Went in with no expectations

I noticed this movie on HBOMax and thought to myself that I would give it a chance. I had no expectations when starting this movie...other than I knew it was a thriller/suspense, and starred Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Feinnes. Pretty much from the moment the movie started I was hooked, the music in the background was capitulating. My eyes rarely moved off the screen for the duration of the movie. The dialogue was very well done and put together. It was smart, witty, serious, funny. It was a great movie overall and I was thoroughly entertained.

I also watched it not having any idea what it was about. I found it interesting. Very...different.

I agree 100%. Loved this movie. It was very different and held my interest from beginning to end. Ralph Fiennes did a wonderful job playing a psycho chef and his staff was frightening yet comical at the same time. And the poor diners! I felt their fear and disbelief. Anya Taylor-Joy outdid herself. The acting was great!!

I feel the same. I was literally STUCK to it. I enjoy when a horror film is like no other and to me, this does just that.
