Broil
Seventeen-year-old Chance Sinclair (Avery Konrad) is sent away to live with her wealthy grandfather August Sinclair (Timothy V. Murphy) after causing trouble at school. However, this was more coercion on the part of the family patriarch than a mutual agreement.. This horror film hints to a dark secret amongst the Sinclair clan. Chance’s parents are planning a coup in plot to gain control of the family & get their daughter back. They hire an awkward & savant chef (Jonathan Lipnicki) to poison the sinister & creepy August. Lipnicki & Murphy are terrific with Murphy stealing his scenes. Things heat up at the family dinner with the rest of the odd family members in attendance.. The deliberately muddied plot creates an uneasiness & some confusion as audiences try to get a grip on who are we dealing with here… vampires, demons, werewolves, or what? Look out for some twists & turns as individuals are forced to make choices they don’t want to make. Who will survive this nightmare evening?
Alien givers it 2½ “bon appetite” stars out of 4.
