The outrageous premise alone sold me on this horror comedy but I have to admit I was a tad bit concerned about whether or not they'd be able to pull it off without a hitch! Any worries that I may have had were put to rest not too long into the film!

I swear I have never laughed so hard in my life! I'm happy to report to all you killer sheep fans out there.. These sheep are Baah'd to the Bone! There's excessive amounts of arterial blood spray and gore to galore!

Final Word: What's a female sheep called.. it's also a word one might use when graphic gore comes onscreen?

Answer: EWE

This comedy horror from New Zealand was so much better, funnier and gorier than I remembered. Highly influenced by Shaun of the Dead but with enough of its own thing going on. The effects were super gross at times and the werewolf like transformation towards the end was fan-bloody-tastic!

"What about the sheep?...Fuck the sheep!...No time for that bro. Go go go!"

Black Sheep was, surprisingly, a lot funnier and more entertaining that I thought it was going to be. I've known about this film for a long while, but never watched it because it sounded so ridiculous, plus I have this weird fear of animals non animal things, it freaks me out, A LOT!

But thankfully, there was enough humour and enough, old school 'horror' ie. the gory violence, that was very reminiscent of Evil Dead/Sam Raimi style, that it made the sheep freak me out less.

Good for a few laughs, not scary, but still enjoyable, if not taken seriously :-)

it's not dead man's party

Zombies are a bit like sheep. And here we get further exploration of that observation. Genuinely rather amusing throughout but not exactly setting the world alight either, Black Sheep is a fun experience and a sign of the more impressive horror stuff to come out of New Zealand in more recent years.

I've seen this movie over 6 years ago and the scene where the business man just had sex with one of the sheep still haunts me at night

You see the trailer and you're like "Awwwwww YYYEAAAAA!!!!"
And then you see the movie and you're like "Awww...(sad face) yeah?"

It's nowhere near as manic or wild or fun or funny as it should be. For a MUCH better take on this kind of stupid funny goofy fun idea, look to something like Zombeavers, which takes the goofy premise to all possible ends instead of trying in vain to be a 'real' movie.

It's still entertaining, but it's not worth more than one watch.

"There are 40 million sheep in New Zealand... And they're pissed off!" 
The movie tagline tells you all you need to know about the plot, an incredibly silly but quite fun horror-comedy about mutant zombie sheep in the country turning humans into were-sheep. One moment in particular is incredibly hilarious but it's spoilt by appearing on the film's trailer.
A decent low-budget effort.
6/10

Here’s my Halloween movie!!!!

LOVED THIS MOVIE

I hardly ever laugh out loud at movies when I’m by myself but this film made my CRACK UP...TWICE! Once when the sheep “drives” the truck off a cliff and second at the end (when a man loses his manhood). But with those fucking genius hysterics comes some great ass and creative al gore and as I’ve said before enough passable acting to keep me involved. Turning to sci-fi horror this month has been a blast. I love it. Keep these type films coming.

“I'm not a tree. I'm a fucking sheep!”

Film #17 of Hooptober Cinco

"Ovinophobia, my therapist calls it."

Australia and New Zealand have produced some of the best horror of the 21st century and Black Sheep is no exception. Like Shaun of the Dead with sheep and the slapstick tone of the Evil Dead series. Extremely watchable, very out of the box, and fun all around.
