THANKSGIVING

16 years after the fake trailer debuted in GRINDHOUSE, Eli Roth finally makes good on the feature film. Taking place in Plymouth, Massachusetts where Thanksgiving "is an institution there," a killer in a John Carver mask terrorizes the small town. An homage to the horror films Roth grew up on from the opening John Carpenter/Halloween/Michael Myers shot, this film delivers the goods for any diehard horror fan. The cast features a group of up-and-coming youngsters akin to the original SCREAM cast, I was hoping Eli would not disappoint with this endeavor and he did not! I enjoyed this more than I expected and it's probably my favorite movie of the year alongside THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE. The only negative I can give the film is the reveal of the killer/killers as it felt a little light but I had so much fun getting to the reveal that I'm able to overlook it. I can't wait to see this again! 9/10
