Best Served Cold (2026) Movie Script

(melodic music)
(no audio)
(rhythmic music)
Melissa's interested in throwing
you a bridal shower if you want.
Wait. Melissa who?
You met her last week at Josh's birthday.
Oh, that Melissa.
Babe, come on.
I barely know her.
Shouldn't it be my best friend
who throws me a bridal shower?
Babe, you barely have any friends here.
Hey, excuse me?
Speaking of
Excuse me.
Hey, Moi! What's up?
Hello!
I'm in Chile!
Chile? Hey, that's unfair!
Weren't we supposed to be there together?
Yeah, but my remote work
application suddenly got approved.
I'm staying for three months here.
Three months?
What if we just have
your bridal shower here?
Game?
Yes! Okay, game!
You're really the best, Moi.
I'm game for that.
Hi, Moira!
Hi, Marvin!
Okay.
Let's plan it.
I'll see you soon. Bye!
Bridal shower.
Hey, Moi!
Joaquin messaged.
Joaquin?
The tour guide who was
flirting with you yesterday?
Yes.
And he said he's with some Filipinos.
And he's inviting us.
(dynamic music)
You guys first met in the US?
Yes.
Middle school.
Guys, hold on.
Oh my god!
Drink moderately.
We first met in the US
back in middle school.
She was the shy one.
I was the brave one.
The bullies always went after her.
We can say she had no choice
but to become my best friend.
So you're protected.
-Right?
-Shut up!
Can you believe it?
Filipinos are all over the globe.
That's true.
While I was bargaining at the market,
these two suddenly approached me.
They said it was obvious I'm Filipino.
Hey, more alcohol for everyone!
Take a glass!
Thank you!
You're my hero, Joaquin.
Thank you, my friend!
Thank you, Joaquin!
Maybe a little more for you.
Here's to our honeymooners,
Isabel and Daniel!
And to more sweet, sweet loving tonight.
-Yes!
-Salute!
But don't forget the best friends.
Of course!
We're all a little bit drunk,
so I'm going to give you some advice.
-Daniel.
-Sir.
In life, you must be a man.
Machismo is not always good.
Sometimes you need to
give permission to Isabel
to be rough on you.
Let her bite you, spank you.
That's wild.
Let her dominate you.
I like the sound of that.
Thank you, Joaquin.
Oh my god, Joaquin.
Yes, you're obviously a little drunk,
but you claiming that we're friends
is just a little bit you know ass...
Hey, Moira, come on.
We're just having fun.
You disrespected the newlyweds.
Disrespect?
So what are you going to do?
Buy a gun and shoot me because you hate
people being upfront with their opinions?
-Wow!
-It might be difficult because
the Walmarts here don't sell
guns like they do in America.
Walmarts? So cheap!
Hey! I'm sorry, Moira.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I'm disrespecting all of you.
I just I get horny when I drink.
But
Just so you know,
I'll let you do things to me.
Relax, relax!
Excuse me.
What the fuck, Gwen?
Who called you?
It's Marvin, right?
What's going through your mind?
He's been calling, but
you're not answering.
He was even bugging me earlier.
Chill, okay?
Do you have brain damage?
Come on, Gwen!
You're engaged!
You're getting married in two months.
This is supposed to be my bridal shower.
Shouldn't I get to do whatever I want?
I can flirt with whoever I want.
And I can even fuck whoever I want.
Right?
Why are you being such a judgmental bitch?
Gwen, it's too obvious
you're not ready to get married.
Why did you accept his proposal?
Gwen, talk to me.
Can we postpone the wedding to next summer?
Are you having second thoughts?
Fuck, Gwen! This is my life too.
Let's talk when I get home, okay?
Let's go, Gwen!
Yes, guys!
I'm really sorry if I got a little crazy,
but as a peace offering,
I'm inviting all of you to a
private resort near Valparaso.
The owners are giving me complimentary stay
and I can bring all of you.
Oh my god! Alright!
(energetic music)
-Are you happy?
-Yeah!
Okay.
Let's get our bags.
This one's not too heavy.
Shoutout to my ex.
Shoutout to my ex?
Let me guess.
He broke up with you
because of a third party.
