... "Thanksgiving" goes hard, though not as hard as "Planet Terror" in the gore department, but hard enough to unsettle stomachs and inspire eye aversion.

| Oct 25, 2024

Thanksgiving feels like a wasted opportunity. We are still waiting for that project that will make Roth a household name.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 3, 2024

Eli Roth gives the holiday the bloody horror comedy it deserves.

| May 21, 2024

This throwback to 90s horror slasher is [Roth’s] best work.

| Mar 8, 2024

I can absolutely see this film becoming a new holiday classic, solely on its opening scene...

| Original Score: A- | Mar 5, 2024

There’s enough nasty comedy in Roth’s crazed kills to make Thanksgiving worth a watch.

| Feb 20, 2024

Leftovers may be scarce, but you’ll definitely be returning to this one year after year.

| Feb 9, 2024

The use of this particular holiday as a horror motif is interesting, but without the period aesthetic that made that teaser so successful, it's just teens getting murdered again.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2024

Thanksgiving most of what people want from the slasher subgenre. It has some wit, it has twists, it has novelty, and it’s genuinely well-made.

| Original Score: B | Jan 22, 2024

It all concludes in a denouement that implies that Roth isn't done with the holiday forever—and, hey, if a sequel comes along, I'd be down for seconds.

The latest gorefest from Eli Roth (“Hostel”) is a typical slasher flick with the gimmick of being set in Plymouth, Mass., over two Thanksgivings. ... It’s not a turkey, but it’s also not as clever as Roth wants it to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 27, 2023

This is a colourful, gruesome horror comic which pokes fun at/holes in an array of culpable characters. What’s not to love?

Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving' is macabre, bloody and unexpectedly funny. The director takes slasher brutality to a new level to tell a story that is already iconic among horror fans. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: A- | Dec 16, 2023

The real villain in this is American consumerism.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 14, 2023

Nonetheless, in the times of horror films with elaborate twists, a return to a conventional narrative structure is gratifying. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 11, 2023

With stronger plotting and characters worth rooting for, this raucously amusing but forgettable genre carve-up might have stirred more gratitude.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2023

I appreciate good practical effects, and that's what we get in this movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 7, 2023

Gory and often unpleasant, Thanksgiving follows the rules of the slasher genre and not much else. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 7, 2023

Roth mustered all his energy into this effort. Armed with everything he learned over his career, Roth’s positioned to make the next great holiday horror classic.

| Dec 6, 2023

The structure and killer reveal are a little wonky, and at times it feels like Roth and Jeff Rendell are trying to shoe horn in elements from the faux trailer, but the kills are solid and the vibe is very fun

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2023
