Who’s hungry for a nightmare? Today, Prime Video released the first trailer for their upcoming Blumhouse horrorHouse of Spoils, which is set to have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest later this month on September 21 before premiering on Prime Video on October 3. Written and directed byBridget Savage ColeandDanielle Krudy(Blow the Man Down), the movie starsAriana DeBose,Arian Moayed,andBarbie Ferreira.
The trailer followsDeBose’s Chef, who works in the kitchen in an upscale restaurant, but dreams of running her own place. That dream is on the verge of coming true, as she and her business partner (played by Moayed) acquire an old house in the countryside for their fine dining establishment, andeverything is underwayfor a successful new enterprise. However, local legend tells of an old witch that used to live in the house, whose garden may not be the safest to eat from. Sure enough, strange things begin to happen to Chef, as she experiences visions and sights that would haunt any chef — bugs in the food and in the kitchen, mold on the freshly made bread. Really, haunting to anyone that likes food in any capacity.
The official logline from Blumhouse promises even more strange goings-on as they drive towards opening day, reading:
