Black Sheep

New Zealand

This was a hoot. Genetically altered monster sheep. Perfect for NZ.

Set up as a standard monster thriller it worked its one joke beautifully, gradually escalating the violence until it approached Peter Jackson (Dead/Alive) territory. Non-stop action helped bury the cartoonish nature of the film. They set out to make a fun film, stirred in a little social commentary for spice and succeeded.

Beautiful landscapes, excellent make-up/gore work. Thanks, folks.
