With Thanksgiving: Horror Week, director Eli Roth, a well-known figure in horror cinema, delivers a work that blends American traditions and graphic violence, right in line with modern slashers. Starring Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae and Milo Manheim, the film imagines a masked killer rampaging through Plymouth, the historic birthplace of the Thanksgiving holiday. Based on a screenplay by Jeff Rendell, the film revisits the codes of the genre with a bloody, satirical twist.
Thanksgiving: Horror Week will air on Prime Video from April 29, 2025.
Synopsis: A year after Black Friday turned into chaos, a mysterious killer takes inspiration from the traditional Thanksgiving holiday and terrorizes the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts, birthplace of the famous festival. As resident after resident is eliminated, the seemingly random murders reveal a larger, more sinister plan. Will the townspeople discover the killer and survive the holiday... or become guests at his twisted Thanksgiving dinner?
With its masked killer, inventive murders and festive atmosphere that turns into a nightmare, Thanksgiving: Horror Week seems to appeal to fans of old-school horror films , in the vein of Halloween, Scream or Friday the 13th. The film follows in a tradition familiar to fans of the genre: a familiar setting transformed into a scene of carnage, where social conventions become the catalysts of horror.
Forbidden for viewers under 16, this feature could be suitable for a discerning audience in search of stylized violence, dark humor and satirical denunciation of consumer society, notably through the implicit criticism of Black Friday.
With its heavy atmosphere, gory aesthetic and concept based on an iconic American holiday, Thanksgiving: Horror Week seems tailor-made for fans of slasher and contemporary horror cinema. The presence of Patrick Dempsey could also attract a wider audience, intrigued by this counterpoint. The film promises a bloody experience where tradition meets terror.
