Review: Who knew poltergeist sheep could be scary?
Rating: 3 out of 5

First of all, the cover can be misleading. The beach together with the title may suggest a drama ala-Nicholas Sparks when it’s actually a supernatural suspense thriller with... *SPOILERS* aliens!This is the story of a small town where weird things start to happen: sheep get murdered, a young boy goes missing, mysterious streets and buildings appear out of nowhere, people start to act like they’re not themselves. Not to mention, the sheep appear to come back as ghosts and haunt the town (and I didn't expect it their scenes to be spooky). It turns out that aliens were involved - aliens having both magic and scientific powers. Actually, it reminds me somewhat of Newton Haven in the movie “The World’s End”.Alas...I couldn't get into motivation of some of the characters. Still, the buildup was alright, but towards the climax and to the end the final confrontation seemed to end abruptly...not the ending I was hoping for. But that’s just my personal preference. The rest of the ride is still worth a try.
