A fun send up on class that plays more like a black comedic drama or thriller than a horror film, and when it commits so hard to its concept, I don't mind. Fiennes sell the conceit with disdain for all of these people and himself for assimilating into their world. Hoult is pitch perfect as a smug sycophantic rich foodie, desperate for approval and devoid of any artistry or character. And Taylor-Joy anchors the film as a solid Final Girl. The cost of assimilation is that you'll never truly be one of them, where you came from is always in your soul. And you'll long for it.
