If you're looking for something new to watch on Netflix this weekend, you might want to check out the streaming service's latest thriller Delicious.
The new movie held its world premiere last month at the Berlin International Film Festival and marks the debut movie from writer/director Nele Mueller-Stöfen.
Delicious follows a well-to-do German family who spend their summer vacation in their French villa. One night, on the way back from dinner, their seemingly-perfect life is interrupted when they hit a young woman on the country road leading to their home.
Fearful of what will happen if she went to the hospital, the family takes her in and when paying her off doesn't work, she offers to work for the family as their housekeeper. It's a fateful decision that will change all of their lives...

Ahead of its release on Netflix today, early reviews for Delicious have compared the unpredictable thriller to the likes of Saltburn, Parasite and even The White Lotus.
What to Read Next
"Delicious has all of the ingredients necessary for perfectly crafted mainstream success: a strong cast, stunning production design and cinematography, and a story that will keep viewers talking long after the credits roll," wrote Cineuropa.
So you can expect an exploration of how the rich treats the poor in society, but we won't go any further than that as the secrets of Delicious deserve to be devoured as you watch the thriller.
But you might also need a strong stomach if those Saltburn comparisons are accurate.
