ThanksKilling (2008)

Right, well when I found "ThanksKilling", it was with a certain amount of doubt that I picked it up and decided to give it a go. But there is that small voice at the far back of the mind that goes "go ahead, it might be surprisingly good" and that, more than often, does convince me to go for questionable movies."ThanksKilling" wasn't as bad as it could have been, so that was at least a step in the right direction. And I will say that the turkey made it worth watching the movie!This was definitely a low budget horror in every aspect of the meaning, so don't get your hopes up for something grand here.It was an interesting take on the storyline, predictable though. So it turned out that the plot and storyline was actually adequate for what it turned out to be."ThanksKilling" was weighed down by questionable acting performances though. Which was a shame, because that blasted killer turkey was such a blast to watch on the screen, and it definitely had potential.If you manage to sit through "ThanksKilling" once, I doubt that you will do it a second time around, because the movie just doesn't have enough contents to support multiple viewings.

This movie was one of the most horrible I have ever seen or heard of. It tries to act like a "so bad it's good", but it's really "so bad it's horrible". The jokes and puns aren't funny, some even offensive (they reference the Jonbenet Ramsay case TWICE, while failing to be funny both times). I've heard better puns in Foodfight. The characters also act like complete idiots to the point where you just want to slap some sense into them. The turkey is clearly a puppet, and not a convincing one. It felt like it would take forever to end. The acting is also incredibly wooden. Not recommended.

If you're a fan of other cultish movies and if you dig absolutely terrible/hilarious horror films, you need to watch this. I don't actually think i've laughed so hard at a movie in a long, long time. The soundtrack of this movie is good enough on it's own, but when you combine it with unnecessary nudity, horrible actors, a ridiculous/amazing plot line and of course a bit of toilet humour, it's difficult to hate it at all.The only downfall to this movie was the fact that it was only 70 minutes long, you kinda' find yourself panicking as it gets to the end because it feels too soon.The only people who would hate this movie are the ones who actually take it too seriously, do not, for the love of God take it seriously or you're gonna have a bad time.So, if you're ready to watch a demonic axe-wielding turkey hunt people down while using the best puns and one liners, this has to be watched.Gobble gobble motherf--kers!

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.
