Thanksgiving: Eli Roth Talks Inspirations For New Slasher
The Thanksgiving marketing machine is starting to power up, and the first featurette for Eli Roth's new holiday slasher is here.
Thanksgiving heads to theaters on November 17th, and we are about to start getting a ton of looks at the holiday slasher film. This first featurette released today shows director Eli Roth talking about his inspirations for this long-gestating film of his. The film stars Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Jalen Thomas Brooks ("Walker"), Milo Manheim (Zombies), Nell Verlaque ("Big Shot"), Gina Gershon ("Chucky"), Tim Dillon and Rick Hoffman (Hostel). It is a full-length feature based on Roth's fake trailer from Grindhouse in 2007, which, if you haven't seen it, you need to. Super NSFW, though. Check out the new featurette below.
Thanksgiving Can Only Be Good
We won here, horror fans. After fifteen years, many thought this would never, ever happen. Roth himself made that Thanksgiving trailer at a much different point in his life and career and could have just taken the compliments as the years went by and never done this. Instead, I expect this to be a love letter to the slasher genre and the lineage of holiday-themed films we have gotten over the years. Halloween, April Fool's Day, My Bloody Valentine, Black Christmas, Friday The 13th, New Year's Evil…now Thanksgiving will get its due.
To say that this has been maybe my most anticipated film of the year since it was confirmed it was coming would be an understatement. While the teaser doesn't have the same Grindhouse feel as that original fake trailer, it has many callbacks, and it looks like it will be a fun time at the theater. This should easily be the best slasher film of 2023, and at this point, the only disappointment is that it is not coming out on Thanksgiving itself. But, opening on November 17th, I will also make sure to go see it that night and maybe a few other times before that.
