I was expecting a lot more from Thanksgiving. I love Eli Roth movies but this one fell flat. I was constantly thinking, “When are we going to see his form?” It never happened. In my opinion, Thanksgiving felt a lot like “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” just not as good, and that’s kinda bad.
I never developed feelings for any of the characters. I mean, I disliked them all but not in a good way. Especially with Roth’s talent of bringing his characters to life, not here.

The story was decent, it had a good base to it but the cast blew it.
I would wait for it to stream somewhere; it’s not worth the ticket price.

My bladder thanks you so much!! App works great for telling u when and for how long you have a pee break! I didn't use the timer function so the dialog in the movie was a great clue as to when to go. I also liked the info about each movie to know whether there was any extra scenes during or after the credits. Nothing worse than waiting for all the credits and then no extra scene.

About The Peetimes: There are 2 Peetimes to choose from, I like the 2nd Peetime better. The 1st Peetime should only be used for an emergency.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the en d credits of Thanksgiving.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
I got to say, I disagree with your review. I don’t know what you were expecting but based on your assumption that you though I know what you did last summer, was better, you wanted more of a straight up slasher and less of a mystery. I get that but like the mystery aspect and perhaps that’s just where we differ! I will say, there was an error in the movie! When “John Carver” was holding up the phone to show the table he’d prepared, how the screen pan to show all of the others at the table? He must have had help although it was shown…
