Our take on The Menu

Mark Mylod's 2022 horror-comedy takes a young couple to a remote island for a night at an exclusive restaurant, where a celebrated chef has designed an elaborate tasting menu that soon reveals unsettling surprises. As each course arrives, the meticulous ritual of fine dining curdles into something far more menacing, blending sharp satire of exclusivity and pretension with mounting dread. Expect a coolly controlled tone, biting wit and a slow tightening of tension rather than gore-driven shocks. It suits viewers who enjoy darkly comic thrillers with a satirical edge and don't mind cruelty served with style. If you want conventional scares or a cozy foodie film, this deliberately isn't that.
