Rules

• Thanksgiving tropes
• “Thanksgiving”
• WTF moments (plenty of them, so use this at your discretion)

Quotes

• “Everyone called my Sharty Metabernackle!”

What We Learned

• If your sandwich needs more flavor, cut yourself and add blood
• Adams family values is the best Thanksgiving movie
• Nothing is more American than cannibalism

Final Take

Tis the season for holiday themed movies, and there aren’t many Thanksgiving horror movies, so we need to dig deep (already watched all the Thankskillings, etc). Premise is straight forward- a family of cannibals searches for people that aren’t respecting (?) Thanksgiving values each year and murders and eats them. I’m not sure how much they actually abide by this- so if the employees at the restaurant actually want to be with their families to celebrate, would they let them go? I realize I’m overthinking this- its just a thin premise to explain the cannibalistic behavior. Some funny, cringy moments, but otherwise exactly what you’d expect.
