Why so much hype?

To me, this movie is perfection.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Baaaaaaaaaa stards. Lamb Brusco the bad attitude alcoholic Sheep.

I have seen worse. I have seen B-. I have seen crazy. So I was not surprised that I could sit through a movie which is a bit of all - more of the latter. A mostly grotesque & violent treatment with occasional cocky humor packaged into a preposterous plot line and best of all - plays it straight.Henry Oldfield (Nathan Meister) has left his countryside farm after his father's death and an incident which left him scared of sheep. He returns 15 years later to collect his share of the estate after his brother Angus Oldfield (Peter Feeney) an award winning farmer. When all seems going to plan, he stumbles on a nature loving girl Experience (Danielle Mason) who is out to expose Angus's illegal genetic experiments on sheep. When a hazardous genetic sample goes into the wrong hands and let lose, it causes mayhem by turning the entire herd into zombie version of the sheep.I reserve my comments on the overall performances - not sure if they were playing cocky or straight or intentionally goofy at times. Credit goes to the director who seems to know his way around creating slick tense scenes which is effectively edited and decently presented. The photography while being orthodox, still presents the lush landscapes of New Zealand country sides as beautiful as they are. CGI is still quite expensive during its making, so credit also goes into shooting the scenes where the sheep munches on what looks like human insides. The short run-time does a great job in not exhausting the viewer who probably would have started to think how ridiculous this movie actually is had it gone any longer.A par B movie that took this crazy premise as extreme as it could.

Blond New Zealand sheep-farm inheritor Nathan Meister (as Henry Oldfield) has sheep-phobia, probably due to the incident in the opening sequence. He considers selling his share in the farm to the "Black Sheep" of the family, brunet brother Peter Feeney (as Angus), who is conducting secret experiments on the sheep. Best supporting actor Tammy Davis (as Tucker) wants to help Mr. Meister conquer his demons. Arriving on the scene are attractive Danielle Mason (as Experience) and freaky partner Oliver Driver (as Grant), a pair of animal rights activists. She shows off a nice figure with her backpack strap. He breaks a container of baby sheep, which can turn animals and sheep into werewolf-type monsters...***** Black Sheep (9/10/06) Jonathan King ~ Nathan Meister, Peter Feeney, Tammy Davis, Danielle Mason

Disgusting, entertaining, lots of gore, cool mutant sheeps, and a deep message for modern society. I enjoyed "Black Sheep" because I took it for what it is: a fun movie that shouldn't be taken seriously. It offers violence, black humor and plenty of references to Horror movies (loved specially the "Night of the Living Dead" and "The Shining" tributes).It may not appeal for everyone but it surely ranks high on entertainment factors.Watch it and enjoy. It's mindless but gory fun.P.S. I love the blonde girl. She's dumb looking for that's my kind of girl.
