Is there anything better than slicing into a juicy turkey with all the trimmings alongside a plate of warm stuffing? Well, as it turns out, the only thing that can top it is a jaw-dropping horror flick centered around a masked killer targeting an entire town during the Turkey Day season. And, of course, we’re talking about Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving.
The fresh-faced horror venture, which was initially seen 2007’s Grindhouse as a parody trailer, easily became one of the most anticipated spooky flicks of the year thanks to its star-studded cast and Roth’s reputation as a horror auteur. Then again, when you craft a face-melting horror tale set around a Black Friday riot gone horribly wrong and a serial killer named “John Carver” slaughtering townspeople, the interest was pretty much always going to be there.
After the spine-tingling project captivated herds of moviegoers and gorehounds who originally flocked to cinemas in droves last month, those who prefer to avoid the fall-to-winter chill by staying in the comfort of their own homes to watch movies are surely wondering when Roth’s latest horror movie will be available on streaming.
Where to watch Thanksgiving, explained
For those who prefer to kick their feet up at home and watch a new movie from the comfort of their own couch, Thanksgiving mainly playing in theaters for weeks was undoubtedly a major disappointment. In the past, horror flicks such as Halloween Kills and Five Nights at Freddy’s released on Peacock concurrently with a theatrical release, although Thanksgiving did not follow that same path, and instead could only be watched upon its initial release by buying a movie ticket.
However, the tables officially turned back in December of 2023 when the fresh-faced horror flick was released — much to the sheer delight of the entire horror community. In December of last year, Thanksgiving received its VOD release and is still now available for online purchase. And, much like an abundance of other Sony films, it has now been confirmed that Roth’s passion project will be made available for streaming purposes on Netflix. As of today, it has been revealed that Thanksgiving will land on Netflix in the U.S. on Feb. 17. So if you needed a bloodier Valentine’s Gift for the romantic season, look no further than this blood-caked extravaganza.
