Searchlight Pictures has released an unsettling teaser trailer for an upcoming culinary horror thriller titled The Menu. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult as a couple who travels to a coastal island getaway to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.
The movie is described as “a darkly comedic psychological thriller set in the world of eccentric culinary culture, centering on a young couple who visit an exclusive restaurant on a remote island where an acclaimed chef has prepared a lavish tasting menu.” Then mysterious and bad things start to happen to the guests.
The movie was directed by Mark Mylod (Ali G Indahouse, The Big White, and What’s Your Number), and it was written by Will Tracy and Seth Reiss. The rest of the cast includes John Leguizamo, Judith Light, and Hong Chau.
This looks like a great film that will tell a fascinating and horrific story. I’m looking forward to seeing how that story plays out.
The Menu will be released in select US theaters on November 18th, 2022.
