Repo Jackβs review published on Letterboxd:
Hooptober π± Welcome to Repo's Drive-in!
Six Countries: Iceland
I gotta go to Iceland. I know the winters are dark but you got the Northern Lights and it looks so freaking beautiful -- almost like it's the Northern Hemisphere counterpart of New Zealand. And both countries have a shit-ton of sheep.
I swear this is the spiritual sequel to 2006's Black Sheep. I actually think one of the mutant sheep from that movie some how made it all the way from New Zealand to Iceland to mess with the farm folks. Or more likely, Krampus fucked a sheep.
The part about Krampus was complete conjecture on my part. In the very opening scene, some "unseen" presence in the blizzard causes the sheep to go nuts and a girl sheep collapses after stumbling out of a stall -- its hard not to imagine Krampus looking for some action in those cold hinterlands.
This is a sloooow burn. I know working on a farm is hard work but watching people working on a farm is boring as hell. If you watch the trailer you get the gist of the movie, so if you prefer to be completely surprised, don't watch the trailer.
It's always great to watch Noomi Rapace in pretty much anything. This is the first time I've seen her play a mother hen and she's just as good playing that role as she is playing a self-aborting alien ass kicker in Prometheus.. You do NOT want her to adopt your baby.
The ending, while not surprising, is so stupid it's awesome.
