Two bros kill their friend for funsies, then serve his family dinner. Chaos.

Morten Tyldum
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hitchcock's original was famously queer-coded; this remake leans even harder into the homoerotic tension between killers.
The real 1924 Leopold and Loeb case inspired this — two wealthy students who murdered a 14-year-old to prove Nietzsche's Übermensch theory.
