It's one of the buzziest thrillers in recent memory, but where is The Menu streaming?

The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) and Nicholas Hoult (The Great) as a young couple, Margot and Tyler, who travel to a remote island to eat at a lavish fine-dining restaurant helmed by celebrity chef Julian Slowik, played by Ralph Fiennes. 

However, the experience quickly turns from culinary to creepy, and the movie spirals into a dark satire of the hyper-wealthy, like Triangle of Sadness on the big screen and The White Lotus season 2 on the small. (Fittingly, frequent Succession director Mark Mylod is behind this one.) 

So where can you watch The Menu at home? Here's everything to know.

Where is 'The Menu' streaming?

As of Sunday, September 3, The Menu is available to stream on Hulu. That means you'll need a Hulu subscription to watch the thriller at home. 

Current plans include the ad-supported plan for $7.99 per month (or $79.99 per year) or the commercial-free option for $14.99 monthly. (Editor's note: Starting Thursday, October 12, the price of this plan will increase to $17.99 monthly.) 

If Hulu isn't available in your country, you can still pull up a seat at the table to enjoy The Menu with the help of a VPN service, which changes your IP address on your computer, or smart device, allowing you to continue to keep up with your favorite movies and shows when you're away from home.

Is 'The Menu' a horror movie?

The Menu has been billed as a "black comedy horror film," which means that, yes, there will definitely be some slow-burning sinisterness mixed into its satire of high-end food culture and the way social class pervades those white-tableclothed dining rooms. 

As such, the movie is rated R for strong/disturbing violent content, language throughout and some sexual references, which likely means Fiennes' Chef Julian is serving up some terror to go with his tweezer food.
