10 Best New Horror Movies For Halloween 2022
2. The Menu
If you thought Fresh was the only food-oriented horror out this year, guess again. In The Menu, Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) invites a bunch of food-lovers to his remote island, enticing them with a unique dish they will never forget.
Because Slowik is hailed as a visionary, his guests think they've been offered a golden opportunity. But after noticing bizarre activities on the island, they believe their host has more sinister intentions.
Contrary to how the premise sounds, The Menu never goes in the direction you expect. Instead of fully committing to the horror, Mark Mylod's film doesn't fit in any one category, making it completely unpredictable.
As can be expected, Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult, John Leguizamo, and Anya-Taylor Joy are all on top-form. Throughout the movie, our ensemble showcases their ability to switch from comedy to drama in a heartbeat.
Even though The Menu is surprisingly funny, it's still very frightening. In fact, the comedy works in the movie's favour since you'll be laughing so hard at certain performances, you'll be sideswiped when the horror is suddenly implemented.
Not only is The Menu guaranteed to leave you shaken, it's sure to turn you off your food for a while.
