Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving (2023)

Thanksgiving is a modern slasher done right, combining brutal practical kills, strong performances, sharp humor, and a genuinely engaging mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. Equal parts whodunit and holiday horror spectacle, the film captures the fun of classic slashers while feeling fresh enough to stand alongside modern favorites like Scream.
