Product Description

Review

In the tradition of the classic "chicken or the egg" debate, one wonders what came first: the title for Black Sheep, or the story? It hardly matters, because this film's New Zealand production team got it right, correctly gauging the humor value of watching these normally harmless creatures tear the flesh of their human keepers. Black Sheep is certainly more comedy than horror -- think the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the bunny slaughters King Arthur's knights -- but it's got gruesome enough visual effects to please the Troma crowd as well. What keeps it from becoming a classic horror comedy is that it doesn't quite build on the central concept. Black Sheep is one of those rare films whose appeal is instantly communicated through a one-sentence description, prompting laughter from most of those who hear it. The challenge, then, is to take the movie places that the concept alone can't, and Black Sheep doesn't quite do that. Still, there's much to recommend in a film that also functions as a parody of/homage to zombie and vampire movies, featuring bitten victims who slowly transform into human-sheep hybrids. The fact that the lamb rampage results from a particularly brutal form of animal testing means it's also likely to win fans among People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. At the same time, Jonathan King's film is layered enough to skewer those same people, as a lab sample stolen by self-important guerrilla activists is responsible for the initial outbreak of mayhem. By always keeping its tone light, Black Sheep is never less than a pleasing diversion. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

3.0 out of 5 stars Have you heard about an attack of carnivorous mutant sheep?, Aug 29 2008

By	Alcat Garcia "aka bel_78 // A.G. is just an a... (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

*** and 1/2

Have you heard about an attack of carnivorous mutant sheep? Well, they are in New Zealand, and they happen to star in this movie. "Black sheep" is a black comedy horror film that stands out from the herd. Given the number of horror movies released these days, that is no small feat.

Everything begins when Angus (Peter Feeney), the owner of an idyllic ranch, decides to genetically alter his sheep in order to earn more money. Things get out of hand, though, due to a freak accident that releases an experimental fetus, whose bite turns normal sheep into deranged ones with a lot of extra teeth and an unhealthy apetite for human meat. As if that were not enough, people bitten by these contaminated sheep turn into monsters that join the killer herd. Angus' sheep-phobic brother Henry (Nathan Meister) is the unlikely heroe that will try to save the day.

This is obviously a ridiculous plot, but it is original and carried out in such a way that makes you laugh despite yourself. I'm not a fan of horror movies, but I really liked this one. There is a lot of gore, but there are many funny spoofs that help you not to take it too seriously.

On the whole, I can say that I liked "Black sheep", and that I'm certain that writer/director Jonathan King is highly likely to make many interesting movies in the future, if he continues along the path he has begun with his debut feature. Recommended...
