The Best Slasher Movie of 2023 Just Returned to Streaming on Hulu

by

As Halloween approaches in a few weeks, Hulu is gearing up for some spine-tingling movie nights by revamping its collection. Over the course of August 2025, the Disney-owned streamer has been making updates to its library, and they’ve recently added one of the best slasher movies in recent years. Slasher films peaked in popularity during the 1980s, but the genre has seen a comeback in the 2020s. Renowned franchises such as “Scream” and “Halloween” have returned with impressive box office results, while newcomers like “Terrifier” and “In a Violent Nature” have infused fresh energy into the genre. One of the best slasher films to date was released in 2023, and now you can stream it on Hulu.

Following your viewing experience with August’s chilling additions like “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” and “Ready Or Not”, Hulu subscribers might want to consider adding the newly streaming film, “Thanksgiving,” to their watchlists. Released by Eli Roth in 2023, this slasher movie began streaming on Hulu on August 17th, 2025. The duration it will be accessible on the platform remains uncertain. Predicated on a 2007 “Grindhouse” trailer, “Thanksgiving” is set in Plymouth, Massachusetts – the town where the holiday originated. A full year after a Black Friday riot turned tragic, the story unfolds with a masked killer, resembling John Carver, stalking the town and eliminating victims in a string of vengeful killings. The film boasts an impressive cast including Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Milo Manheim, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Nell Verlaque, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Gershon.

Why You Should Watch Thanksgiving

The movie titled “Thanksgiving” was both critically acclaimed and financially prosperous. It debuted in cinemas on November 17, 2023, earning over $46 million, despite a production budget of only $15 million. Although it didn’t quite reach the heights set by other horror films from that year, it still ranks among the most financially successful spinoffs of the original “Grindhouse” film. The movie received positive reviews both from critics and audiences, with an 84% approval rating from critics and a 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes – impressive numbers for a horror movie. Given its success, a sequel to “Thanksgiving” has been commissioned, making now the ideal moment to reacquaint yourself with the original film.

The film Thanksgiving was widely appreciated due to its thrilling slasher genre, being one of the rare horror productions centered around a holiday. The movie’s turbulent, energetic opening scene establishes the overall atmosphere, which is marked by inventive and grisly killings. Although Thanksgiving may not be the scariest slasher film, its intriguing whodunit plotline, coupled with its comedic aspects, makes it an exciting and indelible viewing experience that’s effortlessly rewatchable.
