Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey. is a 2014 horror thriller film directed by Ate de Jong. The film had its world premiere on 11 April 2014 at the Imagine Film Festival and stars Matt Barber and Megan Maczko as a husband and wife that find themselves at the mercy of a sadistic intruder.

Tom (Matt Barber) and Alison (Megan Maczko) are a married couple having sex when Aaron (Edward Akrout) breaks into their house and assaults them. When they come to, Alison is tied up and hung by her arms from the ceiling in the kitchen and Tom is about to be bound by Aaron in the bathroom. As events progress, Aaron's actions grow increasingly more violent and dangerous and things come to the surface that shows that Tom and Alison are both hiding secrets.

Critical reception for Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey. has been positive and Ain't It Cool News remarked that due to the film's graphic nature concerning sex, violence, and BDSM, the film will not be for everyone and that "It is extremely hard to watch in places and the politically correct lobby will undoubtedly be horrified by some of it, but that is the point. The film’s intention is to use a cheap genre staple to show how we allow ourselves to become party to violence."Twitch Film praised the movie for its acting, writing "When the shocks stop and the audience finally gets to catch a breath, it becomes apparent how great the acting is by the two-and-a-half leads."Starburst and Grolsch Film Works also wrote favorable reviews, with Starbust stating "A film as hypnotic as it is distasteful, Deadly Virtues certainly bears checking out. Like the art of bondage, it's not for everyone, but those who can appreciate such things should enjoy it. Deadly or otherwise, it does have its virtues."
