From the main director of Succession and the writer of Bugonia, the film holds an 88% Rotten Tomatoes score.

The Menu, one of JOE's favourite thriller movies of recent years, is airing on TV tonight (Saturday, 18 July).

Together, the pair board a boat to an exclusive restaurant on a private island operated by celebrity chef Julian (a fantastic Ralph Fiennes, 28 Years Later).

Produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell (Anchorman, The Other Guys), The Menu is a deliciously dark and twisty thriller that also doubles as a smart satire on several contemporary topics. These include fine dining's obsession with celebrity chefs and exclusive experiences, the link between art and commerce, and the divide between the haves and have-nots.

Also, if you're going to watch the movie tonight, we'd urge you to have a snack with it, as looking at Julian's less sinister dishes will make you hungry.

The Menu is airing on TV tonight on Channel 4 at 10.55pm. The thriller is also streaming on Disney+.
