The Menu (2022) Review | Horror Movies Showing In Cinemas




Sizzling social satire garnished with a deliciously dark performance from Ralph Fiennes makes The Menu (2022) a disquieting dish to savor.


Visually ostentatious and lavishly prepared, The Menu (2022) exudes high societal status. But instead of basking in avarice and excess, it force-feeds viewers a searing social commentary - flame-grilled for maximum menace.


Part black comedy part social satire, The Menu (2022) cooks its main course from a fairly rudimentary recipe. Nonetheless, Mark Mylod's gritty British horror serves up a suspenseful watch filled with compelling performances.


The Star of the show is undoubtedly Fiennes, who once again rediscovers fine villainous form, while convincing turns from Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy offer plenty to chew over.


Spiraling into an unhinged assault on gratuitous wealth, The Menu (2022) cleverly blends societal observation with political critique and at least a few champagne-scares guaranteed to instill worthwhile shivers.


Tough to digest at times, The Menu (2022) provides a thought-provoking portal into the lavish lifestyles of the rich and famous, serving up one or two shock surprises along the way.


That concludes our chilling horror movie review of The Menu (2022). In the mood to feast on more frightening horror? Why not sample Soft & Quiet (2022)? Or alternatively, devour our grizzly gothic horror top-picks.
