Excited Turkeys

About This Movie

Excited Turkeys is a curious gem from 1966 that melds dark comedy with a biting satirical edge. The film dances on the line between realism and stylization, creating a unique atmosphere that draws you in, much like the works of the avant-garde. The pacing can feel a bit off-kilter, but that’s part of its charm. It explores heavy themes through a lens that’s both amusing and unsettling. Practical effects are minimal yet effective, and the performances have this raw, authentic vibe that really sticks with you. It’s that odd blend of laughter and discomfort that makes you think twice about the societal norms it critiques.

Excited Turkeys is somewhat of a rarity; it hasn't seen much attention in the collector's market, likely due to its obscure director and limited releases. If you can find a copy, especially in decent condition, it could pique the interest of collectors drawn to offbeat indie films of the 60s. The film’s approach to storytelling and its thematic depth make it a fascinating piece for those who appreciate cinema that bends the conventional narrative.
