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

 freaking hilarious October 23, 2008
my boyfriend got me this movie as a joke but the joke's on him, it's HILARIOUS. yeah the plot is a little campy but for the couple CGI moments included, they're surprisingly well done. defiantly a cult classic
 Silly flick but I've seen sillier, October 3, 2008
Henry Oldfield returns to the farm he grew up on. He learns that his brother has been performing experiments on sheep. When the sheep become infected, they go on a flesh eating rampage. Henry has to fight against these furry nightmares, despite a traumatic childhood experiance.
This is something I just had to see, especially being a die hard fan of "When Animals Attack" videos. When it comes down to animal terror, I just can't pass up the experiance no matter how silly it seems. And believe me, Black Sheep is a very silly movie.
The actual plot is forgetable. The movie doesn't really begin to pick up until the sheep are feasting. There isn't too much to talk about here. The gore is very good. There's a nice display of zombie like mayhem here. On that end, I'm very satisfied and can easily see this again many times. The special effects are pretty good but I feel some of the comedy missed the mark. The ending was definitely out of nowhere, it was every bit as silly as the movie itself.
Give this a watch if you're a sucker for dark comedy. But I recommend Dead Alive way before this. Black Sheep is a decent watch but I think it could have been better.
Have some cuddly horror with Vampire sheep October 2, 2008
As young boys, Angus Oldfield scares brother Henry by killing his pet sheep Dudley, then attacking him with the bloody head. Years later, Henry retains his phobia of sheep, though he must return to the farm for some business with Angus. Angus has been up to no good, genetically engineering a special breed of sheep to announce to the agricultural world as the Oldfield. In Angus's lab, geneticist Astrid Rush had taken many risks.
Sneaking onto the farm are Grant and a girl named Experience, vegetarians and tree-huggers, they mean to capture evidence of the evils being done to the animals on the farm. Grant swipes a bottled newborn sheep, ready to throw away in the "failure" pile, as evidence. Separated from Experience when caught, Grant plunges through the woods. He trips, falling on his evidence jar and breaking it. Funny, the little bugger inside is still alive, and takes a lively bite off Grant before heading off for the sheep herds. It's up to Henry and Experience to control the rabid sheep. Infection is inevitable, and those humans who are infected begin to transform into sheep ... blood hungry sheep.
Take a silly premise, add one of the more cuddly animals on the planet, toss in some blood and gore, mix lightly with comedy, and you have 'Black Sheep'. I had to laugh every time I saw one of the rabid sheep attacking, it just seemed so funny. But there are many other succulent scenes to add, like a gooey carcass pit, a bloody, skinned hanging sheep that's still alive, gory neck bites, amputations, airplane mishaps, unit pulling, and more. There's plenty of gore to satisfy, and the FX is fairly acceptable.
Vampire sheep is a event the 'B' Horror film lover will not want to miss. Nothing is better than laughing and saying "euewww" in the same breath. Especially if you love movies like 'Dead Alive' you should pick 'Black Sheep' up. Rent first, but for me it was a purchase. Enjoy!
Fun Bloody Romp September 23, 2008
Well, I was destined to be let down somewhat as the expectations were set rather high after seeing the outrageously fantastic trailer.
Still, tis a film that delivers on the entertainment aspect. Completely absurd, predictable in its weaving of obvious PETA-esque messages, but it does deliver the gore and has an acceptable story line. If you like your horror with a bit of cheekiness thrown in ala Leprachaun, Dead Alive, or even Child's Play, then this shall not disappoint.
 Horror Comedy, it wasn't baaaaaaaaaaaad :) September 21, 2008
Excuse the pun in my title, guys, and don't let my goofiness stop you from trying out this movie. Without giving too much away, this was a very funny horror comedy type movie, with some freaky moments! I rented it once and loved it so I had to buy it.
