Review: ‘Black Sheep’

Recently I rented the movie Black Sheep.

This is where you say, “Oh, the one with Chris Farley? Yeah, I’ve seen that, it’s a classic!”

And I say, “Nooo, This is a movie that was made in New Zealand about man-eating sheep. IT’S AWESOME!”

At least that is the interaction I have had with every person that I have spoken to about this particular movie. But it really is AWESOME! Imagine, the beautiful New Zealand countryside full of fat contented sheep. But on one particular farm there is illegal genetic engineering going on that, once it gets out of hand, causes 50,000 sheep to run-a-muck tearing innocent people limb from limb because of their sudden and insatiable appetite for human flesh. The heroes of this movie are a an attractive pair (of course). One is a young man with a preexisting sheep phobia and the other a young female animal rights activist named Experience.

The movie, with it’s wonderfully over the top gore is played out completely straight faced while still embracing how ridiculous it’s story is. If you enjoyed Dawn of The Dead or Slither, you will enjoy this flick as well.
