An low budget masterpiece cannibal slasher in its own right.
Good camera work on wide 1:2.35 screen ratio and fresh new faces, with exception of the ever so radiant Linnea Quiqley.
Gore department relies more on fast changing camera angles than prosthethics, but still pretty bloody.
The story carries well through the hour and 13 minutes, there is really no need for more, wish there'd be more compact movies like this.
A novel idea to have Thanksgiving as the backdrop of a horror flick, maybe Halloween and Christmas are getting to be something of a cliche.
Looking for more to come of this crew in the future.
I'd give a 10/10, but nobody would believe I'm not affiliated with the production in any way, shape or form.

....but this is something else.
You could say the terrible acting and cheesy delivery is trying to recapture 80s low-budget horror, but this isn't just badly acted, it's almost deliberately acted in a way that feels too forced, rather than simply being bad actors. The falseness of the acting was hard for me personally to overcome.
When it comes to the characters, they're predominantly annoying, unlikeable and insufferable, so even if you could get past the bad acting, story, direction, production values and horrific script you're probably going to hate the film because of the obnoxious people in it.
It felt a bit like a student film project, which had somehow managed to get picked up and released, but how the director/writer/editor Erick Lorinc and producers managed to sit through the entire film and still think "yeah, we've got a good film here", I'll have no idea. I can't say I'm surprised that he's done nothing in the few years since as this feels like a failed experiment.
Even if you love badly-acted cheesy low-budget horrors, I think you're more likely to dislike this than enjoy it.

If you're a fan of 80's slasher movies, especially of the cheesier variety, then you will probably enjoy this! I had a lot of fun with it. Plus it's always nice to see Linnea Quigley again!
It is low budget and amateur all the way, but it obviously seemed to have the passion of the cast. Acting ability didn't seem a criteria for being in the film. It started out when the woman was making sandwiches, and added some blood to it for flavoring. One knew this was not going to be a normal movie. Some good quips, when they talked about getting "food". It started out with just one, but if the boyfriend showed up, that meant they got leftovers. And the person in the wheelchair was referred to as meals on wheels. If a family member died, family isn't food. What detracts is the apparent lack of a coherent script; many of the scenes seem to be improvised or ad lib. Sure, refining a script takes some time, but it has its rewards. On the zany side and certainly a different take on Thanksgiving. Thankfully short.
I was drunk and still could not enjoy this movie. When the chick in the polka dotted dress ran for the back door I could not help but laugh. SO if your looking for a movie to make fun of then you have a winner! Enjoy! For anyone else with half a brain, plz avoid this movie at all cost.
