The film is Roth’s, and so expect a silly premise, comic-book violence, and gory set pieces. What you might not expect is the humour. Thanksgiving is funny.
Roth thinks in hooks and punchlines, which keeps the copious slayings inventive and gratifying while also enlivening the connective tissue between them.

I liked it alot as a Eli Roth and slasher fan. If you like late 90s/early 2000s horror flicks than this is for you. Witty humor with some better than expected kills. LA elitism and post modern jargon that destroys most new films was only midly annoying and did not take away from the film.
Report
Roth and Rendell find the perfect balance of humor and horror, understanding the absurdity of their premise while still making their characters buy into the world. What that creates is a film embracing its own silliness, free of irony, while avoiding the pitfalls of oversentimentality.
[Roth] knows his stuff and he’s very adept at serving up both gross-outs and real leap-from-your-seat moments.
I’d place Thanksgiving halfway between “fair” and “good.” Inevitably, Roth can’t keep his baser storytelling and filmmaking instincts at bay forever.
The Cult of Roth will almost certainly eat this holiday horror feast up. But this turkey is never more than a mixed bag, and as the laughs peter out and the “clues” are contrived to fit the finale, “Thanksgiving” takes that tryptophan turn towards nodding off, the curse of Turkey Day since that first Thanksgiving — in Virginia.
It’s as scary as a pumpkin pie left in the oven too long. Instead of horror, it’s pretty funny.
Todos os clichês possíveis de filmes terror slasher estão aqui, e isso não é uma coisa ruim pois é muito bem executado. Tem toques de comédia bem colocados. Muito violento e bastante sangue. A condução entre vítimas e suspeitos dá leves pistas do assassino não deixando óbvio.

I enjoyed this movie. It started off phenomenal and I had tears of laughter running down my face, but it kind of petered out from there. A lot of missed opportunities and maybe 10-15 minutes longer than it needed to be. I’d recommend watching at home with friends and some drinks where you can talk and laugh about it.

Pretty horrendous. I mean, so much wrong with it, I could write an essay on it. But to keep it short, and save any poor **** from getting drawn in by the decent score it has right now-- this movie is garbage.
Characters ****, the characters don't have a brain, there's no logic, there's so much pointless **** in the movie, the whole theater was laughing at how stupid the movie was at some points, the villain made no sense, they had no coherent clues, honestly, i wouldnt be surprised if the directors had no **** clue who the murderer was when they were done filming, so they rolled a dice and went with whoever came up. i mean seriously garbage. And some more points, the effects were horrible, the only reason this is even considered horror is because they have a jumpscare every 10 minutes, and they had absurd kills.
It's not a zero because there was some entertainment factor, from how stupid some of it was, and how the film was somewhat visually appealing.
Long story short, it's garbage, don't waste your time, nor your cash, the 20 bucks I forked over for this is 20 dollars more than this movie should have made.

Waste of time, another testament to how Hollywood are running out of ideas. If u want to save urself some time, rewatch “Grindhouse” there is a 5 min short that sums the whole movie up
