Summary

In this episode, we carve into the darkly twisted world of Thanksgiving (2023), a bloody slasher from the mind of Eli Roth. A tribute to the slasher films of the '70s and '80s, Thanksgiving takes the innocent holiday of feasts and family gatherings and turns it into a nightmare. We explore the film’s premise, which follows a masked killer on a violent rampage during the holiday season, serving up a chilling dose of terror with every slice. Join us as we dissect the film’s gory kills, the nods to classic horror tropes, and the blend of dark humor with gruesome thrills. How does Thanksgiving balance its over-the-top violence with satirical commentary on holiday traditions? What makes the film stand out in the horror genre, and how does it compare to Roth’s other works?
