    Someday I’m going to decorate a house like the fabulous interior of that torture mansion and see who notices.

    ★★★½

    A romp and a half. I’m really just in it for the excellent satire of the fine dining industry, and also the way that industry is typically portrayed on screen (good spoofing of Chef’s Table with the graphics and food cinematography). The guests were meh (other than Nicholas Hoult, my god) but Ralph Fiennes and his team stole the show. Side note: the food was mostly convincing, but could they not have gotten decent tortillas and a burger bun to make those dishes look half convincing as gourmet?

    ★★★★

    I’m on a vampire film kick and this one has been at the top of the list for a while. Wildly Park Chan-wook, I’d expect nothing less. Bizarrely fast pacing for the first half hour (through a lot of the good stuff, the vampire origin story) that makes you wonder how this movie could possibly be this long. Though the middle dragged in places, I couldn’t help but stay compelled by the off-kilter story of lust, then love, then together…