Moi, we're not that close
yet for you to roast me.
I'm sorry.
Hey, but you're not wrong.
Why do you seem to
relate to my feelings lately?
Did someone break up with you?
Fun fact about my best friend
No boyfriend since birth.
What are you saying?
Gwen, shut up.
Well, my ex told me:
"It's not your fault if
you don't have a love life
but if you don't have a sex life,
and you're not even ugly,
that's your fault."
Exactly.
So, the real fun fact is not
that I never had a boyfriend.
The fun fact is I'm not a
virgin, even if that's the case.
Hello!
How was the drive?
It was good. Brought back memories.
How are you?
Hello!
Let me introduce you to my
favorite Filipino friends here.
Please. Guys, please
meet Dionis and Corazon.
-Hello!
-Hi!
They own and manage this resort privately.
Welcome to our little paradise.
Thank you so much for
inviting us, Sir, Ma'am.
You just made our
vacation really memorable.
Are you two honeymooners?
Yeah, this is our first time.
Okay.
Show them their rooms.
I will prepare refreshments by the beach.
Come inside. Come on.
I'll take care of this.
They should be more
than enough for the feast.
Are we here for work or vacation?
Says the girl who has no job!
Hear, hear!
-Whatever.
-No job.
Whatever, miss feminist.
Cheers!
But we've never had Filipino before.
What do you think?
Their blood's really warm
and their hormones are quite aromatic.
They all grew up in the Philippines
with so much sweets and carbs
and their skin has been marinated
under the sun and salty air.
You make me hungry.
What's so special about this place anyway?
I'm telling you guys, there's
no better food than Corazon's.
Wow!
-Really.
-I'm taking your word for that.
We'll find out.
I have made different
meals for you tonight.
I tried to guess each of
your food preferences.
You, Joaquin,
you love your seafood.
You are very adventurous.
For you, Moira.
Yes?
A vegetarian dish with curry.
Part of being a good cook
is knowing who you're cooking for.
For you, Daniel.
Yes, ma'am?
You love your steak.
I do.
-Tenderloin.
-Medium rare?
Of course.
For you, Isabel.
You have a very sophisticated palate.
Which is why you love Japanese umami.
Ma'am, what about me?
For you, young man.
You love your beef.
So cute.
You have to stay off the salt.
For you, Gwen.
You love your junk food
and you have a favorite.
For real?
Are those potato chips?
Gwen, that's your favorite!
Don't be upset.
Moi!
Wow!
Really?
Okay.
Gwen!
Well
enjoy your meal!
(water sloshing)
So, is the food really that good
that you're choosing to ignore me?
Yes.
The food really is that good.
But no.
I'm not here to ignore you.
I'm saving the best for last.
Are you okay, now?
I'll leave you two.
Gwen, please take care of yourself.
Is this an alligator?
No, it's our iguana.
The Chilean Dwarf Tegu.
You know, when I was younger,
a fortune teller told me
something weird about my future.
He said
that someday
a lizard will save my life.
That is pretty weird.
Why do you have this tattoo?
Maybe because I'm the
lizard that will save you.
-Good night.
-Are you sure?
Yeah. Have a good rest, okay?
Joaquin!
What the fuck?
-Why did you bite me?
-I'm so sorry.
I thought you're into
I'll go get us a new bottle of wine.
Okay?
I'm so sorry I ruined the moment.
I'll come back and I'll do better, okay?
(foreboding music)
Are you looking for something?
I'm looking for my
favorite person in the world.
The best cook ever.
(foreboding music)
Please, don't.
Don't do this.
Please don't.
Don't do this.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You poor American boy,
deceiving everyone with your fake accent.
Where's the van?
I have a bad feeling about these people.
We should just slaughter
all of them tonight.
Dionis.
I need them fresh and alive until tomorrow
afternoon for the recipes I'm cooking.
Then you should be careful leaving
the door to the slaughter room open.
Whatever happens,
you leave the girls Gwen and Moira alone.
Don't touch them.
Okay.
Just clean yourself up.
Okay.
(mysterious music)
Fuck!
Corazon.
I'm so sorry, Gwen.
How was dinner?
I've had better.
