Tubi Thursday: The Killing of a Sacred Deer

 Instead of something nice and fun, I forced myself to watch this.

Now I feel like a Poor Little Thing...

A Doctor- Colin Farrell- has a curious relationship with a young man (Barry Keoghan- playing 16) who keeps coming around to see him.

Something is off.

The young man gets a bit obsessive, coming off like a stalker or a spurned lover (a la Basic Instinct).

He ingratiates himself with the family as well.

Cue the 'Eerie Music.'

He keeps talking about his dead Father and we keep hearing vague, overlapping statements like 'He hasn't had a drink in 3 years' and 'My Father has been dead for 2 years.'

He finally warns him that his Family will be in trouble.

Bad things happen to his children and nobody can explain it.

Will an offhand reference to a Greek Tragedy hold the answer?
Fun Fact- Farrell's Son is played by the same young person who voices Kratos' son in God of War.

It all comes to a head in a very dark and serious manner.

Who will survive?
Who will be the same after all is said and done?

To find out, stream the Film now.

Yikes.  This one was...something.

It's been a long time since I watched The Lobster.  I recall it getting really dark and intense in the 3rd Act.
This one does the same.

It also does this weird thing where people sound very natural, but also very surreal.  I can't really explain it- you just kind of have to see it.

This Film is a great showcase for the Actors, so I can see why people like Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone really petitioned hard to be in this.
A weird Batman connection, no? 
Especially with Barry (in Deleted Scenes) as a Joker and Farrell as The Penguin in the most recent Batman Film.

This one is dark.  This one is odd.

If you're still interested after reading the summary, give it a look.  Jus be prepared to be thinking long and hard about what you just watched...

A good Film, but another one that I'm not sure that I plan on watching ever again.  It's just so...so Yorgos.
