Has a doctor ever killed your father, and you used voodoo to get back him? Yea, me too. Yorgos Lanthimos's follow-up to The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, is every bit as creepy, dark, and ironic as the former.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer scares, baffles, unsettles, annoys and peels off the happy smokescreen to reveal the discomfiting reality of yet another upper class family.

Bleakly brilliant.

There isn’t a frame of this film, there isn’t a scene, that doesn’t awe by its phenomenal control. For a director so clearly influenced by surrealism and the absurd, there is a classical, austere formality to his filmmaking.
