The Killing of a Sacred Deer — IQ Score 160/200

Yorgos Lanthimos's 2017 Euripides-coded thriller anchored by Colin Farrell as a cardiothoracic surgeon whose family is mysteriously afflicted after he forms a friendship with a teenage boy whose father died on his operating table. The structural commitment to letting the supernatural-revenge premise operate without explanation — and the deadpan-procedural-clinical register the dialogue maintains — established the film as the catalog's most-formally-disciplined work.
