Critics Consensus

Whipping up promising ingredients and elegantly plating them, House of Spoils has the presentation down but ultimately delivers empty calories.

Jacob Oller

AV Club

The haunted restaurant horror tosses plenty into the pot, but the half-developed flavors rest uneasily on the palate.

Rated: C-

House of Spoils should mainly be recommended for bringing an unusual spectral essence to a dish you might otherwise turn down. You won’t want seconds, but it’s worth the taste test even picked for parts.

San Jose Mercury News

“House of Spoils” is a cut above most recent Blumhouse movies and is observant to the insane pressures of the restaurant biz.

Rated: 2.5/4

Hindustan Times

House of Spoils is too distracted by its own choices to make any commentary about consumer culture. The finale leaves a laughably bad aftertaste.

"There are unlimited ways to introduce fear into cinematic stories, but unfortunately House of Spoils avoids pretty much all of them"

It is exciting while it goes along, but that ending was so off-the-wall that I was left confused, frankly.

"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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

What a disappointing ending. 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.
