If you're a fan of a dark comedy thriller and are a foodie, you'll love The Menu, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes.
Now streaming on Disney+, the film received rave reviews from cinema-goers and now you can watch it in the comfort of your own home.
The premise of the film involves a group of chefs who are invited to an island for an exclusive restaurant experience.
Events quickly take a dark turn as the gathered guests soon discover they will die.
Watch the trailer below:
Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, and Nicholas Hoult, it has got fans talking about whether or not the film is based on a true story.
The answer is no, but there is some real-life inspiration behind the scenes.
Will Tracy is the co-writer of The Menu and he said he was inspired by his honeymoon to Norway a few years ago.
On his honeymoon he took a boat trip out to a restaurant on a private island.
His wife Tracy is “a bit claustrophobic” and she apparently began picturing all of the things that could go wrong.
He took the idea to his writing partner, Seth Reiss, and the film was made. .
The director of the film, Mark Mylod hired Michellin-starred chefs to create nine dishes for the menu in the film.
The owner and head chef at Atelier Crenn in San Francisco said: “Usually, they have prop food in film. But it doesn’t taste like anything, it doesn’t look beautiful... I said to the director I wanted to make the food as if they were eating at a restaurant.”
