Turkey Shoot

1982 · 93 min

A grimy, gleefully nasty exploitation thrill ride that lurches from sadistic cruelty to cartoonish mayhem, best enjoyed as lurid midnight-movie spectacle.

Tagline
Experience The Year 2000...And Hope To Hell You Can Escape!
Overview
In the near future, after an unspecified holocaust, survivors are herded into prison camps. There, they are hunted for sport by the leaders of the camp. Paul, one of the newest prisoners, is determined not to go down as quietly as the others.