I'm very sorry about what I said before.
I was only concerned.
Please?
I was wondering if you've
seen Joaquin around?
He was supposed to get some wine earlier.
Yeah. Joaquin is, uh you know...
Joaquin?
Joaquin left.
-What?
-Yes.
He left. He said emergency.
That's all he said.
What do you mean emergency?
What kind of emergency?
He said he's going back.
What the fuck?
Don't worry.
I'm sure it's nothing.
He'll be back tomorrow.
Why don't you go rest for the night?
Yes?
Yes.
Please, don't worry about it.
Hey.
What happened to you?
Nothing.
But Joaquin's gone.
What do you mean gone?
Dionis said he had an emergency.
That's why he left.
You know
that couple is weird.
Weird?
Because of what Corazon told you?
I just realized Joaquin is not here
when he's the one who brought us here.
We're in the middle of nowhere
and we don't know that couple.
Okay.
But
It's okay for you to hook
up with a perfect stranger
that you also don't know well.
It's not about that, Moi.
Gwen.
You told me to accept
this invitation, Gwen.
You told me positive vibes.
That's why you were positive over there.
Right?
You're doing it again.
Doing what?
Your tendency to self-sabotage when
you don't want to face your problems.
Moi, just stop, okay?
I've had enough people judging me tonight.
I'm sorry.
Let's get inside.
Want to stroll outside?
Later.
Let's sleep first, babe.
I want to collect specimen.
I'm still sleepy.
You sucked all my energy.
Then go to sleep.
Love you!
Love you!
Love you, too!
-Hello!
-Hello!
Wow!
(birds chirping)
Hello, hello, sleepyhead! How are you?
Hi!
You wanna know the
good news or the bad news?
What?
The bad news is you're late for breakfast.
But the good news is
there's food for lunch.
Prepared by?
Secret.
Hey!
Gwen?
Yeah?
You okay?
Yeah. Just a little dizzy.
Dizzy?
You need to eat.
You didn't eat last night.
Here. Wait.
Don't be so sure, sis.
Did you see Joaquin last night?
He's only wearing a towel before
he went to the emergency exit.
So, he hasn't returned yet?
Not yet.
Why?
What's his emergency?
You know what?
I was actually...
I didn't talk to him.
I was actually talking to
Did you see Isabel?
I thought you were both still asleep.
Weren't you together the whole time?
I woke up late.
You know what?
Stay calm, sit down, eat breakfast.
Elliot, this is not Isabel.
I'm getting stressed.
Come on, Daniel.
You're just overthinking.
Ma'am, excuse me.
Have you seen my wife around here?
She's not with you?
She told me she was going to walk
around but she never came back.
Dear, look at the beach.
So pretty.
Beautiful waves.
Maybe she's just sunbathing.
Destressing, you know.
This is not Isabel.
I know her.
Which reminds me, girl
We have to go, take selfies sunbathing,
and let's search for Isabel.
Thank you. Please, let's go. Come on.
Okay.
Gwen. Also that's a rare meat.
I've only tried it now.
-It's really good.
-Let's go.
Gwen, eat.
I'll try.
Go!
Babe!
-Isabel!
-Babe!
You look sick.
I'm just tired.
Your pulse is weak.
What are you doing?
You're feeling nauseous,
but it's okay.
Just eat.
I know you don't like me, Gwen.
But when I cook,
it doesn't matter whether people like me
or don't like me.
I love cooking and I do it
with passion and purpose.
Many people have
lost their purpose of life.
And they don't take care of themselves
because they don't love themselves.
And when you don't love yourself,
it's impossible to find
purpose in the life you live.
The danger is
Other people may find that purpose.
(mysterious music)
(belching)
You're scared.
I'm okay.
I can feel your heartbeat.
It's nothing.
It's nothing.
I haven't been feeling well this morning.
Sorry.
I have to go.
Oh no, Bambi.
The woods aren't safe, huh?
Isabel?
Isabel!
-Isabel?
-Babe!
Isabel!
Where did she go?
-Babe!
-Isabel!
Oh my god, look!
-That's her.
-Isabel!
-Isabel!
-Isabel!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Isabel?
Slowly.
Careful.
