Thanksgiving is a new horror-slasher film, which is evidently set during the holiday of the pilgrims. The film’s premise is extremely intriguing focusing on, “an axe-wielding maniac terrorizes residents of Plymouth, Mass., after a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy. Picking off victims one by one, the seemingly random revenge killings soon become part of a larger, sinister plan.” Eli Roth is at the helm of affairs who we all recognize from Inglorious Basterds as he had a supporting role in the film. But, Roth is also a filmmaker known for films like The Green Inferno, Knock Knock, etc. As Thanksgiving had such an amazing critical and financial response in its early days of release, that Sony Pictures wasted no time in announcing a follow-up sequel for the film.
