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.
