Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult pay the price for the culinary experience of a lifetime in their new thriller, "The Menu." The film, produced by Searchlight Pictures, stars Hoult and Taylor-Joy as Tyler and Margot, a young couple who visit a remote island for the opportunity to eat at Hawthorne, an exclusive restaurant headed by celebrity Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes).

What begins as a night of culinary exploration planned by one of the most renowned chefs in the world slowly dissolves into a nightmarish series of mind games intended to give the diners a fully immersive dining experience. "The game is trying to guess what the overarching theme of the entire meal is going to be," Tyler says in the trailer released on Aug. 10. "You won't know till the end."

Man Overboard

Starring Matthew Kaminsky, Mel Fair, Floyd Van Buskirk, and Jeffry Stein

Directed by Oliver Robins

Not Rated

Man Overboard is a comedy seemingly about a lot of things – family, business, money, friends, and questioning all of them – but ultimately, when you step away from the film, it’s one idea that sticks with you: There’s a reward in doing the right thing when the wrong thing might be the easier option.
