Anya is now preparing for the release of her new horror film, The Menu

Directed by Mark Mylod, The Menu follows an affluent couple who travel to a remove couple to enjoy a lavish private dining experience created by an eccentric yet celebrated chef, played by Ralph Fiennes

As the courses are served, the diners slowly discover that the kitchen staff actually have a more insidious purpose for putting on the event.

‘I’m fascinated by the idea of extreme privilege and how it perverts humanity,’ Mylod told Empire of his new film.

‘So while the film is comedic, there are thriller and horror elements, too. I like things you can’t easily put into one box.’
