New film Delicious has shocked Netflix fans (Picture: Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Netflix<\/a> fans have been reacting in shock and horror at a gruesome new movie on the streaming platform that\u2019s been described as \u2018Saltburn meets Parasite<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Delicious is a psychological thriller<\/a> which dropped on Netflix on Friday and has already stirred up a major response, with some people even claiming they\u2019ve lost their appetite after watching it.<\/p>\n

The movie follows a wealthy German<\/a> family, vacationing in France, who accidentally hit a young woman, Teodora (Carla Diaz), with their car while driving back from dinner.<\/p>\n

After seeing that she\u2019s hurt her arm, they take her home and attempt to pay her off so they can avoid an awkward and costly trip to the hospital \u2013 but the next day she comes back, asking to be their housekeeper after claiming her injury means she\u2019s lost her job.<\/p>\n

So Esther (Valerie Pachner) and John (Fahri Yardim) take her on as an employee for the summer, not realising that they will all become dangerously intertwined as Teodora seeks vengeance.<\/p>\n
