Thankskilling (2009)

- written 11/20/09

Summary: It’s that time of the year again to spend time watching football, eating turkey and spending time with your relatives. Oh, except this year the turkey wants to eat you!!! And he’s gonna do it with attitude!           Overall: Hey if you gotta give the film credit for something, it’s for satisfying that hellacious Thanksgiving horror genre market. Count our first film in that category. It’s a very silly, campy film with lots of laughs and lots of gore. And lot’s of good one-liners. The most outrageous being as one character gets raped…by the turkey: “You just got stuffed!”           I knew the film was gonna be different as I watch our intrepid characters discuss curses and turkeyologists… So silly. So outrageous. Other writers discuss their suspension of disbelief at watching the film. Mine was obliterated long before the turkey wears a human face and pretends to be a character’s father. But it’s an entertaining film and you won’t grab your remote even once…except maybe to hit rewind and go “oh tell me they just didn’t make a joke about cranberry sauce!”           It’s a very fun film and I give total credit for the writers. The dialogue was priceless and easily the best part of the film. Good job here.           Comparison: Santa Claws meets Jack Frost
