Released just two weeks ago, Eli Roth's Thanksgiving has already established itself as another big win for the horror genre. In addition to the film earning the best critical response of Roth's career behind the camera (CinemaBlend's Mike Reyes delivering a four-star review), its low budget has allowed it to quickly become a box office success. With all this good stuff happening, the following news shouldn't be much of a surprise: Thanksgiving 2 is now in the works.
Eli Roth announced the sequel himself on his personal Instagram account. He posted a video saying that Thanksgiving 2 is "a go" and that he and co-writer Jeff Rendell are getting set to start working on the movie's screenplay. You can watch the director express his excitement over the development in the video below:
