"A couple of kills feature spilled entrails, a shopping cart scalping, severed body parts, and someone salted, seasoned and roasted in an industrial oven. Other than that last one, nothing gets too over-the-top outrageous, although the tone includes several other splashes of dark comedy, such as one victim being unable to swipe open her phone due to blood smearing the screen or have it recognize her mangled face, as reminders that "Thanksgiving" isn't meant to be gulped down with strict seriousness. It's more of a fast food "cheat meal" for fear fans who want something flavorful that's not necessarily nutritious." - Ian Sedensky, Culture Crypt
