🦃 A Holiday You’ll Never Forget
Just when you thought it was safe to carve the turkey again, Eli Roth returns with a vengeance in Thanksgiving 2: Blood Harvest. Picking up where the original slasher left off, the sequel dives deeper into folklore, trauma, and ritualistic terror. Horror fans, brace yourselves — this one’s bloodier, darker, and more twisted than ever.
🧠 The Story: One Year Later, the Nightmare Returns
A year has passed since the Plymouth Thanksgiving massacre. Clara Myers (Jenna Ortega), one of the few survivors, is trying to rebuild her life. Seeking peace, she moves to a rural town known for its old-school harvest traditions. But peace is the last thing she finds.
When locals start disappearing during the Harvest Moon Festival, Clara suspects the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er known as “The Pilgrim” has returned — or perhaps, never left. Alongside a mysterious drifter named Elias Graves (Bill Skarsgård), Clara uncovers dark secrets buried deep in the town’s history… and in herself.
