Alright, this movie is just downright awful. In no way am I congratulating any work put into this atrocity. Yet it still made me laugh because of how terrible it was. First off the characters...all stupid or ignorant in their own way just struck me as hilarious. Even in really cheesy/bad horror flicks there's always one sort of "voice of reason" with a small amount of intelligence...not in this film! That is part of what makes this comedy (in my opinion) at least silver tier. Ultimately there are a few parts of this film that are still stuck in my head and make me laugh, but that doesn't make it any better.

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 The movie begins to recycle it's own out-of-date pop culture jokes somewhere along the thirty minute mark.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.

Sadly, since the "creators" of ThanksKilling were self-aware, this turkey wasn't as funny/bad as, say, The Room, Birdemic or Troll 2.I can see where this buck forty-budget of a horror-comedy was trying to be funny, and I'll admit 1 in 20 lines were a tad bit funny, but overall it wasn't. At least, intentionally. You see, there's this cursed turkey – I really won't get into the reasons, it's so dumb, it's actually boring – that starts gutting hapless youths and they carry on arguing or watching movies like they were auditioning for a stage version of Seinfeld.Being fully aware myself, and definitely prepared by the person who recommended this and all the internet comments, I didn't hate the movie. Mercifully, it's just about an hour in length. Unfortunately, these absolute amateurs never really made it fun, the "Chucky"-like turkey killer doll was never funny and resorted to, ah hem, fowl language to make him more "evil," I guess.I hear it's making its way around the net, and available through Netflix – YES, thanks, Netflix, ignore the hundreds of 4-5 star films and continue having us pay for these bird-turds. It's really not worth it. If you want a good laugh at unintentionally bad movies, stick with the classics: The Room, Birdemic or Troll 2.Rating: 1 out of 5 Stars
