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

Black Sheep takes obvious influence from a range of standard monster/zombie movies but achieves some originality thanks to the setting and the fact that the central monsters are sheep. The film fuses comedy and horror well, although it has to be said that some of the jokes don't really land. The horror, on the other hand, is really well done. All the sheep effects are really great and the film doesn't skimp on the gore and more gruesome elements either. The plotting is fairly standard but the comedic tone allows the film to go to the far end of ridiculous without any major problems. The characters are fairly standard fare, except for the character of "Experience", who is a decade ahead of her time! The film rattles along at a good pace and entertains throughout. It's hardly groundbreaking or essential viewing but there are worse ways to spend eighty five minutes of your life.

Spooky Scary Horrorthons 6 - Film #22

A guy from New Zealand returns to his childhood home where he once suffered a traumatic experience with sheep. Once he returns he finds out that his already weird brother is now a business suit who hopes to make shepherding great again with genetically engineered ultra sheep. What follows is a lot of sheep-mayhem across gorgeous landscapes!

I would have wanted far more of the ridiculous gore à la Braindead and a whole lot less of the farming industry conspiracy that quite frankly bored me a lot. But regardless, the semi-frequent bursts of gruesome gore and ridiculous weresheep sequences didn't disappoint. The film also thrives on the New Zealand accents. Literally anything sounds hilarious when spoken by someone from New Zealand.

"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 :-)

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!

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’m a simple man. I see a trailer about a movie with an outlandish premise.... I watch it.

I see a movie about killer sheep????

You bet your sweet ass I watch it.

Wasn't disappointed.

it's not dead man's party

Shorn of the Dead

In The Month of Madness 2020: Horror 101

66/101

I watched this last night and obviously I've slept since then but did I imagine a character offering up his knob as an offering to a zombie sheep or did I eat cheese too close to bedtime again?

Impeccable

Very solid production quality. This horror-comedy didn't really hit the mark on the horror nor comedy aspects.

Speechless.

This could have been more fun. Decent enough with ok sfx. I think I wanted this to be better than it is.

Good fun.  Have a drink and a knee’s up with this one.

Very frustrating having to constantly correct ‘Sheep’ to ‘Sheeps’.

Light-hearted, ridiculous and damn well weird... highly recommended for a cheers easy watch!

Violence of the Lambs.

I actually enjoyed this more than Mank

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen

Aussie Movie Marathon (now including Kiwi films): No. 6

the creature work made me ill which i guess is a good thing.

Got a couple of laughs out of me, but it doesn't lean hard enough into the silliness of it or plays it too straight that i was bored most of the time

Right.
