About

Synopsis

Turkey Shoot (1982) is an Australian sci-fi action-horror you can watch online on iFILM. Director Brian Trenchard-Smith imagines a near future where a military regime sweeps "deviants" into camps and grinds them into obedient labor.

The camps are overcrowded, so the wardens invent a fix. Wealthy guests pay to take part in a hunt, and the prisoners are the prey — blades, rifles and crossbows against the unarmed. The sport stays risk-free for the hunters until Chris and the stubborn Paul Anders are turned loose, and Paul refuses to die without a fight. Steve Railsback and Olivia Hussey lead the cast.

This is prime 1980s Ozploitation: cheap, savage and deliberately over the top. The gore, the lunacy and the jab at authority turned it into a trash-cinema favorite that fans still trade like a badge of honor. Stream Turkey Shoot (1982) online on iFILM.
