8:33 On Black Friday 2008, 34 yr old Walmart employee, Jdimytai Damour, was asked by his employer to use his 6’5 body as a barrier for a crowd of over 2,000 people. He died that day after being trampled by the crowd. The shoppers were not concerned about his death, and even complained of waiting too long.
Was one of the 600 outside and 200. I walked away from this set with bruises, but my god, I would do it again. The best was the practical door when it came down on doug and watching the woman get scalped to death. Seeing the stuff live was absolutely the coolest part and made the four nights on set amazing. What was also fun was that between takes and on break, we all went shopping as the manager of the store had to be therr for security reasons, so he just opened the till. This review made me so happy because I absolutely loved being apart of it and i think this film deserves all the praise and love it can get!
Hope you've warmed up since! Being an extra is a THANKLESS Job I know the PA's/AD's appreciated you're hard work! LOVED THIS MOVIE! And I worked on Machete btw! Fellow Grindhouser 😊
That scene was one of the most disturbing moments in a movie to me. It felt like it was just showing the cruelest and most selfish parts of humanity in a real setting. Congrats on being part of a scene that still makes me scared
@garinsparks7041 I've done bg on countless films and tv. Some sets suck, some sets are amazing. That one was chaotic in all the best ways. Eli was such a chill guy and super sociable between takes. I'd easily work on another set of his.
First rule of screenwriting: The character that says "Don't trust anyone" is almost always the villain. If anyone says it to you in real life, get ready to run.
This movie's opening is a lesson in how to make a simple situation, like Black Friday, so intense even before all hell breaks loose. I remember being on the edge of my seat even before all the people rushed into the store.
6:21 I love that actual teenagers helped with the dialogue for the teenage characters. When movies do that, the dialogue feels more realistic and less “how do you do, fellow kids?” It also makes me more invested in the characters because I feel like they’re actually real people and not caricatures of teenagers. So shoutout to this movie for doing that.
Fun facts, 1: manny’s cat is played by tonic who was church in the pet semetary remake, Milo Mannheim who plays Dillon is mainly well known for playing zed in Disney channel’s zombies movies and show
I also think it’s funny he ended up playing Jesus’s step dad a month after this came out. Hope Milo gets more horror roles, he’s good but I don’t think his character really needed to be in this movie
Not really I called it and knew they made it like that so when you re watched it you could point and go “oh look it’s foreshadowing🤓🫵” like no it just ruins a good who dunnit
The problem with that is that when movies like that tends to spoil it at the beginning ruins the surprise/reveal and have the reveal of the killer gets old real quick. It's not "ignoring" you will easily know or don't bat an eye at the beginning
@@Killerclips420 exactly! I don't think the original comment thought of it through enough to eve. Care that the foreshadowing has been done to death in movies
As someone who grew up in the same area of Massachusetts as Eli Roth, this movie is SUCH a treat. The over the top accents and “masshole” attitudes are on point, the reverence for the holiday in the area, the decor lol It really felt like a hometown horror for me and I couldn’t love that more!! Probably my favorite Roth movie tbh Edit: S/O to the moment with the cat where he just pets it, made me love him and root for him lol
The scariest part of the whole supermarket massacre was the complete apathy and carelessness of the shoppers while people were dying around them… and all for a damn *WAFFLE MAKER*
@travescharic I mean, maybe not every year, but plenty of people have died on Black Friday. Doors being pushed in, crowds trampling, killing during fights, etc.
@@travescharic It can be, there have been deaths. I worked a Black Friday in Walmart during high school, and one guy jumped the gun on grabbing at the Blu-Ray players before the employee was finished cutting away the shrink wrap and even seeing a guy get his hand sliced open on a box cutter didn't slow them down.
I’m actually glad Thomas lived, you rarely get to see that character make it through a movie like this, he’s usually used as a kill to upset the protagonist. It definitely helps that he found redemption, too.
