Review of Lamb (2021) by Dawdlingpoet — 27 Feb 2022

This is a distinctly eery film - not exactly all out horror (certainly not constantly) but definitely unsettling and with a bit of bloodshed towards the end. It reminded me slightly of another world cinema title called Border, aka Grans, in terms of the dark fantasy element to it.

I can't say too much so as not to provide spoilers but things become a bit bizarre after a while. There's a good atmospheric feel to it with the thick mist/fog and the lack of dialogue is also quite noticeable.

Most of the film we watch, as if voyeurs of a sort, the main characters go about their daily lives, caring for the land they (I assume) own and certainly farm on. This is certainly a quirky film, with a folk tale feel to it.

I don't think I can say much more. It may not appeal to everyone but its somewhat memorable and I think I enjoyed it for the most part, so yes, I'd recommend it, as something a little bit different than other, certainly Hollywood, films.
