House of Spoils is a psychological horror film directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, starring Ariana DeBose. The movie follows an ambitious chef who inherits a restaurant with a dark history. While dealing with the pressures of running the establishment, she faces supernatural forces tied to its sinister past.
The film’s strength lies in its exploration of ambition, toxic work environments, and psychological strain, with Ariana DeBose delivering a commanding performance. Critics praised her ability to blend arrogance and fear, adding depth to her role as a chef navigating personal and paranormal challenges. However, the horror elements were criticized for their reliance on predictable jump scares and lack of innovation. The narrative attempts to draw a metaphor between cooking and witchcraft, but it often feels forced and undermines the tension.
Visually, the film creates an eerie atmosphere, and the premise is intriguing, but its uneven execution and lackluster scares left some critics disappointed. It's a mix of psychological drama and light horror that may appeal to fans of slow-burn narratives, though it doesn't fully satisfy as a chilling genre piece
