Turkey Shoot (Jon Hewitt, 2014) wr. Jon Hewitt, Belinda McClory, prod. Antony I. Ginnane, exec. prod. Robert Trenchard-Smith; Dominic Purcell, Viva Bianca, Robert Taylor; 'remake' of Turkey Shoot (Brian Trenchard-Smith, 1982)
Andrew Urban:
This is fun, funny, serious and exceptionally well made, with a power-drill of a score by Cezary Skubiszewski. It's made in Australia by Australians, so the setting in the US is simply a function of the screenplay; judging by its sensibilities, it's very much an Australian film. It certainly doesn't take itself seriously, and has fun with the genre elements. Andrew L. Urban, urbancinefile
Ron Cerabona:
This 2014 movie isn't so much a remake of the notorious 1982 Ozploitation movie as a new film borrowing the title and a few of the elements of the original. It also mines other movies such as The Running Man and The Hunger Games. And, of course, it all goes back at least as far as the classic short story The Most Dangerous Game. SMH.
