In their latest thriller, "The Menu," Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult pay the price for the culinary experience of a lifetime. Tyler and Margot, a young couple who visit a remote island for the opportunity to dine at Hawthorne, a celebrity chef led by celebrity Chef Slowik, are the film, produced by Searchlight Pictures. What started off as a night of culinary discovery by one of the world's most popular chefs slowly fades into a nightmarish series of mind games aimed at giving the diners a fully immersive dining experience. In the trailer, Tyler says, "The game is trying to guess what the overarching theme of the entire meal is going to be." The evening is a chance for Tyler, a foodie, to indulge his palate. It's a mystery waiting to be answered for Margot, who reluctantly follows along, if she makes it to the final course.
