Black Sheep

It's smart; it's silly; it's – kill me now – shear terror.

You'll laugh, you'll groan, you'll never buy wool again.

Once you have seen a sheep munching on a bloody human leg, you may think twice about your next leg of lamb. On the other hand maybe you'll be inspired to seek vengeance. To provoke one of these responses -- vegetarianism or a defiant meat eating -- may be the point of this odd, amusing film.

Endearingly amusing horror pic.

Both the humor and horror are as broad as the side of the Oldfields' barn, but King and the cast are clearly having fun.

I did like seeing the (fakey-looking) sheep take flying neck-high leaps at various human throats, in scenes recalling the killer rabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." And I enjoyed the Kiwi dialects. And I suspect King's next film will be better.

Stunning vistas of New Zealand's rolling countryside aren't enough to carry this lame 2006 horror spoof.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Comedy horror from New Zealand about genetically "altered" killer sheep. Well it kills an hour & a half. It's predictable, silly & gross but it never takes itself too seriously. Oh & the Were-Sheep are just disturbing.

The practical effects and the sheep were definitely the highlights. The lowlights were mostly the actors and the dialogue. Had it been longer than 87 minutes I might not have bothered watching all the way to the end.

30 minutes in it seems pretty promising but it went downhill from there. Really this movie goes nowhere and except some gore scenes, it is not scary at all.

I usually give movies more than 4 chances in redeeming my respect, but this film is terrible. I watch movies with an open mind but, this is just terrible. The acting is one of the main reasons why I don't like this film..
