So much average
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
A Masterpiece!
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Alright, this movie is just downright awful. In no way am I congratulating any work put into this atrocity. Yet it still made me laugh because of how terrible it was. First off the characters...all stupid or ignorant in their own way just struck me as hilarious. Even in really cheesy/bad horror flicks there's always one sort of "voice of reason" with a small amount of intelligence...not in this film! That is part of what makes this comedy (in my opinion) at least silver tier. Ultimately there are a few parts of this film that are still stuck in my head and make me laugh, but that doesn't make it any better.
The front cover of my copy of the DVD for this movie advertises "boobs within the first few seconds" and they deliver Nudity aside, this is a surprisingly solid little horror film. I say surprisingly, because this is a bottom of the barrel budgeted movie. As can be expected, the acting is pretty horrible, but it doesn't really take away enjoyment from the movie. There is also plenty of humor, mostly from "Turkey" and gore galore. Throughout the movie, the four main characters act pretty retarded, and deservedly get knocked off one by one. At one point, Turkey kills and skins off the face of one of the main characters father,wears it as a mask, and actually fools our hopelessly stupid heroes on a "Wtf are you really that retarded?" Moment If you haven't seem this movie, what are you waiting for? You won't be disappointed.
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.
