And yet, there’s something that makes sense about it. Saltburn isn’t the first grotesque, vaguely traumatising film to take hold of Christmas family viewing in recent years. Last year The Menu, which features finger amputation, suicide and the burning of human smores, seemed to be the main non-Christmas film that cut through the betwixmas period. In 2019, Uncut Gems had a strange hold over festive viewing, as did Nightcrawler back in 2014.
