Carla (May Kelly) hosts a radio show about cold murder cases, a show that struggles with declining audiences, so much so that her boss Pete (Mark Sears) threatens to cancel the whole show should Carla not come up with a ratings winner the very next week. So after some deliberation, Carla finds a missing persons case that's still fresh, and she and her team - Mona (Gillian Broderick), Ray (Harry Boxley), Shelly (Charlie Esquér), horny Liz (Danielle Scott) and Liz's boyfriend for the day Matt (Rob Kirtley) - are off to the woods where for ten years now people have gone missing with the police doing squat about it. Of course, out in the woods it's not long before they get lost, and of course there's no cellphone signal. But then they happen upon a house, and its owner Mary (Christine Ann Nyland) is nice enough to invite them in, even offers them rooms for the night. Thing is, there's something odd about the house, and also about the way Mary talks about her son she only refers to as Lamb (Gaston Alexander), but Carla smells a story and insists on riding this through, despite her team's reservations. That night, curiosity gets the better of Mona, and she decides to take a peek into Lamb's room - to find a man with a lamb's head who's quick to kill her before escaping the house. Finding her son gone freaks out Mary and she insists on going after him together with Carla. Thing is, Lamb hasn't gone far, and while Mary and Carla are out, he takes care of Carla's team and prepares a gory welcome for Carla ...

Now Mary Had a Little Lamb is hardly the re-invention of the wheel, but for a slasher movie it's also lots of fun, thanks to a nicely structured story that doesn't go right into the thick of things, an inventive backstory that gives the killers some tragic background, a certain predilection for the macabre, the absurd and the surreal, and an emphasis on suspense. And of course violence and jump scares in all the right places on one hand, a very able cast on the other help make this a highly entertaining genre ride.
