Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving Trailer

The trailer for Thanksgiving is a feast of holiday-themed horror. It opens with a shot of a turkey being carved, but things quickly take a turn for the worse as the carving knife is used to commit a gruesome murder. The trailer then introduces us to John Carver, a serial killer Pilgrim who is on the loose in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Carver is shown assaulting a string of victims with implements more generally utilized to serve dinner than deliver torture and death. Corn forks to the ears, meat tenderizer to the head, that kind of thing. The trailer shows scenes of violence, gore, and terror, as well as some of the main cast members, such as Patrick Dempsey and Addison Rae.

Thanksgiving Cast

The cast of the movie includes Patrick Dempsey, Rick Hoffman, Gina Gershon, and Milo Manheim. Dempsey is best known for his role in the medical drama series Grey’s Anatomy, while Hoffman is known for his role in the legal drama series Suits. Gershon has appeared in several movies and TV shows, including Showgirls and Riverdale. Manheim is an up-and-coming actor who has appeared in several Disney Channel productions.

History of Horror, like the other Visionaries series, will delve into the horror genre, exploring the terrifying works that have kept us up at night as well as featuring exclusive interviews with horror masters, “old and new” according to Roth.  Roth’s statement regarding the show comes in a timely manner after the loss of George Romero just this past month, “Sadly, we lose more of these masters every year and with them go their stories and experiences. This show will serve as a record for future generations — fans and filmmakers alike — to enjoy. I could not be prouder to create this with AMC.”

The six part horror series is slated to begin production soon and will make its debut in 2018.
