Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (The
Lobster, Dogtooth) doesn’t make simple,
straightforward movies. He doesn’t offer easy answers, or often even answers at
all. His latest, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, doesn’t
depart from this formula, but like his other films, it’s hypnotic, confrontational,
and lingers long after exiting the theater.
If not the most interesting (read: weirdest) filmmaker working
right now, Yorgos Lanthimos has to be near the top of the list, just between
Dogtooth and 2015’s The Lobster. So his
next offering, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, is obviously
one of our most anticipated movies of the year. Especially as it’s been
described as a revenge horror. And this first trailer only makes me with is was
in my eyeballs right now.
