ThanksKilling (2009)
Comedy/Horror Not Rated
Plot
While on their way home for Thanksgiving break, five college kids run afoul of a homicidal turkey that wants them dead. As the cursed bird hunts them down one by one, the survivors scramble to find a way to defeat the possessed creature. Will the bloodthirsty turkey make this their last Thanksgiving feast ever?
Acting
There is no acting talent involved in this what-so-ever, but there are a few quite charismatic performances, pareticularly from Ryan Francis, as the geek in the cool crowd, and "General Bastard" and the yocal out for revenge.
Gore
One guy is graphically decapitated with a hunting knife, a man is shot from inside his stomach by a turkey and the outcome is show in graphic detail. Also has some tamer death scenes involving turkey peckings, a tuker carver and tradition gunshot to the head.
Sex/Nudity
Movie opens with a close up of the breasts of an older pilgrim women(by horror movie standards at least), who is apparently a porn star, who then runs through the woods before dying. There is also a scene, where a fully clothed girl is raped by a Turkey.
Final Thoughts
This movie is as over the top, poorly and goofy as you will ever see a movie. It is however quite enjoyable and often quite finally. The writers and directors appear to be very inventive people and i was glad to see at the end of the movie that they plan on making this a series of movies. Very enjoyable for fans of over the top cheese, however if thats not your thing, stay far far away from this movie.
