Review of The Flock

The Flock (2007)
Good acting but a very mediocre story that uses gore to its disadvantage.

I saw this on a premium channel with Marie as we were pet-sitting in Brooklyn.

Richard Gere is Erroll Babbage, a soon to retire city employee. He has a replacement to train, Claire Danes as Allison Lowry. I like both Gere and Danes, so it was entertaining to see them. However I found the actual story depicted to be very marginal, and hardly worth the time to watch it.

The central story involves a serial killer, and part of his or her crime scene signature are the body parts, all cut up. There is a scene where lots of body parts are discovered, and I found it poor movie-making.

There is a missing young lady and they fear she may become the next fatality. So the story involves looking for clues and finding her while she is still alive.

A note of interest, singer Avril Lavigne has a small role as Beatrice Bell.
