    Thanksgiving is based on the faux trailer Roth made for the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse sixteen years ago. He has been wanting to make a feature version of Thanksgiving ever since he made that faux trailer, and even wrote the screenplay with Jeff Rendell (who played the homicidal pilgrim in the trailer) a dozen years ago. Now the feature has finally happened, thanks to Spyglass Media stepping in to provide the funding. Roth jumped at the chance to get the movie made, even though it meant having Deadpool‘s Tim Miller take over as director on the reshoots for his video game adaptation Borderlands.

    Roth and Rendell are producing the film with Roger Birnbaum. Spyglass chairman and CEO Gary Barber and president of production Peter Oillataguerre serve as executive producers alongside Kate Harrison and Greg Denny of Cream Productions Inc. Oillataguerre and SVP Production & Development Chris Stone are overseeing the project for Spyglass while Caellum Allan and Kelseigh Coombs oversee for TriStar.

    You have to hope a victim is trussed, stuffed, basted, baked, and set on a big silver platter.
    Is that too much to ask?

    And that the killer only murders people at halftimes of the many football games he is watching.

    Eli Roth has never made a good movie, and I expect this to continue the trend.

    There's an episode of some recent horror-anthology series that features a cult of murderous "Pilgrims" who show up at a family Thanksgiving to "teach them the real meaning of the holiday". No idea where I saw it, but it was ridiculous and pretty fun.

    Watched it with the wife over the weekend, it ok but not great. Roth essentially lifts the Scream template and uses it with a holiday theme. Its incredibly campy and the violence and set pieces are funnier than they are scary. C+
