Black Sheep

A slick splatter-comedy in the Kiwi tradition of BAD TASTE, about a herd of rabid, flesh-eating sheep run amok in rural New Zealand.

The novelty, cultural 'in-joke' premise carries it for a good distance, but it later becomes hampered by the stock characters and situations, and misses the true innovation that the genre - and genre-fans - really demand. Still, its a well-executed 'daylight horror', with a few memorable scenes (courtesy of the blokes at Weta fx), and will appeal especially to a pop-corn market not so jaded by blood-and-guts humour.
