Test audiences are killing it.
>Test audiences took issue with two scenes in “Thanksgiving.” The first depicted a cheerleader seducing her boyfriend by jumping naked on a trampoline. (In the fake trailer from 2007 which inspired the film, the character is topless. For the feature, she mostly flashes her butt.) And the second involved Roth’s centerpiece kill — a savage slow-roasting of a fully clothed woman that, before edits, culminated in chunks of her face and body melting off.
>In the end, Roth went with toned-down versions of both the cheerleading and roasting scenes — citing concerns that the other takes were not only “too misogynistic” for modern audiences but might leave movie-goers feeling “betrayed.”
>“The audience was with us burning her in the oven, but only so long as we stayed just on the edge of it,” Roth said. As for the trampoline, he added, “I’m not saying nudity can’t work or you can’t have that, but with this specific movie, people liked it less.”
>“It used to be the biggest deal when you went to see a horror film. That was where there was nudity,” Roth said. “But younger audiences just have no frame of reference for that stuff. They want it on their phone. They want it on their laptops and their iPads and on OnlyFans. They don’t really want it in a public spaces around other people.”
