BLACK SHEEP (Not the chris farley david spade one)

KYGOTC · August 10, 2007, 12:27:51 AM

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.

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 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!
