I'm interested in "The Menu", a new film which is billed as "black comedy horror". The horrors of rich-people food. 🙂

In interviews with the people who dreamed up the food in the film, the consensus was that the tropes of modern fine dining are so extreme that there’s little need to exaggerate them.
“The more serious you are about something that seems silly, the funnier the work gets,” said the film’s co-writer, Will Tracy, who knows something about parody, having written for “The Onion” for many years with his creative partner Seth Reiss.

The possibility of controlling every detail of a meal feeds the genius, the worship and the madness of the chef, Mr. Gelb said. “That’s both the comedy — and the horror — of the film.”
Also, review here along with review of "Fresh" which really sounds like a horror film!
