Thanksgiving (4 Stars)



If you live outside of the USA, you probably won't know what Thanksgiving is. It's a celebration that Americans have the day before Black Friday. That's all you need to know.

I'd already seen trailers for the film, but they didn't prepare me for what I would see. It's a teen slasher movie, which wasn't at all obvious from the trailers. The film begins with Black Friday sales. There's a riot, and there are several deaths. The following year there are a series of murders, targeting teenagers who were present at the riots. Is someone trying to get revenge? It seems like it, but there are no obvious suspects.

If you like slasher movies, you'll enjoy "Thanksgiving". It follows all the usual tropes, including repeated jump scares. And best of all, it's directed by Eli Roth, so you can expect quality.



You might be wondering why I've been calling my recent posts "Netflix Thursday", even though it isn't a Thursday. My explanation is little more than a lame excuse. A few years ago I decided to watch a film on Netflix once a week, every Thursday. I didn't keep to this decision, and I watched a lot less than once a week. I've only watched Netflix when I'm with my son Benjamin, usually at the weekend, but I've been on holiday with him in Borkum all week. I don't have my Blu-rays with me, so I rely on Netflix. I've been calling my films Netflix Thursday films, whenever I watch them. Does that make sense? Not really.
