_Thankskilling_ has been a Thanksgiving Day tradition for me for years.
An ultra-low-budget horror comedy that is self aware enough to put itself in the so-bad-it's-good realm.
So, what's going on here? In typical slasher-movie fashion, we get a group of teen stereotypes - played by older actors, naturally - who are being pursued by a killer, which is a wisecracking turkey - think Freddy Krueger... but a turkey puppet.
The plot is paper thin there, but if you're watching this for depth, look elsewhere.
What makes the movie worth watching is the acting and the dialog: The acting is impressive in the sense that it is not impressive, meaning the actors are doing their best to act badly. The dialog is quotable and funny as hell, but in a cheesy South Park way.
What liking _Thankskilling_ or not will ultimately come down to is if the comedy lands with you or not.
It's goofy, it's crass, it's cheesy, and I love it.

I really enjoyed parts of it, but it's not something I would buy. I think it's worth watching once for one scene. [spoiler] About halfway though the movie Turkie kills Kristen's father. The kids decide to go to Kristen's house to look in her dad's library, because the collection is extensive and he might have a book on how to kill Turkie. The kids knock on the door and who answers is Turkie, wearing Kristen's father's severed face over his head, fastened with a string like a cheap Halloween mask. And the kids address Turkie as if he is Kristen's father and have a full conversation with him as her father for like five minutes. They only notice he's Turkie when the nerd comes out of the library and sees Turkie dragging Kristen's father's lifeless faceless body out of the kitchen, and even then it takes him a few seconds to come to that conclusion. [/spoiler]

Even if this was supposed to be a parody of bad horror films (and it's never clear if it is), it is really bad. But there are points where it gets so bad it's good. Watching with my family on Thanksgiving day, we laughed our heads off at all the turkey's lines.

I cant tell if this was making fun of all the clichés in horror or if it was just full of clichés.

Its so stupid it's enjoyable anyway

What an odd little movie, but I actually enjoyed it (for the most part), and I think I may have just found a very tongue-in-cheek addition to my holiday movie must list.
