Today I watched the menu and it was very very cringey and lame

K how the heck does this have such a high rating you can't be serious right, this movie is very lame. It rides on the fact that it's trying to be original but honestly it doesn't even feel that original. It just feels like truth or dare. Oh no the menu is weird and the game is real! Or like midsummer actually, oh spooky cult except with food. I'm sorry to be reductive, but this movie feints a level of sophistication that it just simply does not have.

The best part of this movie is Anya Taylor Joy's performance and some of the visuals. I laughed a couple times I think. This film is definitely trying but it just does not work at all. It's frankly very pretentious honestly.

Like dude why does the writer seem to feel like he's gotta say some deep intellectual garbage through the mouths of these extremely one dimensional nothing characters. There is so much "tell, not show" going on in the character development and many of the actors are absolutely not selling what's happening.

Hong Chau sucks a lot, she is not at all threatening. Ralph Fiennes was not intimidating for 80% of the horror movie where he is the horror movies. There's so many nothing characters it's hard to mention a single one besides the guy who played tyLer who sucked a lot.

There was a supposedly serious point in the film where one character gets injured cause he's being a bad boy and you can't take it seriously at all cuz the actor sounds like that saw video game actor that your movie sucks quotes all the time. It was very funny in the wrong ways. This movie was almost only ever funny except when it wasn't trying to be. Why the heck are these characters yelling when everyone is around them like aren't they trying to be sneaky at all for no reason.

Why don't characters do anything?? Why are they all so awful and stupid. Isn't this a good movie why didn't they use good lighting for the food is that the point...? The cinematography and lighting as a whole was very mixed. Like it felt so professionally shot for 30% of the film and the other 70% is fishbowl close ups that leaving you just begging for more. It's so lame. I loved some of these shots but jeez... what a waste of potential.

There was a scene with Anya Taylor Joy and Hong Chau near the end had a scene together and it was so horribly choreographed and shot I was laughing in my empty theater so loudly it was horribly awful. They do like a zoom up on Chau's face and it was really funny.

The ending was absolutely stupid it was so dumb. I cannot believe that it really was done in that sort of fashion, it seemed so rushed and forced I cannot believe that. I was appalled. I really cannot stand the ending of this film it reminds me of so many different films.

I cannot stand this movie, it is very bad.

Overall I have no idea why this got such high reviews, I could not stand this movie it was absolutely infuriating. The glimpses of ambition that the film maker tried for are definitely there, but it just insists it's so much deeper and more original than it is. I haven't even mentioned the lines in this film... they're so cheesy cringe, it's exhausting. "He mustn't disturb the high order of sustenance", god eye roll cringe. I hate this movie. I might lower this to a 2 maybe, it's so bad but it does have some nice shots sometimes and Anya Taylor joy tries with this awful script.

Low 3/10.