Isabel, what happened?
I was just collecting a
specimen, then something hit me.
-What?
-Maybe you just tripped.
Let's get it checked.
What specimen?
Is this the specimen?
Don't touch it.
-Why?
-It's toxic.
Moi, just leave it.
It might...
Leave it. That might get
us held up at customs.
Let's go! Up!
Okay.
Let's get the fuck out of here!
Why is it here?
(tense music)
What the fuck!
Help!
Is there a nearby hospital?
Ma'am. Where's the nearest hospital?
We have to take her to the hospital now.
Let me check.
What happened?
The wound is shallow.
I don't think it's that serious.
Are you kidding me?
Look how deep it is.
You know what? You're not a doctor, okay?
Let's just wait for my husband.
He'll come back, and he'll
bring you to the hospital.
Okay?
I think he's back.
Sir!
Sir.
Oh no!
Please take her to the hospital.
I don't know this place.
-Please?
-Of course.
Stay calm.
We'll be back, okay?
I'm losing my mind with the turn of events.
I need to hydrate.
I haven't been feeling well all morning.
Can I please go with them to the hospital?
Gwen, why?
What's wrong?
Let's take a walk.
Come on.
We might have a problem with that girl.
We need to get everyone now.
We can take the husband and wife.
But whatever happens,
we leave those two girls last.
I don't want to ruin my plans.
I know this is gonna sound ridiculous
but the food they served us this morning
I think it's
Moi...
You think it's what?
Joaquin never really left.
Yeah. What do you mean
Joaquin never really left?
Where is he?
Dionis hid Joaquin's van.
If Joaquin really left,
his van shouldn't be here.
- Come on.
- Gwen, you're not making any sense.
You think it's what? The food is what?
What about the van? Tell me.
Why are you acting like that?
I think
I think Joaquin
Joaquin is
He's dead.
Oh my god.
Gwen, that's not funny.
- That's not funny.
- I'm not making things up, Moi.
I'm not kidding. I'll show you.
Where are we going?
Moi.
Moi, it was there.
The van was there earlier.
Moi, it was here.
Joaquin's black van was here.
It was parked here, Moi.
I'm telling the truth.
I promise.
It was just here.
Moi, believe me.
It was there.
You had me worried sick about you.
Did you know that?
I know.
Okay.
We'll get you to the hospital.
We'll go back home.
Be careful, okay?
Gwen, what did Joaquin give you last night?
What?
What drugs did you take last night?
Your eyes are still dilated.
You've been restless for a while now.
Moi, you think I'm on drugs?
You claim Joaquin's van was here
because you saw it earlier, right?
Where is the van?
Is it here?
There? Can you see it?
Do you see anything I don't, Gwen?
I promise, I'm not lying.
Gwen, weren't you the one
who insisted I come here?
And now you're acting like this.
Can you even see what you're doing, Gwen?
Why are you being like that?
What for?
To get my attention?
Because what?
Tell me and I'll accept it.
Joaquin just left and you became restless.
You've been looking for
him, following him to what?
So you can fuck him?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
(panting)
Talk to me when you're sober.
(poignant music)
What happened to you?
Why do you look like that?
Coming.
Come in.
Daniel, I'm very sorry about what happened.
Thank you.
I just prepared some bread for you.
Daniel, you Filipinos
are very brave people.
Why do you say that?
Well,
you're everywhere in the world.
You realize we're a
third-world country, right?
Yes, yes.
We go where the jobs are, right?
Yes, exactly.
That's why you don't mind the danger
of different places, different culture,
or people that are maybe
different than normal.
Idiot!
What's wrong?
I know Gwen very well.
I know her.
She can be a drama queen
sometimes but not like this.
So you believe it, Moi?
Are we in some international
travelogue movie gone wrong
that turned into a
horror flick? Is that it?
I don't know what to think anymore.
Let's put it this way, Moi.
You know what they say,
"there's clarity in alcohol."
You mean truth?
Just wait here.
Isabel?
Isabel?
Daniel?
Isabel?
Why are you doing this to us?
Why are you doing this to us?
Alright, alright.
Moi, have you seen Isabel and Daniel?
They might have left already.
