The Menu is one of the best horror movies of all time. The Menu is a movie about rich people who go to the restaurant “Hawthorne” with an incredible menu. The movie starts with Margot going to the restaurant with Tyler, they don’t know yet but it will soon take a dark toll. 

Music 

The music in the menu is super pretty.  At the start of the movie the music is super calm and melow but when you get deeper in the movie it starts to change to a more stressful and takes a toll on the movie. The music really has an impact on the movie, without the music the movie would not be the same, it would be less frightening it would not have that jittery affect to it. 

Scenery 

 The scenery is gorgeous, when they walk along the beach or show the animals it is absolutely stunning. The movie is in such good focus you can look at each tiny detail. The food looks so beautiful but so little. The fact that there are so many things that are happening in almost the same room is shocking. 

Dialogue

How the dialogue is presented and down is great because the characters do things and talk in such ways that make you feel empathy for some and make you hate for the rest. In the middle of the movie chef Slowik tells them “everyone is dying tonight” and in most movies when someone says nope you’re dying it does not actually happen but they took this phrase and ran with it i think that is really neat. 

Intense 

The menu is one of the most intense movies I have ever seen because of the music, scenery and  dialogue. All these points smashed together makes the movie pop out with intensity. The menu is so good at making you jittery. I thought I was going to throw up the first time I watched it. 

The Food 

Of course the menu is about food so they had Dominique Crenn design the food for the menu. To make the great photography of Slowik’s dishes they got help from David Gelb the creator of “chefs table”.  Crenn believes that dishes must tell stories or they are not dishes. The production designer, Ethan Tobman said “chef Slowik is not inspired by nature, he is haunted by nature.” 

The making

The making of the menu was a tedious process. A very big process for making the menu is the food perfect but still dark and mysterious. The acting and the dialogue is superbib and has so much emotion to the acting. How they developed these characters is super astonishing. 

How it ends 

The ending to the menu makes you go “what?” because in the movie chef Slowik states “all of us are dying tonight” and they took that phrase and stuck with it. That is super neat. The last course is also super memorable because chef Slowik makes a big meaning with the dish and the emotions going around the room are so intense and sorrowful.

Chef Slowik 

If you talk about the menu you can not, not mention chef Slowik because he is one of the most dangerous characters in this movie. Chef Slowik is played by Ralph Fiennes. Chef Slowik is obsessive over his food but Tyler’s obsession with food is the find Slowik hates. Slowik is obsessed with perfection and Tyler is obsessed with taste and is super annoying he makes you grit your teeth in anger.

Elsa 

When you first meet Elsa you might not even catch her name because she is one of those characters that is presented as a background character but closing in on her death scene she really pops out and expresses that Slowik wont get rid of her like the snap of someone’s fingers.

The Add Up 

Those were some of the characters that make a everlasting impact on the overall movie. When you add up all these factors you see how much detail every shot was and tension to the guests,staff,cooks and wildlife in this movie.
