SPOILER ALERT! AS WITH EVERY SPECIAL EDITION WE WILL BE DISCUSSING SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS
Eli Roth is a lot like Rob Zombie. (Or is it the another way around?) That is a bold statement, but we talk about what the two horror fans have in common - and it is not the fact they both had trailers in Grindhouse. The difference is Roth knows how to put together a movie. Still, there have been some missteps along the way. Does Roth let his worst instincts take over Thanksgiving or is it more like the classic Cabin Fever?
It is hard to talk about any high school slasher made in the last quarter century without talking about Scream. The movie deconstructed horror and its influence is still felt. It is a very high bar, and most films do not even come close to meeting that lofty standard. We break down the things that Thanksgiving was able to succeed at and what did not work as well.
Whether they are there to be fodder or provide some level of depth, characters are an important part of any slasher. Thanksgiving has a surprisingly strong cast that do an excellent job getting audiences invested. But the thing most people will watch the movie for are the kills. The opening segment will clue in anyone watching. We discuss how well things were done and one of the most disturbing scenes we have watched all year.
