If there’s one director whose entire filmography is consistently horror-adjacent, it would have to be Yorgos Lanthimos. The Athenian filmmaker is mostly known for his absurdist dramas, but nearly all of his movies feature some form of horrific undercurrent beneath the offbeat dialogue and odd characters. And while his 2023 feature Poor Things wears its horror influences on its Frankenstein-inspired sleeves, today I’d like to look back on the director’s most effortlessly terrifying film – 2017’s psychological thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
After reaching mainstream critical acclaim with 2015’s The Lobster, Lanthimos was basically given carte blanche on his next strange project. Borrowing the premise of an ancient Greek play, his next film would be a modern-day tragedy co-written by Efthymis Filippou and financed by Irish and British production companies. And like Yorgo’s previous English-language project, The Killing of a Sacred Deer would also benefit...

On day 144 of the writers strike — a week and a half shy of becoming the longest in Writers Guild of America history — there was a renewed sense of optimism on the jam-packed picket lines Friday as guild members heeded their union’s call to hit the pavement as negotiations with studio CEOs and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers entered their third consecutive day.
At Disney, more than a thousand members of the WGA and performers union SAG-AFTRA walked the woodsy Burbank grounds where many scribes expressed cautious optimism that a deal to end the work stoppage could be imminent following two days of progress at the bargaining table.
“I always feel good when they’re talking … the fact that they’ve been talking for three days straight is terrific,” said veteran showrunner Marc Guggenheim (Legends of Tomorrow).
Following a nearly month-long stalemate, the WGA and AMPTP returned...