Wait. 2 annoying boyfriends, a girlfriend who's over it all, a holiday disaster, and a killer wanting revenge. Is this just My Bloody Valentine of the fall? AND the killer gets away in a fireman's uniform? My Bloody Valentine 3D
Hubby and I watched this yesterday partially for the Kill Count and partially for my late brother who loved the Grindhouse trailer and wanted to see a feature length version. We both had a good time with it and we think my brother would have loved it.
there’s so many things I love about this movie. the opening “killer” reveal, the realistic reactions to that final thanksgiving meal, the creative kills. it’s by no means a perfect movie but as a slasher fan it’s become one of my favorites
That was such a horrifying and real scene. You could tell the killer was improvising, and while a tablesaw is definitely dangerous, it's not normally fatal unless you have proper setup. I fully expected her to end up maimed, but the dice were not in her favor and that was TRAUMATIZING.
The part that made it so frightening is how it's actually pretty realistic. When seeing someone die violently in front of you, most people react with stunned shock rather than terror or grief.
The forshadowing in this movie is insane From the opening pov shot from the killer's pov to Jessica showing him the security photos literally telling him who he should kill and him telling Kathleen she'll make an excellent dinner And misdericts with baseballs falling on the floor when Kathleen is trying to hide making us think it's Bobby
This is probably my favorite holiday horror movie ever! I thought it was really well-done with lots of amazing kills. Kathleen's death is probably my favorite because of the entire sequence. The way she was able to avoid the killer for as long as she did before getting caught was such an suspenseful and amazingly done scene. Plus, the cast is incredible!
I was so bummed she didn't escape! She went from a nothing character to Final Girl worthy just for that scene alone. She woke up in a slasher and showed how smart & capable she was!

I don’t like it but I’m glad u guys do… it’s very 2010 lol😂not hate I love cabin fever but he is kinda bland and Ari aster and the director of nope and get out is worthy of a watch… no offense but Eli is a part of big hollyweird and I’m rooting for the underdogs…
Carver was the 1st governor but died early on and was succeeded by William Bradford (my 12th great-grandfather) who was re-elected 30 times and whose diary entry about a fight almost happening between the Puritans and Indigenous somehow turned into the "story" of Thanksgiving (it wasn't anything like what we learned growing up). So yeah, Roth can make a film without a lot of historical accuracy because our entire concept of Thanksgiving is based on nonsense. Fun film though - fine holiday fun.
Time stamps! 0:00 intro 0:05 introduction 2:32 sponser 4:05 end of sponser 4:21 the kills 27:11 the numbers 27:34 golden chainsaw 27:50 dull machete 28:11 next kill count/children of the corn.
"It's Riverdale with decapitations." So it's Riverdale 😂 My friend got to be an extra on this film and she said Eli Roth was wonderful to work with. He thanked everyone for coming out into the cold and provided them warm pad for their gloves. And bought everyone dinner. He sounds like a really nice guy!!
I like the cat scene because it shows the killer isn't doing this just because he's a psychopath. His kill plan is very deliberate, he's going after specific people. His motive is revenge, not mindless murder, and a clue who the killer us because, who has a motive to go after the people involved in the Black Friday massacre? Plus Carver's kills are so vicious and full of rage.
15:28 oh yep this is a trade school lol Lot of trade schools in Massachusetts have cosmetology classes, alongside welding classes (what I took), electrical, IT, and in some schools veterinary. Dunno if it’s just a Massachusetts thing but hey Eli was correct about the scary amount of mannequin heads. Great episode, lovely work from the team, and can’t wait for Children of The Corn!
The John Craver mask was incredibly well done, and I thought the killings were brutally creative, reminded me of both You’re Next and the scream movies.
I made it into a DeadMeat video my life is complete 😍 Also fun fact this was filmed in my Highschool, and yup that hairstyling room is a cosmetology class that my school offers!
