Of course, book, movie, and series recommendations among TikTok users are such a sight to see. Many share their insights about these arts, and it opens a discussion in the comment section or stitch videos. Saltburn, from what we remember, got the hype with people showing their reactions and curiosity over the bathtub scene before the movie was released. Once the film stepped foot in the comfort of online streaming media, more audiences were opened to the Saltburn estate and its dark comedy genre.
More than the surprising and unexpected scenes throughout the movie, the last sequence of the film was one of the favorites, which the Saltburn trend was born from. Some fans took over TikTok to make their version of the final scene of Saltburn, while lowkey flexing their homes. While Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis-Bextor plays in the background, they go around the house dancing or in celebration, while others have some of their pals pretend to be bodies lying on the floor.

Many netizens have been talking about the story of the film, which differs from the Saltburn trend on TikTok. It revolved around an “eat the rich” theme, yet the trend seemed to be the rich showing off with their huge homes and extravagant lifestyles.
Amazing how all the rich people doing the saltburn trend don't realize that for it to work properly they have to die and their middle class friends take all their crap and dance. If you're going to do it right, do it right. Let your middle class friends assassinate you.
