Thankskilling-low budget but hilarious
If anyone takes this movie seriously they are obviously not very smart. This is low budget film filled with blunt, cheap humor, which makes it all the more enjoyable. I stumbled upon it on Netflix and proceeded to watch it another 4 times. I absolutely think it is ridiculous and funny. Cheap set, yes, bad acting, yes, over acting, yes, most demonic turkey of all time, double yes. How could it be bad? It really is funny if you don't sit there scrutinizing it.One sinistery fowl turkey slasher
What kind of bird-brained animal slasher is this? It's Thankskilling, and yes it's about an out-of-control homicidal turkey. Just an oversized holiday bird with a penchant for human slaughter. Gobble gobble mother #$@&!
Definitely not your average, mundane "animal on a vicious killing spree" type of adventure. This wild turkey doesn't harness lethal talons or a razor sharp beak in order to overcome his prey. Instead he utilizes guns, electric knives, or a meat thermometer in order to wreck havoc. Needless to say, this is some fantastically bloody fowl play.
Plot schmlott, this complex storyline amounts to nothing more than a maniacal bird that likes to kill people. I guess a couple of centuries ago the Native Americans placed a demonic curse on the trespassing white pilgrims. This hex eventually amounts to a psychotic turkey that constantly seeks revenge during the holiday. Better say your prayers chumps!
The film crew probably had to panhandle for change in order to scrape together this budget. We're talking low, low, low--like $3000. So of course the props and sets are dirt cheap. Heck, the main star is a rubber turkey! The insertion of blood and carnage comes off as fairly gruesome, but it's also laughably fake looking. As far as the acting goes, students might study this in film school to realize what not to do.
But still there is an artistically insane charm to this nasty little gem. It's filled with lots of goofy one-liners. Some nudity. Of course the blood spray with some unique killings. Plus a foul-mouthed mass-murderin maniacal bird, how cool is that? Heck, we even get to see this oversized pigeon take liberties with a hot college chick in the bedroom. Priceless!
Oscar might have passed this one up, but don't you make the same mistake. Thanskilling is pretty stupid awesome cheesy Z-grade horror. For fans of Troma films (especially Poultrygeist), this is a must see. Let's pray for a sequel!themeatnpotatoesofitall
I'M one of the Lucky ones,(temp. out of stock, I see,as I type this emergency.. intro-review) took a chance with reviewers on Frog-g-g it bombed to the Z-phantom zone,..( see my review on frog-g-g and understand why)I am only 2o min into this thing and it's freakin Hilariuos the music(Friday 13th/Phantasm/Halloween, with a pinch of Turkey Gobbling HA!HA!) the characters the dialougue, hell I'll be honest with you I loved the opening credits very 50ish 60ish Horror / Sci-FI style(artsy I likee) and the music kicks Butt, Amazon.com we have a winner here(instant cult classic here) I will return and give a full review with out giving away the excitement to the first time viewers (Killer demon possessd Turkey)HA! HA! A Must have..The turkey attack noise song is great..I'll be Back to follow this thru..I'm back..somthing stopped my cont. of my review from going thru the first time? O'well
the movie pokes fun at(over used horror stuff) your typical cliches, and stereo type monster movie structures, you know, High School kids being played by people in their 30's and 40's, the drooling geeky fella, was kinda funny (looked like he was in his 30's), feel good moments..you know..get the viewer to be on an emotional level with it's characters.."I love you too, kinda of stuff" story goes as follows, an awokened("P"-OFF") demon possessed Turkey(the vestige of a curse from a centries old Medicine Man) goes on a crazed rampage of revenge against the white people, of a small community.. town, the special effects are of a "B" class no + there, though I did enjoy the sharp camera work..did a great job making it look like, a homicidal Turkey on the Loose.. LOL!!..stick "N" Move..he's quick and dangerous LOL!HAHA!! was going to drop my rating to a 4 Star, but every time I think about the scene, when one of the survivors curses, and promises revenge (on the Turkey) is one of the funniest parts "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDEN ME?"A FREAKIN TURKEY?!!"(so emotional, so distraught)and incredible funnyHA!HA!HA! 5 stars for that funny!!..sorry folks I don't go into too much detail in my reviews, crushing any first time viewing expierences..(especially if its a good dvd)if you know everything, before you watch it, what's left to watch?..This film is sorta like a Toxic Avenger Movie(Cheezy acting,extreme gore,sex,horror) but done with a little more talent and class..though don't be fooled it's pretty gorey..definitely not for the little ones..but extremely funny for the rest of us..Turkey has more one liners than Freddie Kruger and Hellraiser's (Cybenites) Pinhead, and he even has a little game, with the ladies.. (sheesh)..Oh,..and how can I possibly forget.. Turkey is also a master of Disguise LOL!! this movie is Corney,Funny, Disturbing and at times ah.. very..aah...awkward?..HAHA!! If you watch this movie, this review will make a lot more sense..it could have had a better ending..they probably struggled with the editing down process..
A must see
One of the better movies you can buy right now. Full of good lines and a movie that you can watch over and over, and it never gets old.Amazing
I can't remember the last movie that made me laugh this hard. So many scenes we had to rewind and rewatch because we couldn't believe what had just happened. It's so great to see a movie that truly revels in it's silliness and doesn't take anything seriously. I loved it.Product Description
