How it scared people
The vibe
An Icelandic sheep farm, a childless couple, and a newborn that is not quite either species. Jóhannsson plays it deadpan-straight, more uncanny fable than horror film, with mountain silences that do the work of a score — until nature calls in its debt.

Lamb carries no MPAA certificate. We score it 1/5 for jump scares, 1/5 for gore and 4/5 for lingering dread, over 106 minutes. Very little blood — the hard part here is atmosphere and aftermath, not graphic content. Older teens and adults — less for what it shows than for how long it stays with you.
We rate what the film does — scares, gore, dread — not scene-level content like language or nudity, which we don't track.
