Viewers should be aware that Deadly Virtues contains graphic psychological abuse, non-consensual acts, and extreme violence. It is not a conventional horror film but a confrontational art-house piece designed to disturb. It is recommended for mature audiences only.

Released in 2014, Deadly Virtues: Love. Honour. Obey. is a British psychological horror-thriller that deliberately subverts the traditional sanctity of the home. Directed by Ate de Jong and written by Mark Rogers, the film strips away the comfort of suburban life to expose a raw, claustrophobic battle of wills.

The narrative follows Tom (Edward Akrout), a charming yet sadistic stranger who breaks into the home of a seemingly ordinary married couple, Steve and Alison (Matt Barber and Helen Bradbury). Rather than a simple home invasion thriller, the film evolves into a dark, erotic, and deeply unsettling interrogation of marriage. The intruder forces the couple to confront the "deadly virtues" of their title—Love, Honour, and Obey—twisting these sacred vows into weapons of psychological torture. As boundaries between captor and captive blur, the film asks: how well do you truly know the person you sleep next to?
