New Year's Eve festivities have ended a while ago and everyone is still singing there's "murder on the dance floor."

Emerald Fennell's 2023 psychological thriller "Saltburn" – which features Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s disco-pop track “Murder on the Dancefloor" in a viral final scene – is the talk of the town.

The movie, released on Nov. 17, 2023, follows University of Oxford scholarship student Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) as he spends the summer with his classmate, Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), at Felix's sweeping estate, Saltburn.
