Thanksgiving (2023)★★★☆☆

I usually like Eli Roth. Maybe this one was just longer and slower than I’d have liked. Maybe it was overhyped a bit too much when it was first released. Maybe I’m just in a bad mood and nothing was going to entertain me today. But I wanted to like this one more than I did.

Does it have some gruesome and gory scenes? Sure. Is the overall story one I can get into and one that’s decently original? Sure. But it just didn’t land for me. I felt the pacing could have been better, the writing could have been better, and honestly the acting could have been better.

I did appreciate the care to the cat, though. And the few familiar faces like McDreamy and Benny.
