The killing of a sacred deer how were they paralyzed

Colin Farrell is Steven, a successful surgeon who once made a fatal mistake on the operating table that comes back to haunt him, his wife Nicole Kidman and their kids in horrible, bloody fashion.

The same then happens to his daughter Raffey Cassidy , meaning they both now pull themselves around the family home like seals. Even everyday encounters turn strange — like one character asking to look at another's armpit hair during a meal. Check out the sex scenes between Farrell and Kidman; they're like performance art, with one position they call 'the anaesthetic'.

The dominant mood is dread, and violence becomes inevitable. But its cruelty is tough to bear. Been there, done that? Think again, my friend. About us.
