Movie review - "Black Sheep" (2007) ***
Some of this is pure comic nirvana, such as scenes of terrified humans fleeing hordes of flesh-eating sheep galloping over the hills. It helps being a Kiwi film, too - if it was Australian it wouldn't be quite as funny (cute little New Zealand seems a lot more natural to breed monsters). Plenty of gore and humour - not quite in the class of Bad Taste but better made and more polished acting, etc. It lacks a third act twist - it feels as though it needs the introduction of a new element or something (a government official, a sheep hunter or something like that), and it's a shame the most charismatic likeable member of the cast, the Maori bloke, goes missing for large slabs of the film.
