Description: After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the infamous holiday.

Review: “Grindhouse” consisted of two B-movies, but Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. It had a fake trailer for a movie called “Thanksgiving”, a slasher film with 1980s appeal made by Eli Roth. And now, the movie is real.

A department store decides to start their Black Friday as early as midnight and promises free products for the first hundred customers. The result is bloody mayhem. A year later, a group of survivors are tagged in a bizarre message on social media. One by one, they begin to die.

Director Eli Roth turns a fake trailer into a real movie. And I got exactly what I was hoping for. I love slasher films, they are fun. A bunch of awful people being brutally murdered and we are trying to find out who the killer is. That’s what this is. Roth doesn’t do anything groundbreaking. What Roth does do is making this film bloody as hell. And it’s not even his goriest film. Roth manages to pull off some real original kills. And it has some good humor as well.

Even though I did predict the eventual killer, “Thanksgiving” is an entertaining slasher. What you except from it, you get.

Rating: 3,5/ 5
