Thanksgiving in October

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2002)

The most annoying thing about this movie is the really silly use of plot devices. No one really expects there to be anything new under the sun in horror or sci-fi and the intelligent film maker will devise STRONG twists on stuff that was perfected by Pabst/Browning/Whale/ Lewton/Hitchcock/Corman/Bava/Carpenter. Don't be so weak in plot development and don't deceive or insult your more intelligent viewers because you can't decide if the boogie man will get you or a Holmesian conclusion based on logical insights will be reached. Scare people because it makes sense, or scare them into suspending their disbelief because you know how to write. Good acting though; and at least I had an early early Thanksgiving of...celluloid turkey.
