A biker comes upon a girl with a flat tire and offers her a ride home. He winds up at a drug party with the girl's sister, then follows her to a turkey farm owned by her father, a mad scientist. The father turns the biker into a giant turkey monster who goes after drug dealers.

Why it matters

A scrappy cult oddity where ’70s biker grit meets bizarre body horror and poultry-based mutation.

  • A one-of-a-kind turkey monster born from low-budget ingenuity and ’70s exploitation vibes.
  • Steve Hawkes channels rugged Elvis charisma amid campy performances and earnest weirdness.
  • A surreal fusion of drug paranoia and mad science that captures early ’70s cultural anxieties.
  • Perfect for fans of schlocky creature features who revel in practical effects gone gloriously sideways.
