Just got back from seeing this one at the theatre. Deffinatly not dissipointing, but I've seen more fufulling monster movies.
Mutant/zombie/weresheep are running amuk in a small farm in New Zeland and it's up to a sheephobia-induced farm boy and his hippie girlfriend, Experience (What the hell kind of name is "EXPERIENCE"? friggin hippies.) to terminate the virus from "flocking". (bad pun).
What i really dug about this one is that they used puppets and real make-up for the monsters instead of CGI, which is rare these days.
Go see this one. It's really good. I dont really know what else to say. :thumbup:

is it me or is the premise of this movie too ridiculous? Mutant sheep on a bloodthirsty rampage?
As I said in the other thread about it, it is certainly worth viewing, but the shadow of Braindead hangs rather heavily above it.
Do this film in a double feature with Godmonster of Indian Flats. Or would that be babababad?

Oh what a movie can't be ridiculous. If they couldn't be outragish we'd only have about five or six b-movies. Lighten up and have some fun.

Why is that?
the premise of farm animals going crazy reminds me of the horror movie Isolation (http://'http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446719/') which is about some genetically altered cows and is worth checking out.
Just briefly on the idea that the premise is ridiculous: The idea is based on both the longstanding joke [in Australia at least] and fact that in New Zealand there are more Sheep than people...
Ridiculous? Not a chance. That fact alone is scary enough...

Well, there are a lot of Jackson-esque ideas in it (not surprising, as his company was involved): how the whole thing started, with a bite from a disgusting creature, the use of food to gross out the public, the general style and behaviour of the sheep and sheep-zombies (shombies?). I'm not saying it is a Bad Thing, but is clear where the inspiration lies.

I defy anyone to watch Bad Taste or Braindead and NOT be inspired!
