They Kill Donkeys

About This Movie

They Kill Donkeys is a peculiar entry in the 1970s comedy scene, with a vibe that’s both quirky and absurd. The pacing is a bit uneven; it meanders at times, but there's a charm in its randomness. The performances are all over the place, which adds to the surreal atmosphere, making you wonder if the actors were fully aware of the script's oddball nature. The gags, while sometimes falling flat, have this raw, slapdash quality that reminds you of a bygone era of low-budget filmmaking. There's something oddly endearing about how it embraces its own ridiculousness, and the practical effects, though limited, have a certain handmade quality that feels refreshing in today’s CGI-heavy landscape.

This film isn't exactly easy to come by; its obscurity makes it a curious piece for collectors. There have been only a few releases over the years, primarily on VHS and some low-quality DVD transfers, which limits its availability. The scarcity of decent prints and the film's oddball reputation has created a niche interest among collectors who appreciate the bizarre and unconventional side of 70s cinema.