Left?
I told them, I'll go with
them to the hospital.
Gwen, what's happening?
(suspenseful music)
Hello!
Hello, madam!
You know,
my father used to bleed the chicken alive
before we dress and prepare it for cooking.
It was always a mess because the chicken
keeps struggling while
waiting for it to die.
One day I asked him
He told me it was more efficient
to bleed a chicken while
the heart is still pumping.
If you don't struggle like chickens do,
it will be a slow but
an easy death for you.
You're cannibals.
I can't say the same for your friends.
Moi, I'm sorry about what I did earlier.
But I swear, I wasn't on drugs.
What do you think really happened?
What do you think happened to Joaquin?
We were just fooling around
then he went out to get some wine.
Yeah, we saw him last night.
I saw a tattoo.
I saw traces of that same tattoo
on the meat on the grill.
Meat?
That you ate earlier.
With tattoo?
I know...
Moi, I know...
I know it sounds crazy.
It's...
I also don't know. It's ridiculous but
I don't know what to think anymore.
Next thing I know, Joaquin's gone.
And now Isabel and Daniel are gone too?
I believe you.
We'll figure it out.
Look what we have here.
Please have some drinks.
Please.
Some refreshments.
On a hot sunny day.
Here's one for you, Gwen.
Please.
Moi.
-And for you as well.
-Thank you.
Yes.
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers.
(suspenseful music)
Gwen, you haven't been
feeling well since this morning.
Please drink this.
It will be so much better for your stomach.
Yes, I haven't been
feeling well all morning.
That's why I wanted to go
with Isabel to the hospital.
Yes, I'm so sorry about this, Gwen.
Isabel was feeling very bad,
they had to leave immediately.
And they couldn't wait for me?
Moi.
-Gwen is triggered again.
-Please, Gwen
your heartbeat is going up again.
Please drink this.
Why don't you drink it.
Well, I've drank mine already.
So?
Drink with us, Corazon. Drink it.
Is there a problem here, Gwen?
Drink this and we won't have any.
Gwen, why are you being so stubborn?
Why are you being such a liar?
I saw Joaquin's van at the shed earlier.
So why are you saying he's not here?
Where are they?
Where's Isabel? Where's Daniel?
Where's everybody, Corazon?
-Moi!
-Moira!
Oh my god!
Moira!
Moira!
Gwen!
See you later.
My love, Gwen escaped.
Fuck!
(dynamic music)
(panting)
Son of a bitch!
If they're going to kill us,
we'll drag them to their deaths too!
Those sons of bitches!
Why is it my fault?
I told you that Gwen is suspicious.
Yet you thought she would easily
drink the cocktail you gave her?
Here.
Do you think there's still enough
for the feast if you don't catch Gwen?
I guess we'll be needing
a replacement for that.
Are you threatening me?
I have taken steps to protect myself.
Don't you dare, Corazon.
Listen.
I don't find the likes of
you appetizing anyway.
What do you mean the likes of me?
Because I'm gay?
Hey, listen.
Do you know that the
crab has what they call
the homosexual breed?
And between the male and the female crab
the gay one is more in demand.
Because it is in fact more
Flavorful.
Don't be so concerned about this.
We're not even going to slaughter
Gwen tomorrow for the feast.
Okay?
What?
Yes.
Why?
Because she's double the flavor.
Special.
Tell me more.
Dionis? Come in, Dionis.
This is Elliot.
Hey.
Did you find her?
No.
What can I do to help?
Go back to the villa in case
she tries to rescue her friend.
What is this guy saying?
Go there in front! Now!
Where the fuck are you, Gwen?
No.
No!
No!
What did you do?
Son of a bitch!
What did you do?
These mushrooms,
their toxins are heat
resistant even when cooked.
Fuck!
You will never have us.
You bitch!
Fuck!
(intense music)
Moi?
Moi?
Moi?
-Help me!
-Moi!
Help me!
Gwen!
You should've left me, Gwen!
-No.
-You should've left me, Gwen!
I'm here now.
-You should've just left me!
-No, no
-You should've just left me!
-I didn't...
Why don't you leave me, Gwen?
I won't leave you.
I'm just here.
