Had to go ahead and see this again with a closer eye on the details. I will have to give Ralph top-billing over Anya because he's Ralph, for Pete's sake. The storyline seemed to grow heavier and more dreadful with each subsequent "course". As the film ground to its climatic finish I felt a distinct 'Hereditary', 'Midsommar' vibe. (I found it compelling.) I noticed in the credits that Colin Stetson did the soundtrack. Stetson did the soundtracks for 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar'.
Both the kitchen staff (slavish devotion) and customers (hopeless desolation) gave good performances. A few near "break though".
