HOUSE OF SPOILS

Director: Bridget Savage Cole, Danielle Krudy
Starring: Ariana DeBose, Barbie Ferreria, Arian Moayed, Marton Csokas, Gabriel Drake

Oscar winner Ariana DeBose trades in her dance shoes for kitchen knives in the new culinary nightmare film House of Spoils. Ariana DeBose’s character is only ever referred to as Chef, which makes sense if you know the restaurant industry. When the film opens, she works as a sous chef at a fine dining restaurant where the stakes are incredibly high.  When she decides to make the bold choice to leave her job, her boss refuses as he’s a bull and can’t have anyone going against him. She never caves and heads out to open her own kind of high end, destination dining experience at an abandoned farmhouse. Her new place is part house, part restaurant and needs a massive renovation job before it can open. Arian Moayed plays her business partner, Andres, who is quick to get the place up and running and have a tasting menu in place. It goes from bad to worse for Chef as there’s an infestation problem and the food is spoiled. As Chef digs into the place’s history, she learns of some malevolent forces at play.
