I think I've finally reached my limit. I've grown tired of the redundant BS that American movie studios keep shoveling down our throats day in and day out. It's not just the horror films folks, its everything. But particularly... if I HAD to be particular... I'm sick of the PG-13 ghost pics and the inane remakes.

ok just see it. pretty much everything sounds like this is a horrible concept for a movie but you'll be entirely surprised. there almost no mistakes made here. really fresh concept, excellent plot, good acting, nice filming.
its somewhere between funny and scary, and its worth every minute of it.
the first zombie lamb you see in the movie is hysterical and demented. see it... read more

A delirious mix of broad comedy and wall-to-wall splatter, the New Zealand feature Black Sheep makes a convincing case for sheep as the new modern horror icon. These sheep aren't the garden variety grass eaters, however; they're genetically altered sheep who develop a ravenous hunger for human flesh after an experimental fetus is accidentally unleashed on a sprawling ranch by a hapless environmentalist (Kiwi actor and broadcaster Oliver Driver). And to make matters worse, those bitten by the monster sheep transform into monstrous "were-sheep" (spectacularly absurd creations by the Weta Workshop). The resulting clash between man and sheep is soaked in gore, of course, but the violence is taken to such outlandish extremes that only the easily nauseated or terminally grumpy will find it offensive. Writer/director Jonathan King's debut feature juggles the gore and the gags (many of which gleefully tread the lowbrow path) with skill thanks to an energetic cast, especially Nathan Meister as the sheep-phobic hero and Danielle Mason as an animal rights crusader who discovers her inner carnivore. The unrated DVD includes commentary by King and Meister, a 30-minute making-of featurette which includes an interview with Richard Taylor of Weta on the film's elaborate creatures, a smattering of deleted scenes, blooper reel, and a half-minute visual joke titled "Early Morning" that was shot especially for the DVD release. -- Paul Gaita

Judging by the creative output coming from places like the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, I'd dare say they have a much better handle on the genre than us. With that said, for those lucky enough to have seen New Zealander Jonathan King's hilarious killer sheep gore comedy, "Black Sheep," - and LIKED it - you are, in fact, a lucky few. Not many horror/comedies are as dead-on consistently hilarious as this and even fewer are willing to go as far as "Black Sheep" with such little co” read more
