Fake Grindhouse trailer:
Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving slasher film is based on his fake trailer featured in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 cult movie Grindhouse.
The 2007 trailer teased the killing spree of a serial slasher known as “The Pilgrim” on the fourth Thursday in November. Roth even cameoed as a guy who literally lost his head while having sex in a convertible.
