We all know how the nursery rhyme goes but this one brings along a new face of horror. This little lamb isn't little at all. This is big, has a bad attitude and swings an axe.
There has been a string of children tales turn into horror movies and this is the latest. The film is basically a slasher film with a mean and creepy looking lamb and Mary is a bit creepy as well. The films wastes no time in getting to the action with scenes of missing couples being tortured by Mary and her son. Then it slows to introduce Carla and her team and set up what might be the beginning of their end. The low budget film is well made and the cast including, May Kelly, Danielle Scott, and Christine Ann Nyland get good performances. They could have taken a bit more time on the story because Mary's back story doesn't make any sense and it could have used some better kills along with more blood but those can be fixed if they decide to do a sequel.
