Movies that feel likeLamb (2021)

An Icelandic couple live with their herd of sheep on a beautiful but remote farm. When they discover a mysterious newborn on their land, they decide to keep it and raise it as their own. This unexpected development and the prospects of a new family brings them much joy before ultimately destroying them.

If you loved Lamb, the closest films we have are The Eyes of My Mother (2016), A Dark Song (2016) and November (2017). All three share Lamb's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Good Manners (2018).
