Thanksgiving is anouther in a long line of mordern horror films where within the first 20 minutes you are rooting for the killer.

Yet again all the main characters are horrible, self obsessed stereotypes .

For me the kills could not come quick enough and sadly they didn't .

Slow pacing and totally lacking any real build up of tension.

This could have been a film that was knocked out by anyone of 100's of B-movie Directors , the fact it was made by the same guy who made Hostel and The Green Inferno shows his heart really isn't in it anymore.

Nothing new in the kills department ,nothing new in the filming and even the music is very forgettable.

Feels a lot of the time like a made for TV movie. The lighting is flat and boring ,the sets and settings have no atmosphere and the worse thing a film can have is padding. Lots of unnecessary scenes.

If you like watching films about kids on their phones this is for you.

I did not think this would be a film I would like. Kind of think it's all been done before but this is a a gem .

It's fast paced . Great blend of horror and comedy and when I say horror I mean really scary stuff.

The effects are very well done and the use of Go-pros works incredibly well . You never get bored of the mainly one person on screen and pretty much all of the time watching you are just on the edge of your seat waiting for something to jump out due to the nature of the way it's filmed .

I might be going out on a limb but I think this it the modern day version of the Evil Dead. There are things going on in the background so keep your eyes open ..

A big part of any horror film is your desire to see someone escape , to survive because you care about them or feel for them.

After 20 minutes I wanted everyone dead and as quick as possible, and I didn't really care how it was done.

This is a lacklustre remake that no one wanted .

As for the horror element , re-watch any 70's horror movie . Chances are it's better made and will actual scare you .

You know what's coming because it arrives so slowly you have a chance to make a cup of tea and get back in time so see it.

The Cenobites themselves seem embarrassed to be there, although they do look very new and shiny like they are off to some S&M club and want to look their latexy best.

You might jump a bit if you saw them in a dark alley but you won't run .
