Why it’s HorroRated

The Menu is the rare horror film that uses its genre mechanics in service of something satirical. Ralph Fiennes's Chef Slowik is a monster constructed entirely from recognizable pathologies and the fine dining setting is a perfect machine for delivering the film's argument about art, audience, and authentic hunger. Anya Taylor-Joy's Margot is its moral compass. A film that's only gotten better with time.
