Mary Had a Little Lamb
Year: 2023
Plot: This is a low-budget slasher horror film that reimagines the classic children's nursery rhyme. A true-crime radio host named Carla, desperate for a fresh story to save her job, takes her crew into the woods to investigate a recent string of disappearances. They stumble upon an isolated cottage inhabited by a seemingly eccentric, middle-aged woman named Mary. Mary lives with her adult son, a hulking figure she calls her "little lamb," who wears a grotesque sheep's head mask and is her homicidal enforcer. Carla and her team soon become the latest victims in Mary and her "lamb's" murderous spree, as the film descends into a bloody struggle for survival that heavily pays homage to, or directly riffs on, classic backwoods horror like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
