Based on true events, the movie tells the story of a charismatic but violent predator who starts a frienship with his girlfriend's teenage son and that relationship leads to a spree of torture and murder.
I did not know this film was based on a true story until the closing credits, which makes this story so much more terrifying. Director Justin Kurzel crafted a raw feel that will leave you slack-jawed.
