D P I found this interesting. I liked it for the most part. I just didn't care for the ending very much. The magical meal at the end would realistically take days to prepare, with the ingredients and the setup for that many people? Not so quick. So that was too much fantasy for this universe that we're in. I know the former chef was haunted, but being magically able to prepare a meal for a throng of people with no prep with the snap of a finger? It doesn't fit.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review SkyRo P "House of Spoils," a 2024 film featuring Ariana DeBose, caught me off guard—I wasn’t even aware it was coming out until I stumbled upon it in the 2024 release schedule. The story follows a chef haunted by a malevolent spirit at the site of her new restaurant. This ghost demands that she use certain ingredients—natural ones for which she was previously banished. If the chef fails to comply, she experiences terrifying visions, believing her food is infested with bugs or spoiled. The premise is undeniably creepy. While the film attempts to offer some intriguing elements, it ultimately falls short in terms of entertainment value. There were numerous directions the plot could have taken, but it seems the filmmakers opted for a singular path and stuck with it, which led to a somewhat disappointing experience. Ariana DeBose delivers a commendable performance as a woman unraveling under the pressure, doing what she can with the material at hand. I appreciated "House of Spoils" for what it aimed to achieve, but it’s one of those movies I likely won’t revisit. It simply didn’t captivate me enough to warrant multiple viewings.

The movie actually had an interesting theme and was building good momentum until the scene where the chef crawls through the tunnel and comes upon a corpse. From that point on, the storyline and the script becomes LAME.
