I'm always a little wary of movies that rely on the "don't take it too seriously" reputation. We've gotten pretty burned in the past, and for the most part we appreciate films that at least try to do something original and well made but fail. When a "dude, it's not supposed to be Oscar material" stuff is bad - it is always just fucking BAD.

Strangely, this isn't the first killer bird movie we've seen. Instead of a turkey, Zombeak featured a chicken on the rampage. We only gave a few points out for that one, and I'm afraid I can only do the same for Thankskilling.

Supposedly, the film crew squeezed in shooting (11 days) during summer break from college with a $3,500 budget. I think the majority of that went towards hiring porn actress Wanda Lust (star of the hit film "Cock Smoking Grannies") and animating a few scenes. Really, the whole movie should've looked like the flashback sequence, as it was a nice break from the actual movie when it appeared out of nowhere.

It surely wasn't to make the killer turkey prop! He looks like five pounds of vomit stuffed into a four pound bag. Or maybe it went towards that bunny prop - now THAT looked good.

Anyway, there are more corny gags and one-liners here you can shake a drumstick at. Poop in coffee, a turkey banging the "slut" of the group and tell her she just got stuffed, even an actual random drumstick. One in particular involves the turkey putting on the recently deceased father of the "good girl" Kristen...and nobody realizes anything is wrong. If there was any doubt the movie was not supposed to be taken seriously, it all vanished at this point.

It also doesn't help the move that the turkey's voice is incredibly aggravating. Every time he talks, he does this "hahahahaha" thing that drove me crazy. Sound production wasn't bad, though, so at least we could hear him chuckle over and over again clearly.

Luckily the thing's only an hour. It's enjoyed some of that coveted "so bad it's good let's check it out" fame others like Tommy Wiseau have managed to snag. Whether it holds out, we'll see, but I honestly doubt it. It's just another example of some filmmakers making a silly little movie instead of actually making a real attempt with funds they were able to raise.

This film was truly over-the-top, intentional cheese. You can tell right from the start that it was not intended to be a real film. Unfortunately the best gems usually happen with films that are trying to be legit, and end up full of cheese. This one falls short of becoming a classic, or grabbing your attention. The one liners are blatant, and usually pretty lame. The fact that they filmed it in a week is obvious. Each scene seemed to be made up on the spot. depending on what they had available.

I thought the music was the most fun. It was ripping off other horror soundtracks, and never really seemed to fit. Somehow it still gave me a laugh though.
