House of Spoils is a 2024 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy.

On the day of a menu tasting involving Andreas, his primary investor Toli, and restaurant critic Hiral, Chef finds her prepared foods spoiled, riddled with mold, and infested with insects.

Despite these setbacks, Chef prepares a fine dining experience, which Toli is fond of but Hiral criticizes as unadventurous, lacking "voice."

Alvin tells her that the previous owner was widely purported to be a witch, who lured women into a coven that practiced human sacrifice.

After Andreas approves of the new menu, Chef has another encounter with the spirit of the previous owner in a hidden chamber in the cellar filled with dried herbs and jarred reagents.

As diners and staff both celebrate this success, Chef has a moment of solitude and reflection, appreciating the work of her predecessor and embracing the legacy of this place.

In August 2022, Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television announced House of Spoils which is being written and directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy with Ariana DeBose, Barbie Ferreira and Arian Moayed set to star.

[6] House of Spoils premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 21, 2024, before streaming on Amazon Prime Video on October 3.

Benjamin Lee of The Guardian awarded the film three out of five stars, commending Ariana DeBose for her "vivid screen presence."

However, he was critical of the movie’s overall execution, remarking that "it works best when focusing on the challenges of opening a new restaurant, with the tension of designing a menu being far more terrifying than any malevolent spirit.

"[9] John Serba of Decider also praised Ariana DeBose's performance, noting that she imbues her character, Chef, with a "prickly sensibility" that complements her ambition.

"[10] Santanu Das of Hindustan Times commented, "[House of Spoils is] too distracted by its own choices to make any commentary about consumer culture.
