The teaser trailer for Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving movie is out — but if you were expecting it to be a heartwarming tale about family, football, and turkey legs, you’re sadly mistaken.
The Thanksgiving movie teaser trailer does start out with wintry music and smiling faces. But it soon reveals that a vengeful killer embodying the spirit of long-ago pilgrims is intent on ruining the festivities.

What Is the Thanksgiving Movie About?
“After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday,” reads the logline for the movie, via Sony Pictures.
Based on the trailer, Thanksgiving looks like a body horror that might actually make it difficult to keep down your Thanksgiving dinner.
“Thanksgiving is a time for appreciation. It’s a time to remember our many blessings, to celebrate with the ones we love the most, and a time for all families to be together,” Rick Hoffman’s character says in the trailer, giving a blessing to the family meal. “Let’s eat.”

Then, the mysterious killer — wearing a Guy Fawkes hat, Puritanical attire, and wielding an axe — begins his spree.
He dunks a woman into a sinkful of water before smashing her face against the frozen door of a frigid, walk-in refrigerator. Then he turns on a blood-spattering buzzsaw. And that only seems like the beginning of his horrifying plans.

Watch the full teaser trailer for Thanksgiving above, and look for it in theaters this November.
