Living out everyone’s worst Craigslist nightmare, car buff Richard (Ross McCall) goes to check out a vintage Mustang for sale and finds himself imprisoned in the home of older couple Everett and Glory (Jude Ciccolella and Susan Priver). With their collection of tribal masks — and the blowgun Everett uses to take him down — they appear to be way into exotic travel.
Soon it’s clear that Richard is the upcoming entree for these two suburban cannibals, unless he can find a means of escape.
Careening from gore to psychological drama to dark humor, director Henry Olek never commits to a tone. Richard’s shady Wall Street background almost suggests a 99-percenter payback fantasy (eat the rich?). But that never goes anywhere, and ultimately “Serving Up Richard” feels about as substantial as a Happy Meal (which this poor guy assuredly is not).
