"Black Phillip can trot off because there’s a new GOAT goat in horror"

Fréwaka is in Irish cinemas now 🐐

A goat (Black Phillip from The Witch) walks in front of another goat (from Fréwaka) Standing in front of the other goat, Black Phillip begins to ask (as captioned) "wouldst thou like to live delicious-" but is interrupted. a hand appears to shove Black Phillip out of the way, caption reads "-out of the way, you." the goat from Fréwaka stands unblocked. Caption reads "aww!"

“This narrative is not content to just throw together a bunch of damaged characters into a strange setting and add a load of jump scares. There is mounting tension throughout and a constant, wary questioning of reality.” Mick Jordan reviews Fréwaka. Read more here. filmireland.net/2025/04/24/r...
