Midnight in the Switchgrass is another straight-to-video (or streaming) flick that might grab ones attention seeing Bruce Willis and/or Megan Fox on the cover but what you get is a half-baked story, some shoddy editing and another sleepwalking performance from Willis.

Spiral 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Although I do appreciate trying to take the franchise is a new direction, Spiral: From the Book of Saw is a complete misfire with really poor acting, bad and predictable writing, pedestrian direction and nonsensical editing.
