Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh While it doesn't offer anything substantial or fulfilling from an actual narrative standpoint, there are enough oddball antics to at least keep your attention. Its tenuous connection to Thanksgiving at least sets it apart from other '80s slashers. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

scott g A piece of crap. Don't watch this ridiculous movie that isn't even so bad its good. Features one of the worst slasher killers ever and it is not a Thanksgiving horror film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This Golden age slash film gets 1 1/2 stars solely for being completely insane. I was excited for a Thanksgiving-set Golden Age slasher, but the result is just atrocious and boring aside from the moments of sheer stupid insanity. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Familiar storyline has escaped mental patient on a killing spree on Thanksgiving Day. Contains zero character development, with no backstory about the killer along with a most unsympathetic cast of victims. Maybe most notable for showcasing Jake Steinfeld of Body By Jake infomercials as the killer. If you enjoy 80's slasher films, this could be a must-see. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Everything about this movie is fucking awful! I hated every other character in this and couldn't wait for them to die,but then again I hated the killer and didn't find him at all scary. I was hoping there was a twist where a different killer comes along and kills all of them but it wasn't to be. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It is Thanksgiving and the Bradleys and their friends have a lot more to worry about than dry turkey and not enough stuffing to go around. They should be thankful for their lives as an escaped mental patient is intent on ending them. It took me a while to recognize the killer but it is Jake from the "Body by Jake" infomercials they used to show on late night tv.
