As a child and horror fan of the 80s, I have a particular fondness for horror films, a genre popularized by gory icons like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. The genre reached its peak with Wes Craven's release Screaming in 1996, and fans like me have been chasing the dragon ever since in hopes that another director could deliver a similar blend of humour, horror, and hemoglobin. Now, the unlikely director has done just that, and fans are hoping to experience the best slasher film since Screaming It can now be streamed Thanksgiving Day On Netflix.
Thanksgiving on Netflix
When you watch Thanksgiving Day on Netflixyou'll discover a truly crazy story about a turkey-loving town still reeling from the Black Friday shopping stampede that left three people dead. When the same big-brand store prepares to have a similar sale the following year, karma comes in the form of a killer wearing a truly creepy mask modeled after that of John Carver, the first governor of the Plymouth Colony. As the killings become too gruesome for your drunken uncle to talk politics, a group of teens who survived the original stampede try to stay one step ahead of a killer whose revenge is one dish never served cold.
If you had simply flipped Thanksgiving Day While browsing Netflix, you may not realize how eclectic the cast in this film is. By far the biggest name is Patrick Dempsey (known for his performance on… Gray's Anatomy), who plays a sheriff trying to save the city from the most dangerous threat it has ever faced. The cast includes some screen veterans like Gina Gershon (best known for her performance in… related to) and Rick Hoffman (famous for his performance in Samantha who?) as well as relative newcomers like Addison Rae (known as a popular influencer on social media platforms like TikTok).
Aside from Dempsey, the other big name involved in this production is director Eli Roth, a horror veteran known for horror fests like hostel. Compared to this franchise, the killings in Thanksgiving Day They're usually trivial, which makes this movie accessible to the average Netflix viewer. But Roth still knows how to push a movie's scares to the max, as evidenced by a scene involving an oven that's sure to leave you cringing on your couch cushion while watching.
A hearty horror meal
Fortunately, the public did not back down from Roth's efforts: long before that Thanksgiving Day It ended up on Netflix, grossing $46.6 million against a $15 million budget. That was enough for the holiday box office to warrant a sequel, Roth claims so Thanksgiving 2 It will be released later this year. Not bad for a crazy series that started with a joke trailer Roth cut for the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino horror classic. Grindhouse.
Surprisingly enough, Thanksgiving Day It managed to impress critics, which is relatively rare when it comes to pieces. on Rotten tomatoesthis thick slice of Turkish-inspired terrorism received a critical rating of 84 percent. Overall, critics praised the film for its unique blend of humor and horror and how it combined creative killing with scenes and dialogue that are sure to make you laugh.
When I finally watched Thanksgiving Day On Netflix, I was surprised to find that the critics didn't exaggerate…this might be the best horror movie since Screamingwhich is a good thing because scene after scene is spent biting Wes Craven style. Fortunately, Eli Roth was able to mix it up Screaming-Like Sensitivity with his own brand of humor and gory violence. In addition to its quality as a horror film, Thanksgiving Day Roth is arguably at his best: the film tones down the excess of his hostel films while also heightening the broad sense of humor evident from his first film Cabin fevermaking it infinitely more publicly available than, for example, Green hell.
Thanksgiving Day Review the result
