One of the buzziest films not in competition at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this month was Valdimar Jóhannsson’s directorial debut “Lamb,” an atmospheric horror movie starring Noomi Rapace with such a bonkers plot that festival attendees couldn’t stop talking about it. The film was picked up by A24 before the start of Cannes. The studio has a great track record turning moody horror films into word-of-mouth hits, from “Hereditary” to “The Witch,” “Midsommar,” and more. Time will tell if “Lamb” joins the club, but A24’s first trailer is doing everything it can to stir up anticipation.
The official synopsis for “Lamb” from A24 reads: “A childless couple (Rapace and Hilmir Snaer Gudnason) in rural Iceland make an alarming discovery one day in their sheep barn. They soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature, in this dark and atmospheric folktale, the striking debut feature from director Valdimar Jóhannsson.
