Though billed as a folk horror, THE OTHER LAMB (out now, DVD/streaming on MUBI) doesn’t much feel like one. There are shades of The Handmaid’s Tale to this drama about a small cult led by a messianic figure whose dreamboat looks conceal an abusive nature, and whose rules (“Only the Shepherd can tell stories”) work as an analogy for oppressive patriarchal religious structures in general. It’s attractively composed, and Raffey Cassidy simmers nicely as the young worm who eventually turns. Part historical film, part fantasy, part horror, German silent movie WAXWORKS (Blu-ray, 9 November) uses the framework of a writer hired by the owner of a carnival waxworks to write stories to publicise the exhibits. A two-minute sequence where he dreams of Jack the Ripper/Spring-heeled Jack is the “horror” highlight. Its expressionist techniques and memorably stylised sets are the chief draw; director Paul Leni later went to Hollywood to make movies like The Cat And The Canary. A Vietnam vet (John Phillip Law) and his new bride (Brit Ekland) spend their honeymoon on a yacht with two war buddies and their partners in 1987 slasher MOON IN SCORPIO (Blu-ray, out now). They eventually find themselves adrift, picked off one by one by a killer with a spiked glove. Apparently this was intended as a supernatural horror before the producers recut it, which would explain why it’s such a baffling mess. Finally, there are new 4K Blu-ray releases out now for both District 9 and V For Vendetta.
