Thanksgiving

At the climax of Thanksgiving, the true identity of the killer is revealed to be Sheriff Eric Newlon, a man haunted by his past and the death of his fiancée, Amanda. Driven by grief and revenge, Eric had been secretly orchestrating the gruesome murders, disguising himself and manipulating events from behind the scenes. Despite Jessica’s suspicion that her boyfriend Bobby was responsible, it ultimately turns out that Eric was wearing a mask as the killer, and he had set a trap that led to many of his own misdeeds. He had also been pretending to be the sheriff, which explains his presence on the scene. In a shocking twist, Eric confesses that Amanda was pregnant with his child, and her death had shattered his life plans. Jessica, who had been livestreaming her findings, fights back when Eric attacks her. With Bobby’s help, she manages to escape the warehouse after a frantic struggle. In the final moments, Jessica and Bobby set a trap by blowing up the gas-filled balloon connected to a truck, which results in an explosion that presumably kills Eric. However, his body is never found, leaving his fate ambiguous. Though Jessica survives and escapes with Bobby, she is forever haunted by her trauma and the fear of another masked killer lurking in the shadows, leading to a haunting sense that her ordeal might not be entirely over. Her survival is bittersweet, as the horror has left a permanent scar on her psyche.**
