What is the film about? 

The film centres on an affluent couple who want to sample one of chef Julian Slowik’s beautiful culinary creations at his rundown seaside restaurant. But what starts as a romantic dinner quickly takes a disturbing and surreal turn when the menu becomes the basis for a devious, provocative art project and their dinner begins to look more like something out of The Exorcist than a meal. With echoes of Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Return, Searchlight Pictures and Mark Mylod’s “unusual” horror thriller gives us an unsettling look into the inner workings of an upscale kitchen, where decadent events take on a decidedly nightmarish dimension. The Menu promises to be a look at how far people will go to eat something and how far they’ll go to get out.
