Thankskilling


Released: 2009
Horror, Comedy
Director: Jordan Downey
Starring: Lance Predmore, Ryan E. Francis, and other nobodies
Running Time: 70 minutes
Rated: NR

The breakdown:  A murderous, vengeful talking turkey goes around terrorizing some teens in a small town.

My husband wanted to rent this one thinking it would be good for laughs.  I must say the ridiculousness of the trailer was good for quite a few laughs.  So we got it.

During the first thanksgiving, a Native American shaman curses the white people that killed his people and has released his evil spirit into a turkey.  Every 500 years or so, this turkey rises up and kills all the white people it sees with things like axes or whatever he can get his wings on.  Unfortunately for a group of college kids on Thanksgiving break, the turkey has picked this group to kill.

Full of vulgarity, sexual references, nudity, and bloody gore, this movie is not for kids.  Also full of terrible special effects, bad acting, and a terrible plot, this movie isn't for anyone looking for a good movie.
Please don't take it seriously, it is not intended to be, but it was good for laughs for the sheer absurdity of it all.

2 and 1/2 out of 5 for making me laugh quite a lot.
