Who needs Halloween when you’ve got…Thanksgiving? I post the fake Grindhouse trailer for Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving every single year on the holiday, in honor of the mock teaser that featured a killer pilgrim slaughtering folks on Turkey Day. And now years there were attempts to turn it into a feature film, and it only took fifteen years for it to finally happen. Thanksgiving arrives with a turkey baster full of blood.
The holiday slasher flick stars Patrick Dempsey, Nell Verlaque, TikToker Addison Rae, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Milo Manheim, Gina Gershon, Tim Dillon, and Rick Hoffman.
What’s cool about this is that much of the original trailer appears to have made it into the full-length version, like the frolicking cheerleader and the gory parade massacre. Gone is the gritty grindhouse aesthetic in favor of something that looks a lot slicker and polished. Nothing wrong with that.
Here’s the synopsis: After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday.
Thanksgiving carves its way into theaters on November 17th, right on time.
