About This Movie

ThanXgiving is one of those films that really leans into that classic slasher vibe but with a college film student twist. The atmosphere is thick—like you can almost feel the damp, chilly air of the woods they’re filming in. It plays with the whole found-footage aesthetic, which gives it a raw edge, though it doesn't entirely escape some shaky camera moments. The pacing is interesting; it builds tension slowly, making you feel the isolation of the characters before it all goes sideways. Practical effects are decent, not groundbreaking, but they add a layer of grit. The performances are mixed, as you'd expect from a bunch of amateur filmmakers, but that gives it a certain charm that I find appealing in this sub-genre.

Interesting use of found-footage style.Has a slow build that enhances tension.Notable for its practical effects in certain scenes.
