The Killing of a Sacred Deer

Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman star in this horror drama written and directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.

Steven Murphy (Farrell) is a successful cardiac surgeon who lives a happy life with his ophthalmologist wife Anna (Kidman) and their two children Kim (Raffey Cassidy) and Bob (Sunny Suljic).

However, his perfect life starts coming apart at the seams after he befriends 16-year-old Martin (Barry Keoghan).

Steven spends much of his time hanging out alone with the teenager and also invites him round to his upper-class home to socialise with his kids.

However, when Steven visits Martin and his mother (Alicia Silverstone) for dinner, the teenager's motives for their unusual friendship become clear and it transpires he's willing to go to great lengths to get what he wants, to the detriment of Steven and his family.
