Critics Consensus

Combining belly-busting humor with delightfully over-the-top gore, Thanksgiving is a feast for grindhouse fans.

Audience Says

Some entertaining kill scenes make Thanksgiving a lot of fun for horror fans, even if it isn't all that scary.

It all concludes in a denouement that implies that Roth isn't done with the holiday forever—and, hey, if a sequel comes along, I'd be down for seconds.

... "Thanksgiving" goes hard, though not as hard as "Planet Terror" in the gore department, but hard enough to unsettle stomachs and inspire eye aversion.

Thanksgiving feels like a wasted opportunity. We are still waiting for that project that will make Roth a household name.

Rated: 2.5/5

There is a lot of killing and so much blood. I figured out who was killing everyone early in the movie.
