Thanksgiving is a horror slasher that is truly entertaining and was first premiered as a little fake trailer within the movie Grindhouse.
In terms of story it's pretty simple just like most old slasher films are. The movie follows a riot at a black friday special on thanksgiving where many are injured or even killed. A year later and someone is killing all those they deem responsible for the massacre. The story follows a group of friends who having been seen on a video made that evening are now being hunted down by the masked killer. Honestly overall it's fun, each death/killing is different and unique and if you enjoy slasher films this one is definitely for you!
The cast is pretty great as well with Patrick Dempsey playing the local sheriff and absolutely killing it in the role. We also have Milo Manheim from the Z. O. M. B. I. E. S movie playing Ryan and I for one loved his performance and I'm sure everyone else will as well. We also have Rick Hoffman, Gina Gershon, Jalen Thomas Brooks and Addison Rae among others. The main actress is Nell Verlaque and she is both incredibly beautiful and insanely talented! Her performance was amazing and I look forward to seeing her in any sequels made as well as in other productions.
The VFX and SFX were awesome! There was blood and gore everywhere with awesome kill sequences and creatives deaths throughout the entire movie. Really well done for me!
Overall a well deserved 8/10. In a time when a lot of movies are no longer loyal to their roots Thanksgiving still manages to show it's old slasher movie roots and I'd recommend it to anyone whose a fan of the genre either for it's creative kills and mystery or for the performances from the cast especially it's beautiful leading lady Nell Verlaque!
