Searchlight Pictures released Wednesday the teaser trailer for American-Argentine-British actress Anya Taylor-Joy‘s dark comedy movie “The Menu”.
The movie is centered around a couple (Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult) who travel to a coastal island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.
The footage featured Taylor-Joy and Hoult, a couple who travel to an island to eat at a highly exclusive and lavish restaurant. However, this retreat is not all that it seems as the patrons are about to discover what exactly they're getting into.
The trailer shows off the unsettling, cult-like atmosphere of the new film directed by Mark Mylod. From the unsettling theme song to Taylor Joy's very clear discomfort, it's clear from the very beginning that this is no ordinary restaurant.
The unnerving chef (Fiennes), immediately has some attendees captured under his spell, but Taylor-Joy plays the point of view of the everyman, spinning further and further into hysteria at the acts committed in front of her.
