Movie Review: Shepherd (2022) Is Equally Stunning And Disturbing

Writer-director Russell Owen’s chilling new horror Shepherd, set to be released this May, centers on a man mourning the death of his wife. To get a change of scenery he takes a job as a shepherd on a remote Scottish island.

The fog and mist-filled island and ramshackle home add to the feeling of isolation and tension. The cinematography
