“The Other Lamb” is produced by IFC Midnight, and I watched it on Hulu. The film revolves around a cult comprising numerous women and girls, led by a man known as the Shepherd. The Shepherd occasionally engages in romantic relationships with the women and often claims to be their savior from the outside world. Throughout the movie, they repeatedly depict dead lambs, symbolically associating them with menstruation and blood contamination.
Tragedy strikes when one of the women dies in childbirth and is ceremonially buried in a manner reminiscent of a Viking funeral pyre. As the older women grow too old, they are ritualistically drowned in a river. When law enforcement intervenes to expose the cult, they discover the Shepherd and the others dead near a waterfall. It can be inferred that Cella and a few others managed to escape to the river, as the film concludes with them holding a lamb under the waterfall.
I would rate this movie 4/10.
