Streaming giant Netflix has come under fire from viewers who watched a grotesque thriller that left them stunned as well as sickened by the surprising scenes near the end

Viewers who tuned into Netflix’s German drama, Delicious have been left “thoroughly let down” as they continue to express their utter disappointment.

The film, which landed on the streaming platform earlier this month, centers on a wealthy German couple—Esther, John, and their children, Philipp and Alba—enjoying a vacation at their villa in France. But their peaceful getaway quickly takes a dark turn when they accidentally hit a woman named Teodora while driving home from a nearby hotel.

Instead of doing the right thing by taking her to the hospital, they offer Teodora money to settle the matter, believing her injury is minor—a simple cut on her arm. However, the next day, Teodora shows up at their villa, claiming she lost her job because of the injury and asking if she can work as their housekeeper.

Right from the beginning, viewers will grow suspicious as they know Teodora is hiding something due to the fact that her friend inflicted the injury on her before the supposed accident. But as things continue to progress, they will be wondering what Teodora’s intentions are.

Teodora quickly begins to unravel the seemingly perfect life of Esther and John, exposing frustrations and the tensions in their marriage. She persuades Esther to have an affair with her acquaintance, Lucien, while John is already engaged in an affair with family friend Cora.

In addition to this, Teodora drives a wedge between the parents and their children, encouraging Philipp to be more socially aware and misleading Esther into believing that Alba is stealing from her.

But with the movie’s slow and intriguing pace, spectators were left shocked when it turns out Teodora and her friendship group are cannibals and were willing to eat members of the family.

After the witnessing the confusing plot unravel on screen, viewers shared their disgust and upset online. One online user wrote: “Delicious – A Complete Disappointment. Delicious starts with a glimmer of potential but quickly descends into a disaster, making you wish you had never pressed play. From the very beginning, it promises something intriguing but delivers a storyline that feels forced, misguided, and frankly offensive.”

Another criticised: “Eat the rich? Welp this movie is such a dud, opening scene seemed very promising and the following scenes seems to convey a fractured society and marginalisation, there definitely was an element of mystery to it sadly left unsupported and underdeveloped by what is clearly lazy and unimaginative writing, so much could have been done with this plot.”

While a third added: “A Disappointing and Disturbing Watch. I was thoroughly let down by “Delicious”. What started as a slow-burning thriller quickly devolved into a nasty and gratuitous cannibalism film.”

Delicious is available to watch on Netflix.
