Thankskilling

One look at the cover will tell you if this is the movie for you: It truly is the “ultimate low-budget experience.” And that’s a good thing. Director Jordan Downey couldn’t have made a better movie if he had 10 times the budget. It’s the story of five teenagers who fall victim to an ancient Indian course that causes a deranged turkey/puppet to rise from its grave to seek bloody revenge. The special effects are laughable, but they’re meant to be. The script is a lot smarter than it pretends to be, especially to fans of horror movies that will recognize every cliché that Downey is gleefully exploiting. And the actors seem to be having as much fun in it as you will have watching it. Give it a chance.
