The Night Before Thanksgiving

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The plot twist of an archetypal benign object unexpectedly emerges as a hostile villain. A marinated chicken starts plotting revenge against the protagonist, while she was preparing for a feast for Thanksgiving night. Sharpening the blade, the chicken slashed her rampantly as the knife ends her life in violent blows. Outraged by its inability to relive its youth, the chicken reminiscences its early blitheful days in the farm as it murders the protagonist despite her endeavors to escape.
This is a one week quick exercise for us to experiment the skills we learned about filming and playing with the idea of reinterpret scenes from classic movies. Inspired by the 1975 film, the short film is a reenactment of the killer rabbit scene from 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail' where we are captivated by the antithesis between the stark contrast of the rabbit’s preconceived gullible and innocent characteristics and the atrocious assault that it strikes on the knights.
