Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving' Released to Mixed Reviews

Horror Film Struggles with Tonal Balance Between Comedy, Horror, and Social Commentary

Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving', a feature-length adaptation of his faux-trailer from 2007's 'Grindhouse', has been released to mixed reviews.
The film, set in Plymouth, Massachusetts, follows a killer dressed as a pilgrim who targets those involved in a Black Friday tragedy from the previous year.
Despite an impressive opening sequence depicting a Black Friday frenzy, critics argue the film fails to effectively satirize consumerism or provide compelling characters.
Some critics suggest the film struggles with tonal inconsistencies, attempting to balance horror, comedy, and social commentary without fully committing to any.
Despite these criticisms, the film is anticipated to appeal to fans of the horror genre and those familiar with Roth's previous work.