Love that the killer murders scores of people but makes sure to feed the cat why? Cause “professionals have standards” Sidenote I forgot Patrick Dempsey was in this or as I know him; Soundwave’s human ally
"Plymouth, Massachusetts not Michigan" - As a Brit, I was kinda expecting a reference to Plymouth, England. Also I love John Carver as a killer, he's not a slow, lumbering force of nature, he comes across as just an extremely dangerous, regular human being and that arguably makes him more terrifying than even someone like Michael Myers.
when I first saw this the black friday scene caught me off guard and made me so sad. I know the deals aren’t as good anymore but I’m so glad we don’t have to have massacres like this anymore
The Black Friday scene kind of messed me up. Something about unintentional deaths, just due to carelessness or stupidity, come off as more disturbing than an actual slasher villain murdering folks.
@yorozuya_gchan my favorite part of that whole bit was "AND BRING ME A F***ING SANDWICH!" A venn diagram would be nice to see tbh and gauge how many like-minded fans there are in here
Thanksgiving surpassed Hostel as my favorite movie from his filmography, i really loved the combination of humor and gore, unfortunately he followed up this gem with the crappy awful Borderlands movie couple of months ago
7:27 if I’m going to be slightly honest, this entire black market riot scene killed me when I first watched it. The way that everybody was acting like a hoard of zombies charging against the store breaking through the glass and running around everywhere literally killed me. And all the kills during the scene were so obnoxious and absurd that I laughed.
Had the absolute joy of seeing this in theaters last year. By far one of the best movie experiences I’ve had in a very long time. I genuinely feel bad for the people who didn’t get to experience this the way my mother and I did!
I didn't, it was the year before I started watching horror movies in theaters, since then I have now seen Lisa Frankenstein, Abigail, Longlegs, Cuckoo, Alien: Romulus, Never Let Go, Terrifier 3, and Smile 2 with Abigail, Alien: Romulus, and Smile 2 being the best experiences
I remember watching The House with the clock in its walls in Theaters. It was the first time I've ever watched something in theaters. When I saw this movie, I loved it instantly. Great work James and crew! Keep up the good work and enjoy the holidays!
Finally getting around to commenting on this, and: To James' point about the film's characterization, I'd cite "Thanksgiving" as a solid contemporary object lesson in how easily a screenplay can humanize side characters without taking a detour, long way 'round the barn. All it takes is a line or two of dialogue. McCarty's the prime beneficiary of Roth and Rendell's screenwriting economy; I'd say Scuba catches a splash of that, too. (He doesn't "need" it, in the sense that he's part of the primary cast and therefore has material and screentime for making an impression on the audience; all the same, "what do I do" is such a real line, and Davenport *nails* it, speaking for teenagers from across the U.S. asking the same damn question about the mindless violence that's maddeningly intrinsic to the modern American teen's experience.)
This movie was a surprising treat. Felt like a throwback to late 90s/early 2000s slashers. I love artsy horror, but I really miss "fun" horror movies like this.
You need a good balance! A lot of those artsy flicks are very shallow, cheap imitations of the artsy classics, whilst a lot of modern attempts "fun" ones are just sadistic, mean spirited gore-fests. This film hits the sweet spot. Personally I'm waiting for a resurgence in giallo inspired flicks!
i got a lot of 80s slasher vibes from it. the love triangle was like my bloody valentine 81 and the dinner carver stages was like the end of happy birthday to me.
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 You know the artsy classics are quite literally the opposite of those 80s slashers, right? Horror exists more than 80s B-movies. Arthouse classics include The Shining, Suspiria, Hausu, Ringu, possibly Exorcist 1 and 3, Cure (1997), Pulse (2001), The Wicker Man, Hour Of The Wolf etc.
@@maxkproductionsI wouldn't put the shining in there and I don't think any of those can touch Hereditary, Beau is Afraid, Nope, they just get grace cuz they're old but u are right....I just despise 80s horror bcuz it's a lot of trash but folks act like it was a golden era....like give me It Follows over The Shining anyday
Tim Miller, the director of the first Deadpool and Terminator: Dark Fate did those reshoots and edited the movie from R rating to a watered down PG-13. No wonder how that trainwreck turned out
@DodoRibeiro-ts6po Tim Miller, the director of Deadpool and the first hard-R Terminator movie since 1991, edited a movie down to a PG-13? The hell? I know Rise of the Machines was R, but it was basically a PG-13.
