Night 10: LAMB (2021) – Folk Horror or Farm Drama? | 13 Nights of Halloween


Listen Later

It’s Night 10 of 13 Nights of Halloween, and we’re heading to the eerie, windswept fields of Iceland for one of the strangest entries in modern folk horror: Lamb (2021).  Directed by Valdimar Jóhannsson and starring Noomi Rapace, this slow-burn A24 film blends rural isolation, ancient superstition, and deep emotional grief—with a sheep-headed child at the center of it all. Is it horror? Is it a tragedy? Is it just really, really boring? We’re diving in.  Join Tim and Johnathan as they discuss the production, symbolism, awards buzz, and why Lamb has become one of the most polarizing movies in recent folk horror.  💀 Want to join in the scoring?
