Absolutely Absurd: ThanksKilling (2009)

Yeah. You already know what to expect from this film, don't you.  I can't very well say that i was expecting anything brilliant. But you know what? I really enjoyed this garbage. I was chilling with my little brother and one of my high school friends and we decided to watch a movie. We went ahead and got onto Netflix and found this movie: Thankskilling. The film opened up and spend five to ten seconds setting up a back story with text regarding the first Thanksgiving. And then... well. The cover for the film didn't lie. The cover for the film actually boasted that there were "tits in the first seconds of the film". Hey you know what that was cool. But it wasn't more than a minute of pilgrim nudity that our antagonist shows up. The fucking turkey. Who delivered the first spoken line of the film, "Nice tits... Bitch!" and with that, chopped the girl up with an axe (off-screen) and set the tone for the whole movie... WE... WOULD NOT... SHUT UP ABOUT THAT LINE FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE. But there was more after that. we get introduced the main cast and get to see some of the most ridiculous jokes in the history of horror. I guess that is why this movie was fun. It was bad. No doubt. But it was not trying to be good. It was going for ridiculous and did wonderfully. and even ended on a "yes there will be a sequel ;)" note with a "To be contiinued.... IN SPACE" Yeah this one was great.
