Thanksgiving Ending & Killer Identity Explained
Thanksgiving's ending reveals the slasher movie's killer and their motive, but also sets up a potential sequel for Eli Roth's holiday horror.
In Thanksgiving’s ending, Eli Roth’s festive slasher reveals the identity of its killer, their twisted motives, and sets up the upcomign sequel. Thanksgiving began life as a fake trailer featured in directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s ambitious double feature Grindhouse. Grindhouse was intended to be an homage to the exploitation movies of the ‘70s and, to that end, the movie’s double feature of Tarantino’s Death Proof and Rodriguez’s Planet Terror was book-ended by fake movie trailers from the likes of Roth, Rodriguez, Rob Zombie, and Edgar Wright. Sixteen years later, Roth’s Thanksgiving trailer became a real movie.
