While he did tell her earlier in the movie that she was going to die, I think a little bit of his humanity seeped in from one former lowly service worker in him when he worked fast food to another lowly service worker, her a prostitute. Additionally, she was never supposed to be there, every guest that was invited was carefully chosen because they had wronged him or other people in some way whereas she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time


This exactly how I see the way the ending was.

I liked the movie. Great satire. The only bump it hit was the end, for me. I wasn’t sure why they so easily played along and were even saying “we love you, chef” as if suddenly part of the cult. I also didn’t quite get why Margot decided to stop the boat and watch everything go down. The shot of the reflection of the burning cabin in her eyes made her look evil and I didn’t think that was at all the intent.

Just finished it and thought it was pretty good but definitely not something I’d be hyped to rewatch as it’s kind of slow to start. Wasn’t sure what to expect going into other then that Anya Taylor-Joy was in it and she’s become my favorite new actor or I guess newish since she’s been around since 2015

I do have this complaint. The three frat daddies should have been able to stick together and kick some kitchen staff arse.

I had that thought as well, especially when every dude ran in separate directions. Why wouldn't you team up with your buddies?

She doesn't have big eyes.. Just way too far apart from normal which make her alien like. She makes it work though

The first 30 minutes were great and hilarious. Then it just got ridiculous and totally over-the-top unrealistic.

Only watched it because of her because Queen's Gambit is one of the best things in awhile.

Had high hopes.

I mean it did show them as selfish assholes so I get it not crossing their minds.

But if I’m in a situation where I know I’m dying that night, I’ll team up with Joe Biden and/or Donald Trump (pick your enemy) to survive.

Just finished it. Was expecting more of a horror/thriller but I got to admit I laughed my arse off several times. Enjoyed it. Glad I caught for free on HBO.

Started off great, but gradually got worse! Had such a great premise and it could’ve/should’ve been so much better.

Same reason why in a horror movie a family would not fight for their life against a group of serial killers. All of the kitchen staff is armed theya re not, they resigned to die.
