Black Sheep (2007 ; 87 Brain Eater) : This is a great horror film, it is definitely over the top and cheesy but not in a bad way. It is a New Zealand made horror comedy written and directed by Jonathan King. The films "splatstick"-style was inspired by New Zealand director Peter Jackson's movies like Dead Alive and Bad Taste. The special effects were done by Weta Workshops, the same crew who did the Lord of the Rings trilogy. When it comes to cheesy horror films the special effects aren't usually that good but this film has really great special effects. Rating wise this film did really well but I do find a lot of negative comments which is just silly. Sometimes people take their horror too seriously. The cast does a really good job and who doesn't love the idea of killer sheep. It's a fun story line/ plot with lots of blood and gore. This is a film that is definitely worth checking it out!
Growing up on the family sheep farm was idyllic for smart, sensitive Harry Olfield, except for some knavish mischief from cocky brother Angus, until their dad has a fatal accident. Fifteen years later, Harry has finished sheep-phobia therapy and his ICT schooling and returns. Angus buys him out, all ready to present the genetically engineered Oldfield sheep he bred with a ruthless team. When environmentalist Grant steals a discarded embryo, which has sharp teeth, he gets bitten by it, and thus the first the be infected with predatory hunger and a mechanism that turns any mammal into a werewolf version. Running for the farm men, Grant's mate, student Experience, gets teamed up with Harry and his boorish but gentle pastoral youth friend Tucker. They must survive both the bloodthirsty sheep and their creators, who didn't realize this yet but dispose of an antidote.
