What the fuck is going on in the Lamb trailer?

What we do know is that Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snær Gudnason play married couple María and Ignvar, who live on a farm where they herd sheep. When one of their sheep gives birth, they realize it actually looks human—well, with the exceptions of its lamb’s head—so, the couple decides to raise the lamb as a human daughter. It’s freaky. The lamb walks like a person and wears clothes—it looks like a live-action BoJack Horseman character. There also seems to be a showdown between the lamb’s birth mother and her adoptive parents, hinting at a Losing Isaiah-type of situation in the animal kingdom.

But we have so many questions: Why did the sheep give birth to a human-looking lamb? And how exactly is the sheep going to threaten 2 humans who—from what we saw in the trailer—own guns. It also looks like some other ominous shit’s going down and reviews have been teasing that there are some creepy creatures coming in the final act of the movie, so how does that tie into the lamb? It gives off similar eerie vibes as A24's hit Midsommar.

The Icelandic thriller is directed by Valdimar Jóhannsson, who also co-wrote the screenplay with renowned poet/novelist Sjón. The film arrives to theaters on October 8.
