"Thanksgiving: Eli Roth's Holiday Horror Delivers a Slasher Feast"

TL;DR Summary
Eli Roth's feature-length take on the fake trailer for "Thanksgiving" falls short of expectations, lacking the cleverness and creativity of the original. The film fails to capture the vintage horror movie aesthetic and instead delivers a poorly-made, mediocre production filled with lazy filmmaking and half-baked homages. The plot revolves around a massacre at a superstore on Thanksgiving evening, followed by a year of revenge killings. Despite the attempts at gruesome kills and nods to the original trailer, the film lacks frights and fun, ultimately feeling like a messy attempt to capitalize on a one-off idea.
