A24‘s new movie Lamb is a Christmas-set Biblical horror story of a childless couple, María (Prometheus star Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snaer Gudnason), who are sheep farmers in Iceland. On Christmas Eve they find a newborn who is half human, half sheep.
Meagan writes in her review for BD, “While Lamb may not fully satisfy on a narrative level, it does succeed as an experience. Rapace is the precise actor to lead an oddball movie like this, and the emotional beats resonate. Even if it can be challenging to grasp the peculiarities fully, it tugs at your heartstrings, and Lamb sweeps you up in its melancholic mood.”
After a brief theatrical and at-home PVOD run, A24 has an early Christmas present for horror fans – Lamb is now available on all VOD platforms!
“For me, it’s very much a story about healing, motherhood, and a dream of life even though you lost the one thing you cannot lose,” Rapace told Meagan in our exclusive interview.
Here’s the trailer.
