    Gobble Gobble...

    This movie isn't a movie that anyone should take seriously, even for a second. If you try to take this movie seriously you'll immediately get on IMDb, give it a 1 star rating (provided that's being considerate) and write about how much of a waste of time it was, yada yada yada. These guys aren't professionals.

    Yes, the acting sucks. The special effects suck. The plot sucks! It all freaking sucks. But seriously, just look at the cover, they made it blatantly obvious at the first glance. What ever your first impression is of what you're getting into, is probably right on.

    If you're looking to kill some time. Sure, watch this movie. But like I said don't expect a grammy winning award for the acting or anything else really. It feels like a bunch of friends got together and made a funny story about thanksgiving and this was the result.

    It's supposed to be stupid and it is

    If u r watching this, you wanted a stupid movie and this delivers. The acting is bad. The turkey is a hand puppet. The turkey swears a lot. Every aspect of the film is low budget. The story is lame. The one liners are horrible. I give it a thumbs up.

    "I'm Gonna Drink Your Blood Like Cranberry Sauce!"...

    From the very first Thanksgiving in 1621, the horror began! Now, centuries later, college kids on T-Giving break, find themselves up against pure hellishness in the form of perverted poultry. It seems that a dog owned by a Ted Nugent lookalike has peed on the wrong grave, bringing forth the fiendish, feathered fowl! Can these youngsters survive the night, with this homicidal pottymouth on the loose?

    THANKSKILLING is every bit as preposterous as its supposed to be. Making the most of its nonexistent budget, it manages to be -almost- funny and gory enough to -somewhat- offset its deep schlock sensibilities. Blessedly short, it still feels longer than it is.

    BOTTOM LINE: The turkey is humorous at times, while the non-actor humans are irritating beyond belief!...

    You Just Got Stuffed

    This is genuinely hilarious. It's satire and it isn't meant to be taken seriously like many of the reviews are taking it. It's exactly what it sets out to be; whether or not the humor works is up to you. If a psycho killer turkey that offers to prostitute himself, disguises himself Leatherface style using someone's face, and eats a salad because he's vegetarian sounds interesting to you, go for it. It probably helps that I watched this with a group of friends at like 4 in the morning, which I would highly recommend if you're going to watch this.

    "You just got stuffed!"

    D+

    For this movie I will not delve into its cinematographer, its special effects, or its director, absolutely nothing. Why you ask, because all of the aforementioned things are completely wretched in this movie. The acting sucks ass, the writing is even worse, making the whole film feel like a third-grader's after school project. It is in all fairness one of the worst movies of all time. The only worthwhile aspect of the whole movie is quite obviously the turkey, voiced by Jordan Downey, the director. Its one liners are amusing, and for that alone I actually enjoyed a few scenes. I've seen so many obscure horror flicks and have watched the likes of killer crocodiles, killer alligators (there is a difference you know), komodo dragons, mutated mosquitoes, bees, bioengineered rattlesnake/cobra hybrid, anacondas, sharks, killer whales, eh, the list is endless, but the turkey manages to be noteworthy. It's kind of like a permanent scar that at first bugs you and then you just get use to it.

    As a horror parody, the film is decently funny. The problem is every second the turkey isn't on screen it gives one a headache. To make things worse, as short as the film is, they actually draw out the character relationships. I guess the co-eds they hired to do it wanted more screen time. If you do dare to watch this, please, have a few beers before doing so to avoid putting the barrel of a shotgun in your mouth.

    And oh yeah, kudos to Wanda Lust with the cuddly knockers in the opening scene. I mean geez the movie literally starts off with an extreme close-up of her nipple before the camera zooms out. She will never live this down.
