Turkey Thursday: THE POWER

Added 2022-07-26 18:53:12 +0000 UTC

Hello, Traxians!

Your old pal Erik here. Let's watch another Turkey this Thursday, whaddo ya say? This week, I'll host a watch party just for Patrons, wherein we'll screen our riff of THE POWER. (That's right, another movie whose title starts with "The"!)

Here's our synopsis:

It seems like every time a movie character unearths a mysterious idol from an ancient ruin, some cursed demon ends up imbuing them with a psychotic need to kill. But the characters in The Power have a pretty good feeling about this mysterious idol from an ancient ruin!

When some teens bring a Ouija board to a graveyard, they’re immediately arrested by the cliché police. Here to help them is Jerry, who’s in town visiting his... sister? Ex? Daughter? We’re not exactly sure. What is certain is that nobody has ever been less of a leading man than Jerry. (This includes the teens’ Ouija board.)

When The Power seizes control of Jerry, it’s all the teens and his sister-girlfriend can do to resist—resist the urge to laugh at the laughable prosthetics they use to make Jerry look evil, that is.

The evil/haunted doll/idol/artifact looks extra cheesy, so I can't wait. Please join me at the special Traxian Room here this Thursday at 3:30pm Pacific / 6:30pm Eastern! I'll play the stream through Vimeo, and all you need to join the Watch Party is Google Chrome with the free Scener extension.

See you then!

Erik
