Review: Is 'House of Spoils' scary? No, chef
Briefly

"House of Spoils" presents an interesting blend of restaurant dynamics and supernatural elements, revealing how ambition can be undermined by both human failings and ghostly influence.
The film's tension derives from the chaos of opening a restaurant, where even the most talented chef faces unnerving challenges — not just from the kitchen, but also from the agenda of uninvited supernatural forces.
Ariana DeBose's performance as the chef is a standout, as her charisma and leadership skills are put to the test in an environment filled with existential threats, both culinary and otherworldly.
Despite its horror elements, "House of Spoils" primarily engages viewers through a compelling narrative around the struggles of pursuing one’s culinary dreams in a chaotic, haunted setting.
