House of Spoils
An ambitious chef opens a restaurant on a remote estate where she battles kitchen chaos, crushing self doubts… and a haunting presence who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.
Critics Sentiment
Chef abandons prestigious position under Marcello for remote restaurant
Chef abandons exotic menu leading to catastrophic friends and family event
The film drops significantly during the soft opening disaster sequence before recovering somewhat with the final bonfire feast.
House of Spoils starts with moderate promise as a culinary drama but consistently disappoints as it attempts to blend horror elements. Critics consistently praised DeBose's performance and the kitchen tension while lamenting the ineffective supernatural elements and anticlimactic resolution. The film works best as restaurant drama but fails as horror, leaving audiences feeling served a half-baked dish.
