Based on a one-note joke and a fake trailer from Grindhouse (2007), Eli Roth's Thanksgiving aims to become a new holiday classic (especially since there aren't enough turkey-themed slasher pics). A pilgrim wearing a John Carver mask (a fitting name if there ever was one) goes around slicing people up around the festive season. I know we've seen it all before, but it somehow manages to be entertaining without feeling like a complete cliché. My only complaint is that they went hard with the gore, but not enough with the big floppy titties. If you're going to do a throwback slasher flick, you have to provide the skin to go along with it. I found myself going back to the original Grindhouse trailer just to see how much things have changed in the 16 intervening years (note the big floppy titties).
