On the surface, Mark Mylod’s thriller The Menu looks like a chilly, high-end horror movie. The trailer shapes it as the story of a successful chef who baits a trap for his rich, spoiled patrons, drawing them into an unpredictable life-or-death game where he and his devoted followers define all the rules. Bloody mayhem follows. But Mylod sees the film differently — and his interpretation ties directly into what drew him not just to this film, but to his other most high-profile work, as a regular director on the hit TV series Succession and Game of Thrones.
