Fans get excited after 'Thanksgiving' teaser release
'Thanksgiving' is eagerly awaited to hit theaters in the United States on November 17 of this year. Produced by Spyglass Media Group and distributed by TriStar Pictures, the film is an adaptation of Eli Roth's parody trailer of the same name, originally featured in Grindhouse (2007).
The story revolves around a deranged individual who transforms the inhabitants of a Massachusetts town into a nightmarish Thanksgiving feast.
On Youtube, the teaser was uploaded by Sony Pictures Entertainment, and in 12 hours it got more than one million views, along with several comments.
A user wrote, "CANT BELIEVE ITS FINALLY HAPPENING AFTER 15 YEARSSS." A second user wrote, "I'm so happy we had a horror movie at least once a month all this year."
A third user wrote, "Eli Roth is finally fully back!!! So hyped up! missed his splatter darkly absurdly comedic horror movies!" A fourth user wrote, "Considering how Thanksgiving actually started this movie actually makes sense!"

What is 'Thanksgiving' movie about?
The official 'Thanksgiving' plot summary from IMDb reads, "After a Black Friday riot ends tragically, a mysterious holiday-themed killer terrorises Plymouth, Massachusetts—the city that gave birth to the infamous holiday."
Additionally, Cream Productions and Ethereal Visage Productions collaborated on the production, while Sony Pictures bought the rights for the film's international theatrical release.
The first 'Thanksgiving' poster featured a mask-wearing person who was drenched in blood. The mysterious figure is wearing a hat with a golden adornment like a buckle.
The figure is depicted wielding a bloodied golden axe, which produces an ominous black and gold motif with blood splatters, to suggest the theme of the horror genre.
'Thanksgiving' is the boldly displayed title of the film, with the letter "K" metaphorically suggesting a knife. This gives a hint to the gory scenes spectators might anticipate in the movie, when the crazy killer might use an axe and a knife.
In addition, the movie poster features the statement "There will be no leftovers," which is displayed in white.
