    In case y'all were wondering, the reason no one else tried to leave after Margot was because they all knew, at the end of the day, *they deserved to die.*
    If you rewatch the opening scenes of the film, you'll see each of them confessing their sins in one form or another. They were all terrible people whose actions hurt many:
    *Tyler:* Obsessed over Julian Slowik at the expense of the chefs' integrity and humanity
    *Lillian:* Ruined countless restaurants with nasty reviews
    *Ted:* Enabled Lilian's destructive behavior
    *George:* Lied and cheated in an attempt to remain famous
    *Felicity:* Embezzled money from those who hired her
    *Richard:* Molested his daughter and cheated on his wife
    *Anne:* Knew her husband Richard was a child molester and chose to remain silent
    *Bryce, Soren & Dave:* Made millions through fake invoice charges, tarnishing existing companies

    When i saw the poster, I thought it was about a food critic and his girlfriend try to oust a world class Chef for being a fraud. Then I learned it's a dark comedy horror film.

    Margo was the only one not meant to be there. She was the only one who could've possibly left

    From the original script:
    Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish.
    It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock.
    Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while j*cking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon.
    The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it.
    The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught.
    The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot calls him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone.
    Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes.
    The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards.
    Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu.
    Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room.
    Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so.
    Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging.
    Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts.
    Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match.
    The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.

    Oysters and lemon mignonette - Common flavors put together that have to be broken down and deconstructed, foreshadowing what happens to the guests. This is meant to be taken as Chef throwing down the gauntlet.
    Amuse Bouche - More foreshadowing. Charred lace - crater. Milk snow - ash from the fire. Cucumber and melon - the guests.
    The Island - Scallop on a rock - Chef presenting himself to the guests. Plants - "in the weeds"
    Breadless bread plate - straight up snarking at picky customers. But you can also make a case for Lilian's plate having a broken emulsion on purpose as his way of saying SHE'S as useless as a broken emulsion.
    Memory - Self explanatory
    The Mess - Pressurized vegetables - literal pun. Bone marrow - blood. Beef jus - sweat. Potato confit - tears.
    Man's Folly - Plum vinegar exists because of Umeboshi, whey plays a vital part in making yogurt, sea kelp and lettuce are what keeps the oceans biome from wreaking havoc. But everyone either doesn't know that or forgets, because they don't taste good, aren't as attractive, or can be very difficult to work with in their natural form. It's the same with women, especially when they try to speak out against unfair treatment like what the chef describes. They get called things like "bottom feeders", like crabs.
    Final scene with Margot/Erin eating the cheeseburger - She didn't care about giving him peace of mind. She just wanted to survive. And Chef acknowledged that.
    Using his menu as a napkin - She never believed anything he said for one second. She is, in fact, a taker that knows her worth. And that's why she lived.

    Along with this movie… 2022 was unexpected year for horror or horror element movies (Scream 2022, Hellraiser 2022, Orphan: First Kill, and probably Doctor Strange 2, but with new original movies like X & Pearl, Nope, Fresh, Smile, Bodies Bodies Bodies, the Black Phone, and Barbarian).

    In today's movie environment this movie would not do so well on the big screen. But growing up in the 70's (me) it would have done very well. As for Tyler he was a spoiled little kid who wanted " dad figure " aka Slowik to acknowledge his existence and was willing to sacrifice Margos life to get that. As for the fight scene between Margo and Elsa, she hit Elsa with a Paco jet that Tyler mention earlier in the film I just thought that was funny for some reason. Good reaction as always. By the way do you think you would ever do Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think you might like it despite each movie being about 3hrs long. Lots of action, drama, some comedy a good story and not too far from the book for a change. Yeah, I finally broke down and watched it and actually enjoyed it which surprised the heck out of me. ☺☺

      What do you mean? It did do well in today's environment. It grossed 80M on a 30M budget at the box office. Which is actually very solid for a small horror film like this, at a time where so many films are flopping this one actually didn't.

    if you think a little about the ending instead of everyone experiencing their last meal that will forever change their life, they were the last course, but the one who left experienced the last meal the "killer" would ever truly enjoy making, and it changed her life forever. He gave her the last joy of his life because she knew what made him happy and she gave that to him. So now she's changed forever for it

  • @83shadow3

    Yeah this is more of a psychological horror movie. Wich plays to more of the mental aspect of horror where it leaves you mentally getting creept out because. You are seeing mentally disturbed things like a calm antagonist or whatever. That stays calm even as they do horrible things to people thats more mentally disturbing. Because you don't know what they will do next so its more disturbing psychologically. This kid of horror is not for everyone some people like it some don't. It also does work in movie theaters if you like this kind of horror.
    So this kind of Horror is completely different from slasher horror movies. Because it actually makes you think about what you just watched. Unlike slasher horror movies with someone or something that just goes around killing people. Those movies are simple an they are straight forward no thinking is needed.
