2. General Information about the film 

1. Thanksgiving (2023) is derived from the U.S. holiday, Thanksgiving, it’s very fitting for the motion picture, as it properly depicts the rave over Black Friday, reminding us of what the “sale day” amounts to. 

1. 4. Year of release: 2023 

   5. Cost of Production: $15 million 

   6. Box Office: $45.6 million 

   7. Available in Theaters, Streaming Platforms including Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV, Blu-ray and DVD. 

   
   

Thanksgiving (2023) will be assessed based on film-case studying. The movie was generally favorable, scoring a Metacritic score of 63. Some feel that the movie gets caught between competing impulses, with the intent to satirize society with an attempt of being a “classic campy slasher.” On the other hand, others feel that the movie paid homage to Grindhouse (2007) as a parody of the exploitation during the new concept. The opening engages its target audience through means of cause and effect, a compelling visual image highlighting the events; as chaos takes place in the Right-Mart superstore, over a free waffle iron deal provided to the first 100 customers, the individuals that snuck in earlier are to blame, just immaculate purity! 

 

The result — although highly anticipated, finally arriving in theaters 16 years after it first entered the imaginations of horror fans everywhere. 

 

Research 1: Genre, Target Audience and Production Companies

 Introduction:

My film genre is Thriller, and I chose it as my go-to genre because I want to evoke feelings of unease. Thrillers have the power to keep you on the edge of your seat, heart racing and mind guessing. Overall, the general tension that’s created and the unexpected endings really fascinate me, and I want my audience to experience that. Horror and Mystery will be incorporated as subgenres into the film’s narrative as it enhance the viewer’s experience into the plot development and engages curiosity. Millennials and Gen Z are my adolescent-aimed target audience; young adults, starting with mature teenagers, as they are less intellectually demanding and are more drawn to graphic tension around the storyline. For audiences younger than this, the prevalent themes of violence and mature subject matters may not be suitable. 

2. Genre 

1. Film genre: Thriller 

2. Subgenre(s)- mystery and horror

8. Accessibility to film genre 

• The desired target audience tends to watch movies in cinemas and on streaming platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. 

•  Households making $60,000 or less in income fit into the middle-lower socio-economic status. 

• Film openings that are either fan-based driven or feature prominent or rising actors and actresses are generally preferred from the vox-pop; the
  targeted audience. 

Reflection:

In this movie research me and my partner along with our production company agreed to used the new thriller movie " Thanksgiving". Its a thriller horror movie where in a small town someone with an old pilgram mask is going around killing people and they have to figure out who it os before thanksgiving dinner. Its has the same genre as our movie " subterfuge" .
