Thankskilling (2009)

OMG!  I have descended down the road to darkness and into the depths of the abyss.  There are no redeeming factors left in my soul, I'm a terrible person.  I need an intervention.  My name is Jory Tindall, and I'm addicted....to B movies!

I just watched probably the worst movie I've ever seen (if it's not it's close).  What more could you want than a turkey that was created in colonial times by the native Americans to kill white people every 500 years?  Add to that a turkey with a bad mouth and about 1,000 great quotes and you have Thankskilling.  The plot is based on a typical horror movie formula; evil arises and starts terrorizing and killing the characters in some very cliche ways while the cast tries to find a way to dispose of it.  Of course Thankskilling makes use of the optional coda of adding a comeback for the villain after he is presumed to be dead so that he can kill some people before being destroyed for good.  Thankskilling is straight out of the horror movie textbook is this regard.  Terrible acting, terrible special effects and just an overall bad quality movie that is only made bearable  by the hilarious quotes and obvious air of comedy throughout.  You should probably only see it if you can see yourself enjoying quotes like these coming from the mouth of a turkey:

  • "You just got stuffed!" (note the thanksgiving reference)
  • "Gobble, gobble motherf***er!"
  • "Nice tits bitch!"
What a nice couple of gems!  Honestly I have no idea why this movie is on Netflix, but I gave it three stars in the hope that more people would see it.
