I was not prepared when I pressed play and sat down to watch Malgorzata Szumowska’s The Other Lamb. From the get-go, I had a feeling of overwhelming dread as I watched the Sheppard interact with wives and children. You see, his biological daughters are also his future wives (*shudders). His favorite daughter is Selah (Raffey Cassidy), who we watch go from being a child to t a young woman who finds her own strength as she comes to see the truth about her father.

The only monsters depicted here are the characters themselves, reminding us of the cruelty possible within a family. The Other Lamb is not your common horror film but definitely qualifies for the genre. I’ve seen thousands of horror films

Written by award-winning Australian screenwriter Catherine S. McMullen (Two Sentence Horror Stories), the film stars Raffey Cassidy (The Killing of a Sacred Deer)), Michiel Huisman (The Haunting of Hill House), and Denise Gough (Colette).

The members of the Flock – all women and female children – live in a rural compound, and are led by one man, known only as Shepherd (Michiel Huisman).

Selah is given the great honor of
