directed by: Eli Roth, year: 2023
actors: Addison Timlin

Thanksgiving is a gleefully brutal slasher from Eli Roth that reimagines the Thanksgiving myth as a modern holiday-horror spectacle. A masked pilgrim returns to terrorize a small town, slashing through dinner gatherings, crowded kitchens, and dark streets with a bloody axe. The film fuses retro practical effects, brutal set pieces, and dark humor, building tension through claustrophobic cinematography and escalating chase sequences. Survivors must outwit the killer before more innocents are slain. The movie leans into grindhouse aesthetics while delivering contemporary edge.
