Thanksgiving Movie Unveils an Array of Gruesome Classic Kill Scenes
Thanksgiving Video Promises a Thrilling Bloodbath with Classic Kill Scenes, as Director Eli Roth Draws Inspiration from Horror Icons Scream and Halloween
Summary
A new, featurette-style trailer has been released for Thanksgiving, Eli Roth's upcoming slasher movie.
Roth teases in the trailer that the film offers an abundance of "exciting kills" that will provide an enjoyable experience for moviegoers.
Although Thanksgiving has not received a rating yet, the trailers for the film and Roth's previous work indicate that audiences can expect a graphic, R-rated slasher movie.
A new trailer highlighting Eli Roth's focus on creating "classic kills" has been released for his upcoming horror movie "Thanksgiving". Originally a fake trailer in the 2007 project "Grindhouse" by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, this film takes place after a disastrous Black Friday sale and follows a ruthless killer dressed as a pilgrim terrorizing the residents of Plymouth, Massachusetts, the birthplace of Thanksgiving. With the release date approaching next month, Fandango has unveiled the new trailer featuring Roth discussing his approach to the movie's kills. Watch the featurette-style trailer below.
The director compares the movie to horror classics like Scream and Halloween, revealing his hopes for audiences to experience the movie's "fantastic kills" in crowded theaters.
How Violent Will Thanksgiving Be?
The trailers for Thanksgiving (as well as the overall tone of the trailer played prior to Grindhouse) allude to significant violence featured in the movie. It involves a young woman enduring the insertion of corn holders into her ears, and another woman being cooked in an oven. Although there is no official MPAA rating for this horror film yet, it is highly likely that it will ultimately receive an R rating.
Roth's past films, such as Hostel, Hostel II, The Green Inferno, and Death Wish, are known for their intense portrayals of violence and gore. However, his 2018 film, The House with a Clock in Its Walls, is an exception and not rated R. This suggests that Thanksgiving, despite influences from Scream and Halloween, is unlikely to be a family-friendly horror movie like M3GAN or Five Nights at Freddy's, both of which have a PG-13 rating. While it remains to be seen how audiences will respond to Thanksgiving, it is clear that the film will feature some thrilling and exaggerated death scenes.
