Slasher-horror 'Thanksgiving' gets Philippines cinema release date

Columbia Pictures is releasing the new slasher-horror film Thanksgiving in cinemas in the Philippines on November 22.

In case you missed its reveal, Thanksgiving is a new horror flick by Eli Roth, the director of films like Hostel, 2013’s The Green Inferno, and Death Wish.

To further hype up the film, Columbia Pictures shared a featurette that reveals the casts favorite kills in the movie. Thankfully, there are no spoilers here:

“Every kill had to meet our standards of scare and gore,” says director Eli Roth. “If the movie didn’t deliver on its promise, we’d be dead.”

Horror buffs and/or cinephiles may be familiar with Thanksgiving as it’s the fake movie trailer that Roth directed for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse double-feature.

If you aren’t familiar though, the film’s premise is described as:

“After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday. Picking off residents one by one, what begins as random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister holiday plan. Will the town uncover the killer and survive the holidays…or become guests at his twisted holiday dinner table?”
