When Philip Adams declared Turkey Shoot as 'pornographically violent' with 'unrivalled sadism and brutality', the film's fate was sealed as the guiltiest pleasure in Australian film history.

With more than a passing nod to the Italian sub-genre of savage ultra-violent horror flicks made infamous by Lucio Fulci and Umberto Lenzi, Turkey Shoot follows a group of inmates in the not-too-distant year '2000' who are unleashed and hunted down like 'roos.

Much spearing and evisceration ensues.
