Thanksgiving is a film i have been waiting 16 years for, for a while it seemed as if it would never come true. When Grindhouse came out in 2007 it was my event of all events, but since then many films have tried doing the aesthetic, key word being tried. Most have failed, but now Eli Roth has given us his faux trailer in all its glory in the feature film. And it doesn't try to be grindhouse, it instead becomes a missing 80s slasher. A group of douches get killed off, and in fun & innovative ways. The humor doesn't derail anything, it is perfect dark humor and it also doesn't take itself too seriously, it knows exactly what it is. Eli pays homage to many slashers here including a maybe too on the nose reference to The Guest, regardless this film is the fun slasher that is needed right now.
