ThanksKilling (2009)

Happy Thanksgiving! A story about a curse, friendship, Thanksgiving break, and a foul-mouthed turkey. Listen in as me and my returning guest, Devon, talk about how thankful we are for this piece of holiday-themed magic. Directed by first-time-helmer Jordan Downey (ThanksKilling 3, Critters: Bounty Hunter, The Head Hunter) and co-written by Downey and Kevin Stewart (ThanksKilling 3, The Head Hunter), Really Awful Movies said it was a "great film to watch with a group while...waiting for the effects of the tryptophan to wear off," and McBastard's Mausoleum called it "campy, childish and sometimes vile." This bit of digital video storytelling is a blood spattered hoot of a time and pairs perfectly with any large family gathering with children and the elderly. Trust me! It tells the story of a group of friends traveling home for Thanksgiving break from college. They stop to camp out under the stars and get drunk along the way, only to find themselves being hunted by a murderous, vulgar turkey. Hilarity ensues as the body count grows and organs find themselves separated from their owners. This is one time during Thanksgiving I'm happy to see this many giblets! The film is currently available on Amazon Prime.
