Thanksgiving in April

[Duane Swierczynski]

As if I needed any more reason to want to see Grindhouse as soon as humanly possible... here's comes this twisted little bit o' sickness from Eli Roth, the creator of such life-affirming movies as Cabin Fever and Hostel. It's a faux trailer for a slasher flick called Thanksgiving, and if you were alive during the late 1970s/early 1980s run of holiday-themed horror movies (kick-started by John Carpenter's Halloween), you'll realize how fucking pitch perfect this is.

A couple of caveats: It's pretty gory, and there is sexual content, so don't go watching it with your toddler perched on your lap. And I recommend downloading the whole thing and watching it in Quicktime, because you're going to want to watch it again, right away. Specifically, for a little surprise where you'll be like, I did not just see that, but in fact, a repeat viewing will confirm that yes, yes you did.

Oh my gentle Jesus I cannot wait to see this movie. Or, movies. Whatever.

I've become convinced that Tarantino and Rodriguez shouldn't bother making movies without the other's collaboration ever again. As good as those guys are by themselves, they're unstoppable when they tag team a project.
