9 Horror Movies That Forced You To Answer Impossible Questions

Sometimes, you don't realise you're making a bad decision until its far, far too late, and sometimes, the answer is clear from the outset. For instance, if we're exploring the latter, then Dr Stephen Murphy had the choice to either have few drinks before performing a surgery or to just... not, and his unwise slip up in drinking an alcoholic tipple cost his patient his life, unravelling a series of consequences far harder to navigate as a result.

As such, the Murphys find themselves at the mercy of the patient's son, Martin, who wants to enact revenge for losing his father by making Stephen suffer through the loss of one of his own family members. Stephen is forced to choose whether his wife, his daughter, or his son will die by his hand, with inaction resulting in a supernatural disease taking hold and killing all three of them slowly and painfully instead.

The Killing Of A Sacred Deer puts things into perspective with its impossible question, making you ponder what exactly you would do, or even could do when faced with picking between your own children and your wife when each of them is vehemently fighting death. Whacking on a blindfold and going mad with a shotgun is one extreme way of dealing with it, but really, is there any right way of going about murdering those you love to save the rest?
