Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday that gets much attention in horror. Outside of a scant few perennial favorites, like Blood Rage, Thanksgiving doesn’t seem to elicit much creativity or excitement in the genre space, even when there appears to be an appetite for it. Just ask Eli Roth, whose fans have been begging for a full-blown feature

Monolith’s Condemned series is one of those many “What happened to ‘X’?” moments in gaming. The series definitely started off strong with Condemned: Criminal Origins, with serious survival horror vibes, coupled with some unique clue-gathering and investigative elements.

First-time feature filmmakers David Charbonier and Justin Powell plunge straight
