This is terrible Just so bad but I quite liked it. The first omg line is "your legs are harder to shut the the Jon Benet case" It only got better with the arrival of the killer Turkey. And what a turkey he is, a walking, talking killer evil turkey. The acting is pretty bad with all the stereotypes present. The jock guy, the slut, the last girl, the virgin and the backwoods stoner go camping in the woods could have been a working title. If you like bad movies and have a spare 90 minutes this could be the movie you afternoon nap to.
This Thanksgiving, I had made a joke to my friends that one could use a frozen turkey to kill someone, and used the punchline "Gobble gobble, motherf***er." When I saw that this movie had already been made, corny tagline and all, I was disappointed in myself for not thinking of it sooner. Disappointment and all, I decided to give ThanksKilling a shot.First off, one thing has to be made clear: ThanksKilling is not meant to be taken seriously. In no way is this a "serious" horror flick. It's about as tongue-in-cheek as it gets. Highlights for me included some of the gruesome kills, such as Turkie pecking through one guy's (I can't remember the name right now) chest, turning to face the man, and saying the memorable, if not cheesy, tagline, "Gobble gobble, motherf***er!"Low points are moot points here, as again, it's meant to be over-the- top. My biggest complaint was with the face-wearing scene, where Turkie wear's the sheriff's face as a mask. The kids fall for it, and believe that Turkie is in fact the sheriff. Even as ridiculous as this movie is, I have to question why the director decided on that angle.This bird is a little overcooked, which I suppose it is intended to be. If you're looking for a laugh around Thanksgiving, give this one a shot.
This ultra-super-duper-excessively cheap film is something you just need to see to appreciate. It starts a cheesy looking turkey puppet who goes on a murderous rampage--all during which he makes cheesy and occasionally funny comments. It also features the puppet having sex with a teen as well as one funny scene where he sits and has coffee with an off-duty cop and a song montage that made my brain hurt.Considering that the folks who made "ThanksKilling" meant to make a bad film and had almost no budget whatsoever, it's a hard film to review. Yes, it is bad--but they knew they were making a bad movie when they made it and there is no attempt to make anything other than a very stupid film. So, if you do watch it, you should be the sort of person who likes terrible films AND you have a high tolerance for the vulgarity and deliberately gratuitous nudity. As for the nudity, I normally don't want it in films, but it was rather funny how they used it--as a way of making fun of the gratuitous nature of slasher films. As for the language, it's very, very crude and dumb...but again, that IS what they were looking for! This is NOT a film to show your mother or Father Jenkins (unless your mother or Father Jenkins are sociopathic murderers).Impossible to really rate. See it and you'll see why. And, I really have no idea if I liked it or not!
There are two ways of seeing this movie; either really good or really, really bad. I, personally, found my self incapable of choosing sides; so i'm just going to supply insight from both.Good: You could see this movie as hilarious, considering the killer's a fowl mouthed turkey. But; even if you like this movie; it doesn't really make it a GOD movie, in the sense that even if you like Troll 2, it doesn't make it a good movie. It's really; a movie so bad its good. There are funny moments, and it's got some gruesome kills, if you like that sort of thing.Bad: I have one major issue in this movie that stands out from all the others. It's not the fact that the turkey bangs a girl, or the fact that it's a turkey, the fact it looks like it was shot on an iPhone, or the terrible CGI. It's the dialogue. The dialogue in this movie is such an atrocity, it just ruins the film. If you actually want to get a good experience out of this movie; wear some noise cancelling headphones, hook them up to you iPod, and every time there's a scene without the turkey killing someone; turn on the music as loud as you can, close your eyes, and wait for it to be over.
