Eli Roth\u2019s \u201cThanksgiving\u201d is an extension of his gloriously lurid fake trailer within \u201cGrindhouse\u201d (2007), in which Roth took a benign holiday and gave it the \u201cFriday the 13th\u201d treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running two minutes but packing roughly a dozen Thanksgiving-themed murders, it was as funny as it was gleefully disreputable. It might have been the best work ever from Roth, then coming off the surprise hits of \u201cCabin Fever\u201d (2003) and \u201cHostel\u201d (2005).<\/p>\n

Now, after 20 years of hit-and-miss projects, like the mainstream \u201cThe House with a Clock in its Walls\u201d (2018) and the interesting failures of \u201cDeath Wish\u201d (2018) and \u201cKnock Knock\u201d (2016), Roth has circled back to \u201cGrindhouse.”<\/p>\n

He turned his funny, nasty short into a full-length, gobble-gobble gore fest.<\/p>\n

The plot: Taking place in Massachusetts during the night of Thanksgiving, a Black Friday sale goes out of control and results in multiple casualties (apparently, everyone wanted that free waffle iron).<\/p>\n

A year later, bodies start piling up as a masked killer eliminates the high schoolers who were present at the sale and are visible in a viral YouTube video that captured the event.<\/p>\n

Landing somewhere between a prime guilty pleasure and a slasher sleeper, \u201cThanksgiving\u201d is amusing, depraved and often hilarious. Imagine a \u201cSouth Park\u201d take on teen horror films, with venom pointed in the direction of dumb millennials who point their camera phones towards tragedy and reap the glory of \u201clikes\u201d and followers.<\/p>\n

Just when you think the film is settling down into formula and becoming safe, Roth unleashes another jaw-dropping sequence that pushes the R-rating a lot further than most mainstream horror films.<\/p>\n
