Thanksgiving (2023)
After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a masked Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorises Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the holiday. Picking off residents one by one, the random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister holiday plan. Will the town uncover the killer and survive the holidays … or become guests at his twisted holiday dinner table?
From multiple-award-winning Splat Pack director Eli Roth (Hostel), Thanksgiving has an 84% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics consensus says, “Combining belly-busting humour with delightfully over-the-top gore, Thanksgiving is a feast for grindhouse fans.”
The horror stars TikTok phenom Addison Rae and rising stars Milo Manheim (Zombies), Jalen Thomas Brooks (Walker), and Nell Verlaque (Big Shot), along with the likes of Gina Gershon (Bound), Rick Hoffman (Suits, Hostel) and Patrick Dempsey (McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy), who was up for Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Golden Scythe Horror Awards, where Thanksgiving was nominated for 8 prizes, including Best Picture.
