Movies like Thanksgiving, ranked

1. The Priest: Thanksgiving Massacre (2025)

This isolated cabin massacre shares Thanksgiving's obsession with how holiday trauma warps a killer's identity, building dread through a community's dark secrets rather than jump scares.

2. Halloween Kills (2021)

This slasher channels the same relentless masked killer stalking a small town while residents band together to stop him, with Blumhouse's signature blend of practical gore and community-under-siege tension.

3. Halloween (2018)

Eli Roth's kinetic slasher energy carries over in this Michael Myers origin story that weaponizes a holiday's commercial excess into genuine dread, with a masked killer whose ritualistic brutality stems from a town's collective trauma.

4. The Town (2010)

A masked avenger exacting ritualistic revenge against a community's collective guilt drives both the mystery and moral ambiguity that makes each kill feel personal rather than random.

5. Slender Man (2018)

The masked killer methodically stalking a tight-knit Massachusetts community creates the same claustrophobic dread and whodunit structure, with young protagonists racing to identify their hunter before the next body falls.

6. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)

Eli Roth's surgical pacing and masked killer mythology mirror this film's relentless pursuit of a town's darkest secrets through seasonal holiday violence and generational trauma.