12:39 I love killers who though they do kill people, still have the time to care for the victim's pets, even going so far as to pet the kitty while it's eating before they leave
@@_PuppetMaster86FYI I never said Slotherhouse was any good or that I enjoyed it I simply listed it. But yes, there are better slashers recently, I just think it’s fun to watch.
To be fair, some people do hit menopause late. It’s possible for someone to still be fertile at 60, though it would almost certainly be a higher-risk pregnancy.
Just watched this movie with my dad. Great bonding moment and excellent way to start off the holiday. Now here for the kill count! Happy thanksgiving to James, Chelsea, and all of the Dead Meat crew!
The first time I watched this movie was with a group of friends. One of them had been drinking a lot, just ate a ton of Mexican food, and is afraid of horror movies. The gore was so effective that he got sick lol

HI JAMES HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Happy Early Thanksgiving James, love your videos. Hoping to see Terrifier 3 soon.
Now i wanna see Rob Zombie make "Werewolf Women of the SS" into an actual movie! (or at least this movie to get a sequel)
Hoping not too see terrifier 3 kill court because that movie has a bad ending
this segment really made me laugh
The granddaughters screaming at their impaled grandfather is probably the most effed up kill I've seen
Fr like Eli I came here for a fun slasher and you gave me “grandpa wake up”
I almost was describing it to my mom in the car the other day but I had to stop myself bc my ten year old sister and her friend were behind me
That and the woman propped up like a turkey on the table were so disturbing. The turkey thing just felt fetishy😰
@@evabible9770not to sound whiney but I think the film would have been better without that part; it kinda kills the mood

First rule of screenwriting: The character that says "Don't trust anyone" is almost always the villain. If anyone says it to you in real life, get ready to run.
Even Randy from Scream?
What about the boyfriend in the latest scream?
And if the character says “trust anyone” or “trust some people”that makes them the anti-hero
Certainly not the first rule, but it's definitely a cliche by this point.
The thing😂😂
This movie's opening is a lesson in how to make a simple situation, like Black Friday, so intense even before all hell breaks loose. I remember being on the edge of my seat even before all the people rushed into the store.
The only other movie I can think of that executes this well in a horror context is Krampus.
Me too! I watched with my friend in theaters, and I remember being so stressed that my friend looked at me and was like "you alright there, bud?"

Very curious to see the venn diagram of Dead Meat/Venture Bros. fans.
@yorozuya_gchan my favorite part of that whole bit was "AND BRING ME A F***ING SANDWICH!"
A venn diagram would be nice to see tbh and gauge how many like-minded fans there are in here
11:24 I can't believe you didn't mention the '50% off' sign next to her body, Great dark comedy there
I'm not the biggest fan of Eli Roth as a person, but he does make entertaining movies. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite film of his right now
Thanksgiving surpassed Hostel as my favorite movie from his filmography, i really loved the combination of humor and gore, unfortunately he followed up this gem with the crappy awful Borderlands movie couple of months ago
why what he do
He's a horrible misogynistic Zionist
@@UsaxeV2he's a massive zionist I assume.
@@UsaxeV2 yh i am curious too
“Chelsea you live here with me!” 😂 probably my favorite thing you’ve said.
Oh, I don't know. My favorite is " Lucy the Cat come to do no good."
literally my favourite channel EVER. I love learning about the behind the scenes, facts and of course the motherfcking KILLLLLS
26:51 my favorite part
😂 RIP James’ enthusiasm, nabbed on Black Friday
POV every black Friday
Me yo 100 like
Me yo 100 like
I've never seen a more accurate depiction of a Black Friday store blitz, and am more thankful than ever for online shopping.
10:28 i love that scary movie reference.
Happy Thankskillin Everyone
Now don't trigger James' PTSD
Right back at ya. Happy Thankskillin.
9:33 thanks for the goofy reference. Got a huge laugh out of me.
Btw: for those who didn't get it, go watch Goofy's animated trial.
so glad someone else got that !!
