Thanksgiving is not like Valentine's Day and those star studded rom-com films. This is straight up horror!
This latest slasher film directed by Eli Roth, is based on Roth's fictitious trailer of the same name from Grindhouse.
It is the Fourth feature-length film to be adapted from one of the fictitious trailers in Grindhouse after Robert Rodriguez's Machete.
Starring former McDreamy doctor Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Milo Manheim, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Nell Verlaque, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Gershon.
I literally saw Thanksgiving on the United States holiday, yesterday.
This film goes hard.
From the store crush, to some serious death scenes. Thanksgiving is a bold new, killer whodunnit. Unlike some horror films, this skips the supernatural. It goes back to back basics.
This felt like Scream (OG) horror shit.
I actually really liked this. It is gory so does deserve every inch of its R rating. However the crazy start of the Black Friday sales crush at the store, feels real. The crazy crowd, seeking cheap waffle makers. In this "cost of living" crisis, this seemed realistic.
Also no SPOILERS but revenge as a motive for a crazed killer. It's old school, but real.
Thanksgiving is a solid horror picture.
3.5 Stars. SOLID!
