Board 8 > Go see The Menu (in theaters now!)

(+) Yeah! (+)

So this movie is just so creative and brilliant and just feels perfect. I had a tremendous time watching it.

It's about a group of people going to a remote island for a dining experience with a master chef, and things slowly start to turn sinister.

It is billed as horror, but it doesn't really feel as much like a horror as much as a drama with horror elements. I was blown away by just how creative, funny, and impactful this film was. I laughed out loud multiple times during it and I couldn't predict a damn thing that was going to happen. Just absolutely tremendous.

Ralph Fiennes plays the chef and he's just amazing in that role. Then Anya Taylor-Joy is the protagonist who doesn't really get or care about this dining experience at all. And Nicholas Hoult plays this obsessed weirdo foodie and he's just perfect in that role.

If you want to see a dramatic, hilarious movie that is incredibly creative and still has a profound message, check it out. It's definitely worth going out of your way to see.

I saw it on opening day and the theater was almost completely full, the way it is for big Disney movie premieres. Made the atmosphere a lot of fun. I had seen the trailer so many times so I went in a little pre-annoyed but, yeah, it was great. Much funnier than the trailers made it seem.

I was already planning to!

Yeah, my theater was packed too. People were laughing throughout it and it really made it fun too.

As someone who works in the food service industry it was truly bloody brilliant. As a purveyor of meta horror, art, and the like... it was truly bloody brilliant. I would highly recommend it!

I also saw it this week and also highly recommend it, what a blast

Sucks the Horror topic purged, I was looking for it to share my thoughts on this one. It's really neck and neck between The Menu and Smile as to what I feel the best horror film of 2022 is. Smile is definitely the more conventional horror movie, but The Menu just brings something very unique that I haven't seen before. I really loved it; the acting all around was so brilliant, just about each and every character brought something to the table.

Not really that much of a spoiler, but I did love the subtle references to Gordon Ramsay in there as well. I was gleeful when he called someone a donkey and during the whole roasting of Tyler.

Enjoyed it quite a bit, really like how early on the chefs say that they never get burned out but in the end they literally turn their burnout with customers into an all consuming fire.

Saw this one tonight and absolutely loved it.

I saw it last week and really enjoyed it.

I saw The Glass Onion (Knives Out sequel) yesterday and loved that too.

Aw man didn't even realize that

The amount of joy I felt when seeing Tyler's Bullshit.
