BLACK SHEEP - PECORE ASSASSINE
Black Sheep
Nelle verdi praterie neozelandesi, la centenaria fattoria Glenolden è ora gestita dai fratelli Angus e Henry Oldfield. Angus, allo scopo di migliorare le condizioni di vita dei vari contadini, effettua degli studi scientifici da applicare all'agricoltura. Gli esperimenti sfuggono al suo controllo e trasformano le innocue pecore della fattoria in bestie assassine assetate di sangue.Il fratello di Angus, Henry, che vive lontano dalla fattoria a causa una fobia proprio nei confronti degli ovini, torna per vendere la sua parte di fattoria, essendo all'oscuro di quello che sta succedendo.Henry, assieme al fattore Tucker e all'animalista Experience, dovrà trovare il modo di uscire da questo incubo, lottando con ogni mezzo per difendersi da quelli che una volta erano animali mansueti e ora sono mostri il cui morso può avere effetti mostruosi.

Ovinaphobia in Wairarapa!
Black Sheep, written and directed by Jonathan King is a wonderfully kooky horror comedy filmed out of New Zealand. Premise is simple, genetic tampering by unstable farmer man-child type has produced psychotic zombie sheep who like to chow down on human flesh. If you are "lucky" to still be alive after being bitten, you turn into a human/sheep hybrid - who likes to chow down on human flesh! All inhabitants of this island are doomed unless three spunky young heroes in waiting can overcome monumental odds and save the day!
With effects done by Weta being no bad thing, Black Sheep is a whole bunch of popcorn munching fun. Many of the jokes aren't really surprising but they hit the mark because the comedy is drawn nice and broad. It helps as well that much of it carries a sense of mischievous depravity about it, while the snarky asides to scientists and tree hugging environmentalists shows King to have a semblance of world awareness about him. The cinematography (Richard Bluck) is gorgeous, capturing the magnificent landscapes as a backdrop to the ovine carnage, and Victoria Kelly's musical score is jovial supreme.
Nothing earth shattering here, so those horror/comedy fans who venture in for the first time expecting otherwise will be disappointed. However, at under 90 minutes in length King's movie never once sags in pace or gasp for new comedic air. It's a short sharp shocker of a rib tickler and well worthy of a look if in the requisite mood. 7/10
