[Trailer] IFC Midnight’s ‘The Other Lamb’ is Your Latest Reminder to Absolutely Never Join a Cult

From Bad Dreams to Midsommar, horror movies have repeatedly tried to make sure that none of us ever join creepy cults, and this year’s The Other Lamb is cut from that same cloth.

For her entire life, the cult she was born into has been all that teenage Selah (Raffey Cassidy) has known. Along with a band of similarly cloistered young women she lives seemingly unstuck in time, cut off from modern society in a remote forest commune presided over by a man called Shepherd (Michiel Huisman), a controlling, messiah-like figure with a frightening dark side.

But when her insular world is rocked by a series of nightmarish visions and disturbing revelations, Selah begins to question everything about her existence—including her allegiance to the increasingly dangerous Shepherd. Awash in images of primal, dreamlike dread, this provocative fable is a haunting vision of adolescent awakening and revolt.

IFC Midnight will release The Other Lamb, the English-language debut of Małgorzata Szumowska (Body, Mug), in limited theaters and on VOD platforms April 3, 2020.

Catherine S. McMullen wrote the script.