I'm sorry.
Sons of bitches!
Moi, stay here.
Just trust me.
Pretend you're asleep.
Isabel
Daniel
Good.
You're awake.
Shut up.
I'm tired with you people.
I'm tired. Shut up.
There's a recipe in your country
Something called
"Pinikpikan".
The blood clot supposedly
makes the meat more savory.
Gwen.
I'm sorry.
We have to go.
You bitch!
Come on. Let's go!
Moi.
Moi, sit here.
Sorry, Moi.
I have to do this, Moi.
You're okay, Moi.
Let's go.
Let's go. Hurry, Moi.
Let's go, Moi.
Let's go.
Let's go there.
(suspenseful music)
-Oh my god!
-Elliot!
-Elliot!
-Moi!
Gwen!
I'm so glad you're both safe.
What happened to you?
What happened?
Thanks to Gwen I was able to escape earlier
but I can't leave not knowing
what happened to you both.
We have to escape.
I don't know how, but
we must escape this hell.
We have to leave now.
We must not be caught.
We have to go to the highway.
We're going to the highway.
What's wrong?
Elliot. Elliot!
What's happening?
Why? Moi.
Are you nauseous?
What the fuck, Gwen?
How will you get nauseous
from that woman's cocktail
when you didn't even take a sip?
What?
I saw you.
You took the drink.
You made a toast.
You gave it to Moira
but you didn't drink it.
Gwen.
You escaped, right?
You ran away.
You weren't there when I
was trying to save my life.
This is not true.
Elliot?
Are you there?
Elliot?
Son of a bitch!
Fighting for your life?
Why do you have a radio?
You're their accomplice. Why?
Why, Elliot? Why?
Gwen, I can explain.
I can explain.
Why?
Cut it out, Gwen.
Please stop.
Maybe it's not true, Gwen.
Gwen, listen...
Okay, fine!
I'm busted!
I'm the one who organized this trip.
All the while,
you thought it was Joaquin.
Right, Dionis?
Moi!
-Gwen, run please!
-She will be dead!
So is he!
Run away, Gwen!
That's enough!
Stop it!
That's enough!
Elliot!
Stop!
Stop it!
I said stop it already!
We need her!
Leave her alone!
What the fuck, Dionis! Do
you really have to kick me?
Get up!
Get up!
Find them!
Find them!
Gwen!
(suspenseful music)
There.
Over there.
Gwen!
It's hard to escape here.
Gwen!
Moira!
You think you'll be able to escape?
You bitches!
I told you already
You should've ran away.
You should've left.
I cannot leave you, Moi.
You're right.
I always run away from my problems
and I always leave a mess every time I do.
But you
You've always been there for me.
You don't understand.
You don't know.
I love you.
I'd rather die than you.
Moira,
I know.
Gwen!
I know you're curious about us.
Well, let's just say we're a
a group of people with common interests.
With a common taste
For the human flesh.
You see, many years ago,
there was a commercial flight
that crashed there in the Andes.
You know how the survivors made it?
They consume the flesh of those who died.
After the dust settled,
people were inspired
by what the survivors did.
Some people got very curious.
That's how we met each other.
We meet each year now.
We're hosting a fantastic feast
To commemorate the
triumph of the human spirit.
The sacred consumption of the human life.
That's why you're here, girls.
For something beautiful.
(foreboding music)
You're pregnant, Gwen.
You're pregnant!
My wife detected a faint second heartbeat
when she held your hand this morning.
No, I'm not.
You're probably about six weeks pregnant.
Maybe you don't know about it yet.
Congratulations!
You're like a two for one special.
You two really wore me out!
This is your end, Gwen!
Moi!
Moi!
Moi!
What now?
You can't escape, Moi!
You can't escape!
You son of a bitch!
In my jungle?
In my jungle!
In my jungle!
Help!
Help!
Help!
How dare you!
I thought you were my friend!
I trusted you.
You trusted me?
You're the traitor!
No!
Help!
In my jungle!
In my jungle!
(intense music)
Gwen!
Gwen!
Let's chop this motherfucker!
My love!
(intense music)
(mysterious music)
(triumphant music)
(melodic music)
(music fades down)
