Why ‘The Killing Of A Sacred Deer’ Is The Creepiest Movie Currently On HBO Max

From just the trailer I knew The Killing of a Sacred Deer was going to be a different kind of horror movie. We see a child collapsing, failing to walk, and collapsing again. A girl crawls down a flight of stairs. A boy pulls his lower half along a hardwood living room floor. A surgeon acknowledges he was unable to save a psychologically disturbed boy’s father. A revenge story, then. I feel sickly after I watch it.

See for yourself:

The plot revolves around a surgeon, his family, and a boy whose father recently died.