@jewelswonderlandx such a funny af reference.
7:27 if I’m going to be slightly honest, this entire black market riot scene killed me when I first watched it. The way that everybody was acting like a hoard of zombies charging against the store breaking through the glass and running around everywhere literally killed me. And all the kills during the scene were so obnoxious and absurd that I laughed.
Literally killed you? Did you post your comment while you're dead?
@ dude you should know I was being sarcastic
I think the worst part about it is that people actually died while during their black Friday shopping. I'm glad it's over with
@@kyofushibibi9851 The whole thing disgusts me.
Kinda coincidental you say this seeing as one of the cast members was in a movie about Dancing and singing zombies
25:38 SORRY JESSICA, THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE NO LEFTOVERS
My favorite line
James' genuine-sounding rage during the To The Numbers bit was SO funny. "CHELSEA, YOU LIVE HERE WITH ME!"
Had the absolute joy of seeing this in theaters last year. By far one of the best movie experiences I’ve had in a very long time. I genuinely feel bad for the people who didn’t get to experience this the way my mother and I did!
I didn't, it was the year before I started watching horror movies in theaters, since then I have now seen Lisa Frankenstein, Abigail, Longlegs, Cuckoo, Alien: Romulus, Never Let Go, Terrifier 3, and Smile 2 with Abigail, Alien: Romulus, and Smile 2 being the best experiences
I love the 'couldn't have done this without you' line! Yay for subtext!
Absolutely loved this movie. Sadly already called the sheriff as the killer since he was a red herring in Scream 3.
I remember watching The House with the clock in its walls in Theaters. It was the first time I've ever watched something in theaters. When I saw this movie, I loved it instantly. Great work James and crew! Keep up the good work and enjoy the holidays!
Was that a 9/11 joke? 26:28
Yes lmao
I noticed it too!!!!
Finally getting around to commenting on this, and: To James' point about the film's characterization, I'd cite "Thanksgiving" as a solid contemporary object lesson in how easily a screenplay can humanize side characters without taking a detour, long way 'round the barn. All it takes is a line or two of dialogue. McCarty's the prime beneficiary of Roth and Rendell's screenwriting economy; I'd say Scuba catches a splash of that, too. (He doesn't "need" it, in the sense that he's part of the primary cast and therefore has material and screentime for making an impression on the audience; all the same, "what do I do" is such a real line, and Davenport *nails* it, speaking for teenagers from across the U.S. asking the same damn question about the mindless violence that's maddeningly intrinsic to the modern American teen's experience.)
This movie was a surprising treat. Felt like a throwback to late 90s/early 2000s slashers. I love artsy horror, but I really miss "fun" horror movies like this.
You need a good balance! A lot of those artsy flicks are very shallow, cheap imitations of the artsy classics, whilst a lot of modern attempts "fun" ones are just sadistic, mean spirited gore-fests. This film hits the sweet spot. Personally I'm waiting for a resurgence in giallo inspired flicks!
i got a lot of 80s slasher vibes from it. the love triangle was like my bloody valentine 81 and the dinner carver stages was like the end of happy birthday to me.
@@maxkproductionsthere arent many artsy classics, the 80s every franchise is trash after 2 or 3 movies, revisionist history goes crazy
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 You know the artsy classics are quite literally the opposite of those 80s slashers, right? Horror exists more than 80s B-movies. Arthouse classics include The Shining, Suspiria, Hausu, Ringu, possibly Exorcist 1 and 3, Cure (1997), Pulse (2001), The Wicker Man, Hour Of The Wolf etc.
@@maxkproductionsI wouldn't put the shining in there and I don't think any of those can touch Hereditary, Beau is Afraid, Nope, they just get grace cuz they're old but u are right....I just despise 80s horror bcuz it's a lot of trash but folks act like it was a golden era....like give me It Follows over The Shining anyday
9:17 WHAT THE F*CK BRO 😂
Kinda explains why he got such a brutal death
This is my personal favorite of Eli Roth's work. I'm glad he made this instead of doing the dead on arrival Borderlands reshoots
Tim Miller, the director of the first Deadpool and Terminator: Dark Fate did those reshoots and edited the movie from R rating to a watered down PG-13. No wonder how that trainwreck turned out
@DodoRibeiro-ts6po Tim Miller, the director of Deadpool and the first hard-R Terminator movie since 1991, edited a movie down to a PG-13? The hell?
