After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorises Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday. (IMDB)

We had no clue that Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving would be this good. Frankly, at this point, seing “Directed by Eli Roth” became a seal of quality.

The movie is so good, we’ve been enjoying it from the opening scene to the closing credits. It has this 90s slasher vibe that we love so much with a lot of characters who could be the killer, a high school bunch of kids in danger, and a relatable motive for the antagonist. The kill scenes are all excellent, with a perfect blend of creativity, gore and blood splatter. The Black Friday sequence was beyond amazing and set the tone of the rest of the movie.

Thanksgiving is the pinnacle of what we love in horror movies, I highly recommend.

We watched Black Friday on Black Friday and I don’t know what was worse: the movie or the sales day. I don’t care much about the sales day (I avoid it every year). As for the movie, it was bad. 

Just as in Ash vs Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell delivers a demonstration of overacting. The scenario is horrible and lacks pretty much everything that would keep us interested. The special effects of the final scene were laughable and we were so bored that we got restless in the coach. 

I get the whole analogy between customers and zombies, but it was made in the most boring way possible. My final advice: if you see Bruce Campbell in the credits of a movie, don’t watch it!
