366 Days of Film. Day 81 - Lamb. A couple living in rural Iceland, struggling to have a child, adopt a lamb. Best to approach this film cold as the fable slowly, quietly, reveals its mysteries to great effect. I wasn't a fan of that ending, though, a bit of a... Grimm wrap up.

S02BONUS - LAMB & Cop Secret (Leynilögga) 2021

A non-spoiler discussion of two Icelandic movies that played at the 2021 BFI London Film Festival!

A very Icelandic folk horror and a very Icelandic ‘Hollywood’ buddy action movie!

Set and shot in Iceland, the period horror film THE DAMNED features the kind of quiet atmospheric chills that really get to me. Here's my review: jacobin.com/2025/01/the-...
The Damned Settlers Have Got to Pay
With a modest budget but plenty of thrills involving spooky 19th-century ships, frozen wastelands, and ghouls from Nordic folktales, The Damned proudly carries on our Gothic horror revival.
