Mark Mylod discusses whether The Menu is a horror film

  • 2 years ago
Mark Mylod says his new movie The Menu hits a "sweet spot" between various genres and isn't a straight-forward horror film.Ralph Fiennes leads the cast as a celebrity chef who has invited a selection of elite clients to his high-end island restaurant, only to serve up a uniquely sinister selection of dishes.Among the guests is snobbish foodie Tyler (Nicholas Hoult), who has brought fine dining sceptic Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) instead of the guest he had originally booked to accompany him."I don't see it as a horror film. I do see the trappings of a dark thriller as very much an important part of the triangle of the tone of the film," Mylod told Yahoo Entertainment UK.The Menu is in UK cinemas from 18 November.
