Many of us have our Thanksgiving plans all lined up, but Eli Roth has some ideas of his own – for Thanksgiving, that is. If all goes as planned and his upcoming movie can scare the stuffing out of us, he hopes to keep coming home for the holidays…in a body bag.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Eli Roth said he can see Thanksgiving bringing about a whole calendar of holiday horror movies. “We didn’t really think too much beyond this movie, but as we were shooting, you start joking around going, ‘Oh yeah, we could do a movie set there, we could do this, we could do that. The Thanksgivingverse’…I mean, it’s completely up to the fans. But we had such a great time making it and the more you think about it, the more ideas you get…We were like, we don’t want to stop. It was one of those shoots.

Nell Verlaque stars in TriStar Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s ‘Thanksgiving’
Way back in 2007, when Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez teamed up for the epic shlockfest Grindhouse, they got some of their pals to produce fake, genre-perfect trailers to go along with their two features. A couple of these, Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun, have actually been made into real movies since, but the one that fans have been clamoring to be produced is Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving. Finally, more than 15 years later, Roth has given the people what they want. Thanksgiving is here.
Set in the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts, Thanksgiving opens up with a riot at a Right-Mart Black Friday sale that, as all good Black Friday sales do, begins at 6:00pm on Thanksgiving Day. Lives are lost and lawsuits are settled, and one year later, everything is back to normal.
Well, not really. Much...

With the finale on the horizon, Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 17 is a fascinating creative penultimate outing, pitting Ben's wits and confidence against the challenge of the unknown.
With Ziggy shut down, that "flying blind" adage is doubly suitable to the situation. Luckily, some strategic plot armor allows the hand links and imaging chamber to still operate without Ziggy. Otherwise, Global 349 would probably still be a crash statistic.
Taking in the big picture, a leap wherein he has to lean in on his gut instinct more is a good dry-run for the finale's leap into the future, where he will no longer be able to rely on search engines.
Ian's role in all of this has become improbably crucial compared to the quirky coding genius they were introduced as on Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 1.
Learning they were the leaper who warned Ben and urged him to leap early and without authorization...

HBO has secured another ratings hit with their new video game adaptation “The Last of Us,” and while it’s as exciting and epic as the original video game, it also has the distinction of having a Latino leading man. Chilean actor Pedro Pascal plays the protagonist Joel, who is tasked with trekking across the horrific landscape to help find a cure with young Ellie in tow.
With a Latino actor leading such a massive hit for the horror genre, it got us thinking about other great Latino Horror Heroes from pop culture. Here are five of our favorites.
Pablo Simon Bolivar – Ash vs. Evil Dead
Pablo (Ray Santiago) is an Ash fan boy when we first meet him, referring to him as “El Jefe” with admiration. When he’s pulled into the war against the Deadites, the seemingly non-threatening blue collar worker becomes a vicious foe against evil, even...

Director Jason Eisener is back with the horror/sci-fi movie Kids vs. Aliens, released in Theaters, On Demand, and Digital on January 20, 2023, from Rlje Films and Shudder.
In Kids vs. Aliens, produced by Bloody Disgusting, Cinepocalypse, and Studio71, all Gary (Dominic Mariche) wants is to make wrestling home movies with his best buds. Gary’s annoyed that his older sister Samantha (Phoebe Rex) wants to skip their wrestling fun to hang with the cool kids. When the siblings’ parents head out of town on Halloween weekend, a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night.
Eisener co-wrote the film with John Davies (Hobo with a Shotgun) and incorporated his childhood into this wild midnight movie, from hometown UFO lore to his love of Masters of the Universe toys. In many ways, Kids vs. Aliens feels like a fitting full...

"It's just one of their stupid pranks!" Here we go! From the filmmaker behind Treevenge and Hobo with a Shotgun comes Kids vs. Aliens, his latest wild and crazy indie horror flick from Canada. This premiered at Fantastic Fest, FrightFest, and Sitges this fall, opening in January. Made by filmmaker Jason Eisener - an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing two warring siblings to band together to survive the night. While it sounds similar to Attack the Block, it looks entirely different. Starring Dominic Mariche, Phoebe Rex, Calem MacDonald, Asher Grayson Percival, and Ben Tector. "Utilizing elements from Spielberg and Donner’s templates, Eisener crafts a nostalgic homage to timeless childhood favorites like The Goonies and Monster Squad, but spices them up with foul-mouthed dialogue and gallons of gore." I had a blast watching this film! Glad they included so many F-bombs in here.

Three years after making its film festival debut, the Spanish thriller Amigo is finally set to receive a theatrical release in the U.S. and Canada this Friday, December 2nd. The film stars popular creature performer Javier Botet in a rare dramatic role that didn’t require him to be hidden under a creature suit, and co-stars his comedy cohort David Pareja.
Described as a “charmingly dark” thriller and a cinematic journey along the lines of Misery and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Amigo has the following synopsis: After a violent accident, the good-natured David (Pareja) decides to accommodate and care for his best friend, Javi (Botet). But as the two of them begin arguing, the truth about their toxic, homicidal relationship bubbles to the surface – and madness soon takes hold.
Botet and Pareja wrote the script with director Óscar Martín.

This past weekend, Jason Eisener celebrated the world premiere of his latest feature film, Kids vs. Aliens, at Fantastic Fest 2022. While it’s been 11 years since the last time Eisener was in the director’s chair for a feature, that doesn’t mean the Canadian filmmaker hasn’t been plenty busy. He’s created several short films, edited and produced a handful of other projects, and has been the executive producer and director for this writer’s favorite TV docuseries, Dark Side of the Ring, for Vice TV.
While at Fantastic Fest, Daily Dead had the opportunity to catch up with Eisener to chat about Kids vs. Aliens, and during our chat, he discussed his extremely busy schedule, why the timing was right to make another feature, how Kids vs. Aliens was inspired by many of his own childhood experiences, and more.
Look for more on Kids vs. Aliens closer...
