It’s National Horror Movie Day, and Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving celebrates accordingly with a tribute to classic horror movies. Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal a new set of posters that sees Thanksgiving invading iconic horror movie posters along with a featurette that sees Roth discussing his love of slashers.
Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving slashes into theaters on November 17, 2023.
In Thanksgiving, “After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday.”
Watch the Thanksgiving featurette below, where Roth discusses drawing inspiration from classic slashers and the importance of approaching each death in the film as a classic slasher kill. Roth boldly claims that if he never makes another movie again, he’ll be satisfied thanks to Thanksgiving. In other words, expect the deaths to get creative and gnarly with this one.
Also check out the four new posters that see Thanksgiving paying tribute to My Bloody Valentine, Friday the 13th, Silent Night, Deadly Night, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The set of four posters highlight Thanksgiving cheekily invading other holiday horror movies.
The film, an expansion of Roth’s faux trailer seen in Grindhouse (2007), will be released in theaters worldwide by TriStar Pictures and Spyglass Media Group (Scream).
If you missed it, watch the Red Band trailer for Thanksgiving here, which removes the Grindhouse-style filter of grime that was applied to the original faux trailer back in 2007. What we’re getting with the actual Thanksgiving movie is a slick, modern slasher set in the present day, but it seems clear based on this trailer that Eli Roth isn’t leaving any of that ’80s gore behind.
The cast for the feature length slasher movie includes Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Jalen Thomas Brooks (“Walker”), Milo Manheim (Zombies), Nell Verlaque (“Big Shot”), Gina Gershon (“Chucky”), Tim Dillon and Rick Hoffman (Hostel).
Roth wrote the script with Jeff Rendell. Roger Birnbaum and Eli Roth are producing.
