Hard to murder rich people out of a food truck. A remote island restaurant however…. 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

I understand the chef’s desires and motives in this movie. I don’t understand how he recruited so many like-minded people.. -ok I kind of understand that too a little.
But maybe more than most movies I was willing to suspend my suspicion of disbelief for this one. I was pulling for the bad guys for this entire movie. My gf didn’t even understand half of what I was cackling about.
I’m glad the girl got her burger and we demonstrated some semblance of morality but I couldn’t wait to burn the building down. Spoiler, called that one. We all dream of it.
I fucking love this movie.

A real drama queen would quit, open a food truck, be wildly successful with low overhead and time to spend with his family, and then give in to his ego and need to have the prestige of a restaurant again for his own vanity.
Some movies last five minutes too long.

His reaction was strong, but one can’t help but see his point.

Because he’s a metaphor for a very real and pervasive culture in kitchens from the hyper-hoy-paloy to pubs built in basements from the 1800s and interpreting him in the context of a literal individual in an irl-esque context is antithetical?

This movie easily became my favourite horror movie when I saw it & every rewatch reinforces that. I, like another commenter in this thread, went in blind & came out overjoyed. It was the opposite of the “wtf, why was I bait & switched?” feeling I had after watching Shymalan’s shit offering, Trap.
Big everyone is the asshole energy (except Margot), skewering of bullshit cult following, grisly blade stuff, entitled rich boy getting his nose rubbed in it. I laughed & grimaced in equal measure.
Off topic, but another restaurant-cebtric horror I enjoyed was House of Spoils. Different vibe than The Menu, but still a great watch.

it’s like he didn’t even TRY to have sex with Scarlett Johansen and get back with his ex-wife Sofia Vergara while running a food truck across the country with his son and bestie.

His food catered to the very people he despised and yet felt empathy for a fucking cheeseburger? Ah yes, we just happen to have American cheese on this island of overly metaphorical food.

There are points beyond which a reasonable solution is no longer on the menu.
Slowik was always a snapped twig. His call to violence was tempered by his love of cooking. Until a scratch became an etch became a groove became a fissure became inescapable.
He even explained it, the one time he tried to take a day, LEGUIZAMO!

I absolutely love the film, and it has so many “if you’ve worked a kitchen, you know” moments.
But the food truck though has me busting my pants laughing my fucking ass off. Like you know what? Fucking yeah, that probably would have solved so many of that mans problems.
This could have been a ten minute short about how to fuck off and just be happy.

Worked at a 2 michelin star restaurant with my bestfriend in the middle of nowhere, between the dunes on the beach. It was giving major The Menu vibes. The people, the shifts, the crew all of it

This is one of my favorite movies of all time and I still don’t know how he did it. Really takes me out of the movie. BUT, I’m a huge wrestling fan, so I can suspend disbelief for a good show. 😂

Because it wouldn’t be as dramatic as what we got

the movie name is The Menu, for anyone wondering. I had to Google it since I haven’t watched it before, and will watch it soon

I get it man. Quitting and opening a food truck sounds easy on paper but anyone who’s done time in a kitchen knows sometimes it ain’t just the job it’s the people, the pressure the ego. He wasn’t just tired of cooking he was tired of who he was cooking for. I’ve seen folks snap like that just usually without the murder part lmao

Murdering guests is a calling, its not just a profession.
