The official trailer for Eli Roth's holiday horror Thanksgiving is here, and it is leaning as hard as it possibly can into the theme.

Expanding on Roth's mock trailer featured in Grindhouse, Thanksgiving is set in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the community is trying to reignite the holiday spirit in the wake of a tragic Black Friday riot. However, it seems not everyone is ready to move on, with a mysterious killer taking out residents using Thanksgiving-themed methods. Though they appear to be motivated by revenge, it soon becomes clear that the murders are part of a larger plan.

The film's cast includes Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Milo Manheim, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Nell Verlaque, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Gershon.

Thanksgiving arrives in theatres on Nov. 17.
