Bland and undercooked

Director duo Coke and Krudy manages to set up a an interesting starting point, that even, lo and behold!, seems to bring some new settings and approaches to the horror genre. As "House of Spoils" progresses however, it turns into a repetitive odyssey of insecure filmmaking. Constantly failing to pack a punch and stir up any scares, the convoluted ending gives "House of Spoils" a strong flavor of early 2000s made-for-TV movies. Whatever the directors serve you, it's impossible to work out what they want to tell us. Are they satirizing pretentiousness? Some vague environmental themes? This film leaves you hungry for a horror movie that goes its lengths to actually scare you. Like craving McDonald's after dinner at an overpriced restaurant.

Not my favorite food movie

Neither horror nor thriller...

I don't want to "spoil" anything, but watching this movie isn't worth it.It was advertised as horror thriller. As aforementioned, neither horror nor thriller. The movie fails to understand what this genre is. "Scary" scenes were actually funny.What I liked about this movie is the stubbornness of the protagonist. She is the type of character I would love to see in a horror movie. And the ending was both surprising and disappointing.Unfortunately, downsides surpass the upsides. Perhaps, trying to make a horror movie about a restaurant chef was a bad idea. Such an idea could have been used in a different genre of movie.
