Just finished watching House of Spoils. Ariana DeBose gives a solid performance as a driven ambitious chef trying to open a gourmet restaurant in an old house in the woods that just happens to be haunted by a witch who lived there before.
It’s an atmospheric thriller that evokes Henry James‘ The Turn of the Screw and Tim Burton‘s Sleepy Hollow.
DeBose’s kitchen is a chaotic nightmare serving some questionable dishes. After seeing some of the food served, I looked over at my wife and said: “We’re not going to this restaurant. How about if we stay home and I fix us some migas?”
However, House of Spoils does serves up some tasty scary moments.
Have a great weekend.