I know Rise of the Machines was R, but it was basically a PG-13.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone ! 🦃 also 19:56 made me laugh out loud 😂
Happy thanksgiving
"Kill Count is Served"
The bubble pfp looks awesome
12:39 I love killers who though they do kill people, still have the time to care for the victim's pets, even going so far as to pet the kitty while it's eating before they leave
I love how every thanksgiving episode has a more comedic side to it! I still think about the thanks killing vfx you guys did when I need a laugh!
6:22 Does anyone else remember this guy from that series "Creeped Out"? he's the boy from the gaming episode, that series was so good
Oooh that's why they seemed familiar, I also love that series
Underrated show
At least Carver was nice enough to feed the good kitty ❤❤
Literally just watched this last night. By far the best slasher I’ve seen since Slotherhouse.
Cap
That's a pretty low bar for slashers (which I know there’s better released in the last three years).
@@_PuppetMaster86FYI I never said Slotherhouse was any good or that I enjoyed it I simply listed it. But yes, there are better slashers recently, I just think it’s fun to watch.
@@zackfarkhondeh6853u literally said best I seen since....meaning tht Slotherhouse would be the last best movie...like wht
@@zackfarkhondeh6853Actually, your wording indicates that Slotherhouse was the last best slasher that you watched.
Gobble Gobble everyone!! Also thank goodness James didn’t have to do another Thankskilling🥲
Luckily, there isn't one....
25:38 The fact that this line read was played as straight as a pencil should not go unnoticed. Lol.
10:19 such an unusual yet unique way to describe that face
This is Without a Doubt, Eli Roth’s Best Movie 🦃
Na I think hostel 😂
OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!
The most unrealistic part of this movie was it trying to convince me that visibly 60-year-old Gina Gershon could still get pregnant
To be fair, some people do hit menopause late. It’s possible for someone to still be fertile at 60, though it would almost certainly be a higher-risk pregnancy.
Ty Olsson is one of my favorite Supernatural Side Characters. Also, his and DJ's love story makes my heart go squish!
The guy who cut his neck on the door was 100% CGI blood.
21:47 I don't know why, but that voice suits him well 😅
I feel like John carver could’ve been scarier if we started the movie without showing him during kills and showing a carver POV or something
NGL, a slasher movie POV kill sounds totally brutal, but awesome
That's lame though. Slasher films are supposed to be flashy not scary.

Thankskilling is peak cinema
It absolutely is
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Dead Meat and the whole crew
Been waiting almost 2 years for this😭😭😭 thank u James and the dead meat team for covering this
How? The movie released last year
Same here McFly
BRO SAME!!
Just watched this movie with my dad. Great bonding moment and excellent way to start off the holiday. Now here for the kill count! Happy thanksgiving to James, Chelsea, and all of the Dead Meat crew!
8:37 TITLE CARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
For thanksgiving I'm thankful that James makes the sponsor segments very fun to watch
Wooo was waiting for this one! Such a fun movie!
The first time I watched this movie was with a group of friends. One of them had been drinking a lot, just ate a ton of Mexican food, and is afraid of horror movies. The gore was so effective that he got sick lol
this had to be one of the best slashers made in a while
I still prefer Totally Killer
26:10 Sea of Thieves mentioned let's gooooooooooooooooo ‼️‼️‼️
28:11 Children of the Corn Kill Count
HELL THE FUCK YES
I saw one of those “edits” for this movie and it made the movie look amazing. Glad I watched it tbh
IS THAT LOUIS LITT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved watching the movie with my siblings. It has us at the edge of our seat. So happy that your covering it today
22:50 cranberry sauce
One of my favorite horror movies of the last few years! Its truly so much fun
