Turkey Bowl 2
I wrote "Turkey Bowl" to cover movies so bad they didn't really deserve whole articles dedicated to reviewing them. The first two, The Bat (1959) starring Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead, and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (1972), starring cult movie director Alan Ormsby, were indeed cinematic slop fit only for feeding to hogs (well, maybe they weren't that bad).

‘Thanksgiving’ Movie Review
Directed and co-written by modern horror maven Eli Roth, Thanksgiving is a contemporary slasher throwback based on his fake trailer from Grindhouse (2007). One year after a Black Friday riot that resulted in multiple fatalities, the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts is preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving when a mysterious masked killer begins butchering people involved in the altercation the year prior. Now Jessica Wright (Nell Verlaque), her ex-boyfriend Bobby (Jalen Thomas Brooks), and Sheriff Eric Newlon (Patrick Dempsey) have to unmask the slasher before Jessica, her friends, and her wealthy father (Rick Hoffman) end up carved.

The wind whispered through the ancient oaks that surrounded the imposing mansion known as Ravenscroft Manor. Its ivy-covered walls stood tall and ominous, casting long shadows under the silvery glow of the moon. The mansion seemed to creak with the weight of its own history, a history that reached back through generations. It was a place that harbored secrets, and within its walls, a nursery bore witness to a chilling tale that defied the boundaries of the living and the dead.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Device' (2014)
I'm just gonna start by pointing out that nothing as cool as that movie poster ever happens in this movie. I mean, that's some Ghost In the Shell (1995) graphics but it never happens. ANYWHO, my fucking god, this movie was a slog. Yes, it passes my 30 Minute Rule, yes something is always technically happening but fuck sake is it so damn slow. I was bored to tears by the first 30 minutes and I really just didn't want to keep watching. But some-fucking-how I made it through all the way to the end to see the seriously anticlimactic ending.

The interdicted timber of Whispers impended at the edge of the small vill of Eldridge, a minatory breadth that had struck fear into the hearts of the locals for generations.

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is a so-so entry in the Hammer Horror canon, starring Peter Cushing as a particularly loathsome incarnation of Herr Doctor, and Freddie "Mr. Bytes" Jones as some version of Frankenstein's creature, albeit not one stitched together out of the decaying parts of dead men. Simon Ward stars as Dr. Holst, a young drug-dealing (cocaine) psychiatric doctor who becomes the virtual slave of Cushing, who, masquerading as "Dr. Fenner," blackmails Holst to help him with his experiments to transplant brain El Numero Uno from the dead and insane (not in that order I guess) Dr. Brandt (George Pravda), into the body of Freddy Frankenstein. It is, as they say, a pip.
