Valdimar Jóhannsson's 'Lamb' works like a soul sequel to Robert Eggers' 'The VVitch' - with Black Phillip having an offspring and Noomi Rapace being dragged into the eerie situation of the story. It might be viewed as an allegory for parenting, a terrifying horror film, or even a deadpan comedy because it's funny, disturbing, and horrific, often at the same time. It is Jóhannsson's first film, but it is directed with confidence and skill. The performances are superbly subtle at first, building in intensity as the film progresses. The underwhelming conclusion fails to pull punches, but it is still very worth to experience.
