The Dinner Date. Something on the darker side. An innocent young woman awakens to find herself bound, gagged and spread for inspection in a creepy slaughterhouse-type location. She’s the captive of the Chef, who says she’s the guest of honor for a couple’s special anniversary dinner. Soon, a posh socialite couple arrives, exchanges pleasantries with the Chef, and gets a chance to meet the main ingredient for their evening of gastronomic delights. The helpless, exposed girl is poked, prodded, squeezed, licked & nibbled, as the Chef takes the diners on a tour of the terrified girl’s flesh, perhaps marking off the desired cuts as they go - a process that is simultaneously erotic and clinical. Soon, it’s time to get the girl butchered, at which point the couple’s arousal hits a fever pitch. I imagine much of the butchering happens offscreen - sound FX/foley work doing most of the “heavy lifting” here - while our gaze is fixed on the couple, clawing at each other with growing intensity until they’re actually having sex, all while watching the butcher do his/her gruesome work. The final scene is a glimpse of the couple’s romantic dinner that follows. Ideally, the meals would look like fine-dining and be indistinguishable from other meat, not resembling body parts or similar gore FX. A centerpiece of the girl’s beautified head, and maybe some larger-than-usual meat portions, are the only giveaways as to what’s on their plates.
