Lamb Trailer: Noomi Rapace Raises a Human-Sheep Hybrid Baby

[banglabhai420]

A24 unveils the official trailer for Lamb, teasing the Nordic folktale led by Noomi Rapace as a woman raising a half-human, half-sheep hybrid as her own child. The film hails from writer/director Valdimar Jóhannsson in his feature directorial debut on a script he co-wrote with Sjón, who recently partnered with Robert Eggers for his Viking epic The Northman. Alongside Rapace, the cast for the film includes Hilmir Snær Guðnason, The Witcher star Björn Hlynur Haraldsson and Everest's Ingvar Sigurdsson.

Lamb centers on Rapace's Maria and Guðnason's Ingvar, a childless couple living in rural Iceland who make an alarming discovery of a newborn one day in their sheep barn. Though excited at the prospect of building a family life, their defiance of the will of nature will soon bring devastating consequences. The film made its premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival under the "Un Certain Regard" section, where it would win the Prize of Originality.

A few weeks after unveiling the first teaser for the film, A24 has debuted the full trailer for Lamb. Set to the tune of The Beach Boys' 1966 track "God Only Knows," the video offers a deeper look at the mystery of the titular baby sheep and the psychological toll its arrival takes on Rapace and Guðnason.

Since the studio's first full step into the genre with 2016's The Witch, A24 has become synonymous with some of the more artistic and haunting horror films of the past few years. Between Ari Aster's jaw-dropping debut Hereditary to Peter Strickland's In Fabric, Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse and Rose Glass' Saint Maud, audiences are consistently prepared to be as psychologically devastated by the studio's stories as much as generally frightened by whatever terrors lurk within them. The first trailer for Lamb certainly points to another unique and horrifying outing from the indie powerhouse studio.

Much like Aster's Midsommar, the first trailer for Lamb points towards a story seeking to explore very real issues of a childless couple through the lens of a less-popular horror subgenre. With the trailer cutting between glimpses of a normal sheep and the human hybrid walking alongside Rapace's character as well as her visiting an unknown grave, there appears to be an intriguing psychological nature to the bizarre situation that could see the central couple simply projecting their desires on to the newborn. Only time will tell what Jóhannsson and co. have in store for audiences when the film arrives in theaters on October 8.
