The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) - 121 min

The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a psychological horror film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
Starring Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan & Raffey Cassidy.
Steven is a successful surgeon who lives a pleasant life with his beautiful wife and two children's. He shares a strange friendship with a boy named Martin, whose father died during a surgery conducted by Steven. On a fine day Martin tells Steven that one by one his family members will fall to paralysis.
Lanthimos, the director of Lobster movie once again come up with a weird story that tells psychological revenge or beyond my imagination. From the opening scene you know it's not going to be a friendly movie to watch with family. Both Farrell and Kidman gives their best, so as the rest of the crew. The wide shots and slow zoom in or zoom out close up shots reminds the old classic horror film 'The Shining'. Overall, it's a creepy movie to watch for sure and if you like his previous works like Dogtooth and Lobster it's worth a shot.
Verdict: Good
