2010s horror movie trailer, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer

The typically eerie 2010s horror film, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer by Yorgos Lanthimos follows a boring middle-class doctor Colin Farrell, as he and his family experience the effects of an unknown curse explainable. The basic concept and ethical questions in the film and its title, originate from the works of Euripides written somewhere in the late 5th century BC.

As with other Lanthimos films, there exists a particular kind of dry humor throughout The Killing of a Sacred Deer. You can't help but find it funny, even in the many moments of suffering. It handles the slowness of impending doom in a very universal way that never loses its real emotional impact.
