Thanksgiving Streaming on Netflix This Weekend

Eli Roth’s slasher movie Thanksgiving initially began as a faux trailer created for 2007’s Grindhouse, which ended with ominous voiceover declaring the faux grindhouse film was “coming this February.” It all comes full circle as the new slasher arrives on Netflix…in February.

The slasher arrives on the streaming service much sooner than expected, too. Look for Thanksgiving on Netflix beginning tomorrow, February 17.

In Thanksgiving, “After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday.”

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 produced.

I wrote of the slasher in my review, “Like curating the perfect holiday feast, Roth orchestrates a vicious, thrilling, and raucously entertaining slasher with a showstopper finale. It makes for a satiating feast for the horror fan this time of year, and it’s all but sure to become a new holiday horror classic.”

For even more on the behind the scenes fun of bringing this original slasher to life on screen, Roth broke down John Carver’s design and more in a recent interview with Bloody Disgusting.

You’ll want to get caught up if you haven’t seen Thanksgiving yet; John Carver will officially be back to terrorize the holiday in the officially greenlit sequel set for 2025. Luckily this home release will offer the perfect chance to get acquainted with John Carver.
