'House of Spoils' features a ghost story
House of Spoils also incorporates elements of a ghost story, adding another layer to the horror narrative. In the film, the Chef is warned against using the previous owner's garden due to "witch lady" stories. Despite this, she proceeds to use the garden, leading to terrifying incidents at her restaurant. These range from bugs emerging from food to Chef herself appearing disheveled and terrorizing her patrons.
DeBose's performance in 'House of Spoils' highly anticipated
DeBose first gained recognition for her role in the original cast of Hamilton. She later won an Oscar for her performance in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. Despite appearing in several notable films since then, none have achieved significant success or showcased DeBose's full range of talents. House of Spoils presents an opportunity for DeBose to deliver a memorable performance and expand her genre repertoire.
