Overview

Thanksgiving is a 2023 slasher film directed by Eli Roth, based on the fake trailer he created for the 2007 film Grindhouse. The film is set in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the town where the first Thanksgiving was celebrated. A Black Friday riot at a local store leads to the deaths of several people. A year later, a killer dressed as a pilgrim begins to murder the people responsible for the riot. The film is a throwback to 1980s slasher films, with gory kills, cheesy dialogue, and a masked killer. Eli Roth brings his signature style, with over-the-top violence and dark humor. The film was a commercial success, earning over $50 million on a $15 million budget. It was praised for its gore and its nostalgic feel.
