Synopsis of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, 2017): Renowned Dr. Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell) and his ophthalmologist wife Anna (Nicole Kidman) form an enviable family together with their two equally exemplary teenage children. Apart from this idyllic suburban life is Martin (Barry Keoghan), an orphan father who Steven decides to host. But Martin little by little begins to show a sinister behavior and to demand from Steven and Anna an unimaginable sacrifice.
