Updated On: 18 November, 2022 01:44 PM IST | Mumbai | Johnson Thomas

This is the kind of film that could put you off your food for years but then fans of horror thrillers might just go the opposite way and gorge their ways to satisfaction. It’s original no doubt, has the makings of technically top grade cinema but it’s also in terribly bad taste

Still from The Menu

Film: The Menu

Director: Mark Mylod
Rating: 3/5
Runtime: 106 mins

If you are looking for one-of-a-kind gourmet food presented in the form of exquisite culinary art, worth dying for, it’s on ‘The Menu’ here. This film starts off as a satire – a sort of black comedy before it veers off into thriller-horror mode. Mark Mylod’s film is an attention grabber but it may not be to everyone’s taste and may not have the right ingredients to satisfy deep-seated hunger for an orgasmic gourmet experience – unless you are a fan of the horror genre. So unless you have a fortified iron-clad stomach and wouldn’t mind accessorizing your food with macabre fetishes involving human blood and gore, you are most likely to be vomiting beside the aisle. That’s how impactful this film could be to your senses.

A rich foodie Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) takes his new girlfriend Margot (Anya-Taylor Joy) on an invitation-only trip to a world-famous, secluded island restaurant named Hawthorne - ultra-exclusive and pricey. Besides the couple, there are 10 other guests taking the exclusive ride.
