This Thanksgiving, I had made a joke to my friends that one could use a frozen turkey to kill someone, and used the punchline "Gobble gobble, motherf***er." When I saw that this movie had already been made, corny tagline and all, I was disappointed in myself for not thinking of it sooner. Disappointment and all, I decided to give ThanksKilling a shot.First off, one thing has to be made clear: ThanksKilling is not meant to be taken seriously. In no way is this a "serious" horror flick. It's about as tongue-in-cheek as it gets. Highlights for me included some of the gruesome kills, such as Turkie pecking through one guy's (I can't remember the name right now) chest, turning to face the man, and saying the memorable, if not cheesy, tagline, "Gobble gobble, motherf***er!"Low points are moot points here, as again, it's meant to be over-the- top. My biggest complaint was with the face-wearing scene, where Turkie wear's the sheriff's face as a mask. The kids fall for it, and believe that Turkie is in fact the sheriff. Even as ridiculous as this movie is, I have to question why the director decided on that angle.This bird is a little overcooked, which I suppose it is intended to be. If you're looking for a laugh around Thanksgiving, give this one a shot.

Yes, I went into this willingly, KNOWING it would be a terrible movie. I just did not know it would be THE worst me and my sister have ever seen! I mean that in a good way, to a certain degree, as well. We make a goal to seek out terrible movies, because you get The best lines out of them. We watched ThanksKilling the night before Thanksgiving this year, and we just...we use the lines. The horrible, tacky lines, and laugh maniacally about it.I'm sitting in my office now, laughing about the terrible lines. I LOVED the turkey's voice, he had the best lines ever and best voice to match it. I just have to know why people signed up to do this, because it kind of made my year. Well...maybe not that but, it has certainly left me with some good lines & laughs.

Maybe it's my dads fault for introducing me to Killer Clowns, Killer Tomatoes, and the like, but this movie is freakin awesome in its bad acting, low budget, and terrible script (with equally terrible one lines. I recommend it.Watch it sober or after a few bowls, doesn't matter it's low budget film making at it's best. there is a rumoured sequel, and if it's even half as funny then it'll be worth every groan. contains possibly the only turkey on woman sex scene ever, notable for the great one-liner "you've been stuffed " . be aware prior to viewing that the camera is a bit jerky and dizzying, an effect that works in this instance.

in some movies brevity is the movie's saving grace. a film that would be terrible at 100 minutes is quite tolerable at 87 minutes. at a mere seventy minutes Thankskilling is brief but not quite mercifully so. The movie begins to recycle it's own out-of-date pop culture jokes somewhere along the thirty minute mark. This should tell you where it stands at 70. The acting is amateurish to the point of annoyance. The plot stupid and poorly thought out. The special effects are bad, but not bad in a good way. Those hoping for an Eli Roth style Thankgiving will be sorely let down. Generally a movie like this would throw in generous heaps of female nudity to make up for it's utterly slipshod nature. not so here. The silly horror Jack Frost does this same thing a million times better. Don't bother.
