While several are looking forward to food, family time, and more, others are excited to rewatch Thanksgiving, a horror film that was released in 2023. To the shock of many, the film received positive reviews, and audiences praised the movie.
Per Polygon, the film’s director, Eli Roth, pointed out that after the Halloween season, scary movies tend to slow down. “The rest of the year was just Christmas and family movies! And I’m Jewish, so Christmas movies don’t really matter to me. I would just have to wait until January or February for the movies to get good again.” He added, “So I wanted to fill the November void. There was a desert with no horror films. I wanted to fill it with a Thanksgiving slasher film.”
Roth also mentioned that the idea for the film came after seeing videos of people fighting over Black Friday sale items. “That’s what made us want to make the movie, thinking, ‘Oh, this is what it’s about: It’s about consumerism run amok.’ It’s this idea of pretending to be thankful, but actually, like, stepping over your neighbor to get an item that’s on sale,” he said to the outlet.
