The last Thanksgiving is a horror and slasher film set on Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving in November of 1997, A horrifying and tragic event rocked the small town of Hillview Illinois. One family was brutally attacked by an unknown Assailant. The media quickly dubbed it “the Thanksgiving day massacre” and the truth about the events of the night have been hidden and sealed to the public, until now. This projects is a culmination of our love for horror films and our love for filmmaking. We’ll be teaming up with the Ohio and Kentucky film communities as this is where we plan to shoot.
It was important from the start to make this unique and interesting but also paying homage to the classics that have come before us in the 70s 80s and even 90s.
