A biker named Herscell (Steve Hawkes) gets a flat tire and comes up to a hippie named Angel (Heather Hughes) who takes him home to her party where there she is introduced to drugs by a fellow named Guy (Larry Wright) and meets up with Angel's sister named Anne (Dana Cullivan) as he falls in love with her and then she takes him to a turkey farm to earn some money and is a mad scientist and wants to try an experiment on him.
Suddenly Herscell is then turned into a wereturkey and ends up killing drug dealers blaming them for his addiction.

 

This film didn't make any sense at all as it doesn't show anything interesting to why this biker turned into a turkey when these people wanted to try an experiment. I mean it shows him eating a turkey and stuff like that but there is nothing special on that.
The film is badly done to top it all off and very phony looking. It's one of those badly done drive in type of film and very silly too and I was surprised that this film was ever released and not shelved away after they saw the results of this film since it was an embarrassment but it would be a good film for Troma Team to have since they make bad film as this one earned a golden turkey as well.
Pretty sick and twisted to top it all off.

The acting is terrible in this film and all of these people remained virtual unknown's but who would want these people?
Lead actor Steve Hawkes who portrayed a serious tough biker just says his lines with no character at all.
Dana Cullivan
was just simply annoying as a whiney hippie.
Larry Wright
really tries his best to portray a pimp and drugdealer but doesn't quite pull it off.
Brad F. Grinter
who narrated the piece was no Alfred Hitchcock either to say the least.

There is a butt shot on Heather Hughes after a sex scene

Some women are hung upside down with their throats cut and blood gushing down on them.
A scambag's leg is cut off and it is graphic too.
A turkey's head is cut off and I think this is for real. It's really sick.

The directing is by both the star of this film and by Brad F. Grinter is extremely slacking and rather pointless too.
However, there was a bit of a strong point with Steve Hawkes pinning Larry Wright to the ground demanding him for more drugs.
There's a good camera shot on Hawkes having a seisure as well as him as a wereturkey acting like a zombie walking in the night.
We see a nice moment on Dana Cullivan looking in fright, screaming and then passing out.
Brad F. Grinter
looked like that he was reading cue cards during his narration in the film. Not good at all.

Gil Ward seems to bring some interesting music for this clunker with some cheesy electric guitar playing for the opening as well as some accoustic music further on in the story. He also had the same piano and suspenseful violin playing on the murders.
