201980 min5.9 / 10

A darkly twisted holiday horror film that weaponizes Thanksgiving tradition and family obligation against a privileged household, trapping them with murderous reenactors who refuse to break character.

In an attempt to remind her family of their privilege and help them bond, Ms. Anna Barker invites Pilgrim reenactors to stay with them over Thanksgiving. When the “actors” refuse to break character, the Barker family learns that there is such a thing as too much gratitude.
