Thanksgiving is a 2023 American slasher film directed by Eli Roth and written by Jeff Rendell, based on a story by the pair, who produced with Roger Birnbaum. Based on Roth's fictitious trailer of the same name from Grindhouse (2007), it is the fourth feature-length adaptation of a fictitious Grindhouse trailer after Robert Rodriguez's Machete (2010), Jason Eisener's Hobo with a Shotgun (2011), and Machete Kills (2013), a sequel to Rodriguez's film. The film stars Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Milo Manheim, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Nell Verlaque, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Gershon, and follows a small Massachusetts town that is terrorized by a killer in a John Carver mask around the Thanksgiving holiday one year after a Black Friday riot ended in tragedy.
Thanksgiving received a theatrical release in the United States by TriStar Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on November 17, 2023. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $46 million worldwide.
A sequel is currently in development which is scheduled for a November 2025 release.
