8 Movies Like The Menu To Keep You Gripped

‘The Menu’ is the horror movie that’s taken over the last few weeks as people can’t get enough of the twists and turns - and that ending that’s gotten so many people discussing all kinds of theories about what really happened. Perhaps you binged the movie, and you’re already looking for something else to sink your teeth into?

Maybe you had such a ride watching ‘The Menu’ that you’re not ready for it to be over? You’re not alone. Thankfully, the 8 movies like ‘The Menu’ to keep you gripped could be just the things to fill that dark space that’s suddenly looming over your life.

1. Would You Rather is the party game turned up to new levels

Torture in films often has no limits. Even so, ‘Would You Rather’ seems to push them to places so many have never seen. The party game turns dangerous as Iris is forced to complete the challenges in order to save her brother, with the entire thing turning into a class debate as the rich no longer have the need to compete.

2. The Last Supper combines clashing ideologies and crime

Cameron Diaz was the queen of the ‘90s, and many couldn’t wait to see her star in ‘The Last Supper.’ Just like ‘The Menu,’ the movie sees a clash of ideologies cause plenty of tension throughout, with a vibe of dread playing throughout it all. Of course, the theme of food and people losing their lives certainly helps.

3. Parasite offers viewers a ton of twists and turns along the way

There are plenty of reasons that ‘Parasite’ has won so many awards since its release in 2019. While it offers up a more complete story than ‘The Menu,’ both are filled with plenty of twists and turns that keep the viewer guessing. To top it off, the film also has themes of a class divide, adding more to the viewing pleasure that ‘The Menu’ opened up.

4. Bodies Bodies Bodies sees Pete Davidson take the lead

Looking for a slasher teamed with a whodunit? You might need ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies.’ The movie is a unique take on both genres that sees race, class, and someone’s gender all get questioned along the way. It starts with David (played by Pete Davidson) throwing a “hurricane party” in his mansion, with a bunch of 20ish-year-olds making up the rest of the cast as we try to figure out where it’s all going.

5. Boiling Point is one of the more realistic looks into a kitchen

As one of the most realistic looks into life in a kitchen, ‘Boiling Point’ mainly follows Chef Andy Jones (played by Stephen Graham) as a team navigates through the busiest night of the year. From the stress to one move costing someone their job, ‘Boiling Point’ is all the stress of ‘The Menu’ without all those dangerous meals on the menu.

6. The Hunt follows the rich hunting strangers for entertainment

If you’ve ever seen the show ‘Black Mirror,’ ‘The Hunt’ might feel a little familiar. The movie follows tales of the rich trying to hunt down people for their own entertainment, with the 12 strangers having to come together or throw others under the bus to save their own lives. Similarly to ‘The Menu,’ the movie also adds in some comedic relief to help alleviate some of the tension throughout.

7. Ready or Not adds more of a game element to the horror franchise

While Chef Slowik wasn’t playing so much of a game in ‘The Menu,’ he was playing with people’s lives. ‘Ready or Not’ takes that to a new level as Grace (played by Samara Weaving) is thrown into a fight-for-your-life situation. She must play the game to make it out the other side, but will she get through it all without taking someone’s life either? Only time will tell.

8. Cabin in the Woods is a beloved horror classic for a reason

One of the best things about ‘The Menu’ was the twists and turns that were shown throughout it all. If that’s what kept you so hooked, you might want to check out ‘Cabin in the Woods.’ While there are no dangerous meals, there are reveals and terror that have seen this movie go down as a classic for the ages - and one that shouldn’t be missed.

The movies like ‘The Menu’ to keep you gripped might have varying storylines, but they all know how to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Although there are less dangerous meals, it doesn’t make any of the villains any less dangerous than the now infamous chef.
