Netflix Secretly Adds One of the Best Thrillers of the Last Few Years

If you’re craving some fresh excitement and are looking for an unseen movie, I recommend adding a newly added film to your Netflix watchlist right away. Unlike many additions to Netflix, this one might have slipped under the radar as it was not widely announced in advance. Though Netflix regularly updates its content every day, these updates are often revealed well ahead of time in their monthly newsletters. Occasionally, though, a hidden gem like this gets added without any fanfare.

Lately, there have been some unexpected additions to Netflix’s offerings. Over the weekend, they added the critically acclaimed comedy “Saturday Night.” Only a few days later, “The Menu,” a must-watch for any thriller enthusiast, became available on Netflix in the U.S.

As a passionate cinephile, I recently had the pleasure of watching “The Menu,” which graced our screens in 2022. This captivating film features the talented trio of Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, and Ralph Fiennes. Notably, this masterpiece is directed by Mark Mylod, a visionary whose recent works include episodes from the phenomenal series “Game of Thrones” and “Succession.” These shows have undeniably left their mark on modern television, delivering unparalleled excitement and intrigue.

It’s advisable to approach the movie titled “The Menu” with minimal prior knowledge, as I won’t provide many details here. Essentially, it revolves around a young couple who are about to partake in what is believed to be an extraordinary and exclusive gastronomic adventure. However, their experience turns out to be quite different from what they anticipated. Perhaps it would be best not to watch it immediately after consuming a large meal.

Now that “The Menu” is available on Netflix, the streaming platform boasts two outstanding and contemporary movies featuring Anya Taylor-Joy. Towards the end of last year, Netflix also included “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” in its collection.
