Plot

A sheep farmer in New Zealand has been genetically altering his flock turning the passive and furry creatures into crazed man-eating carnivores. Why didn't the Pythons think of this?

Pros

It's not often that comedy and horror are effectively combined in a film but this pulls it off. You have all the blood and gore you expect from a good horror film but some silliness also considering the vicious creatures causing all this havoc happen to be sheep. Throw in a very lovely New Zealand countryside and the fact that WETA (yes, the same people that did the Lord of the Rings movies) did the special effects and you have a visually enjoyable film. Here are the main characters; the evil brother that is in charge of the farm and genetic tests, the good brother who came back to sell his portion of the farm that happens to be scared of sheep and the lovely animal rights activist that gets caught in the middle.

Recommendation

Come on people, this movie is about KILLER sheep! How cool is that? It's a well done horror movie with very nice special effects that didn't take itself so seriously that it forgot to have some fun along the way.

Henry: You f*cker!
Angus: Actually it was a sperm sample.
Henry: You Wanker!
