12 members of the upper class travel to an island to dine at an exclusive restaurant. But things don't go how they expected.
This is a dark satirical comedy with elements of a thriller. I agree that it's not quite horror. The characters are jerks and you don't really empathize with them. This has frustrated some people, who wish that they could recognise themselves in them, and feel that what they do makes no sense for the situation. It is a bit scattershot with the social commentary, with important issues brought up that aren't really explored.
The script is the very best part of this, and the dialogue is written and delivered impeccably. The music, with its string instruments, claustrophobic cinematography, and tight editing do a great job capturing how refined this place and the food there is, whilst also gradually raising the stakes and making things more disturbing.
This features a little bloody gory violence, and a moderate amount of strong language. I recommend this to to anyone who wants to see the rich skewered. 8/10.
