Plot of the story
The stars of the movie House of Spoils have not exposed much about their upcoming thriller as the suspense must go on. But here’s what we know about it so far:
The story stars Ariana DeBose’s character as a chef. She embarks on a journey to open a restaurant in a remote and eerie location. As usual, everything looks perfect on the outside in the beginning: the restaurant’s location is picturesque, the design is elegant, and most importantly she is living her dream in reality.
The story takes another turn when strange events begin to occur in her kitchen. DeBose gets confused and starts believing that someone is there in the kitchen who is trying to ruin her dream and is dreaming of her failure. She first gets convinced that someone from her staff is doing all the stuff. Food starts to spoil mysteriously, equipment malfunctions and eerie noises haunt the restaurant at night.
The happenings have already started taking a toll on her mental health. Moreover, she struggles to distinguish between reality and her hallucinations. She then determines herself to dig deeper into the matter. Here’s another layer of the story that gives it a new turn.
As the chef digs deeper into the history of the property, she discovers dark secrets about the place and its previous owners. Each new revelation adds another layer to the mystery, pushing her further into paranoia. The tension builds as the protagonist tries to unravel the mystery before it consumes her completely.
