''The Other Lamb'' is a 2019 horror film directed by Małgorzata Szumowska and written by C.S. McMullen. It stars Raffey Cassidy, Michiel Huisman, and Denise Gough.
Life with Shepherd is the only life Selah has ever known. Their self-sufficient community possesses no modern technology, and is hidden away in the woods, far from modern civilization. He is the group's guardian, teacher, and lover. Each of the many female members of the group is either his wife or daughter. Selah is pure in faith, but also dangerously headstrong. She was raised as a daughter of Shepherd, but it is only a matter of time before she also stands to become a wife. As an encounter with the authorities forces the women and Shepherd to build a new Eden further inland, Selah increasingly doubts her faith, and has strange, bloody visions. The onset of puberty brings with it harsh new rituals, and her first shocking glimpse of what happens to Shepherd's women as they age.
!!This film provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Shepherd is initially of the psychological variety, conditioning his daughters to be slavishly devoted to him, but graduates to physical as the film goes on, beating, molesting and nearly drowning them at various points to retain his control.
* {{Cult}}: "The Flock" is essentially this.
* DeathByChildbirth:
** How Selah's mother died. [[spoiler: Or at least, how she ''thought'' her mother died.]]
** One of the women ends up conceiving during the journey. The trauma of the delivery, combined with the lack of sufficient medical assistance, results in her passing away as a result.
* ParentalIncest: Shepherd starts eyeing his teenage daughter Selah to become his new wife as she comes of age. [[spoiler: Upon reaching their new home, Shepherd sexually assaults Selah at night. The following day, he kills the older wives with the intention of replacing them with his daughters.]]
