Thanksgiving is a real feature film version based on the fake grindhouse trailer. The film presents the gory teaser about a pseudo movie in which a slasher makes his own carving board out of the inhabitants of a Massachusetts town that makes a big annual fuss over the annual turkey day.
One of the pivotal scenes involved Roth himself, separated from his head while in the throes of passion with a date in a convertible. It was popular enough that plans formulated to make a feature-length blood feast with Roth at the helm, but 15 years has passed since the original Grindhouse release and you could be forgiven for thinking that Thanksgiving was never coming.
Thanksgiving is an American slasher film directed by Eli Roth and produced by Roger Birnbaum, from a screenplay written by Roth and Jeff Rendell. It is based on Roth’s mock trailer of the same name from Grindhouse (2007). The film stars Addison Rae and Patrick Dempsey. Principal photography took place in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario from March 13 to May 5, 2023. Thanksgiving was released in the United States on November 17, 2023, by TriStar Pictures.
