What it’s About Henry returns to his family’s farm to help him overcome his fear of sheep which he developed fifteen years earlier when his brother pulled an emotionally scarring prank on him. With his brother now in charge, genetically modifying sheep, it isn’t long before the sheep decide to turn on the humans...

The Verdict: This is a fairly entertaining little tale. It is clear that it wishes to be similar in tone to other famous little cheap gore fests from New Zealand like Bad Taste and Dead Alive (Braindead), to a certain degree it succeeds at that, but at the same time it doesn’t...(I sound like I don’t know what I’m on about, but stick with me on this one). Unlike Peter Jackson’s cheap gems, Black Sheep doesn’t hold on the gore overly long and doesn’t really try and maximise much comedic situations out of the gore itself  - so in that respect it doesn’t succeed. The way it does succeed though is it manages to find its own little style which for the most part works quite well. This is where I expand a little to let you know what it’s own little style is - the film is littered with plenty of great one liners (this is where much of the comedy comes from), and tops it all off nicely with some bits of gore here and there (becoming increasingly more as the film goes on). What about this film is stopping it from getting more craptastic stars? Unfortunately it tends to drag a bit as we near the end. Don’t worry yourself! It doesn’t drag a whole lot, just enough to bring its rating down a bit. Surprisingly a lot of the acting is pretty good, with Tammy Davis as Tucker the best and funniest of the lot. The only weak performances here are by Nathan Meister and Danielle Mason who actually play the two main characters Henry and Experience.

A good watch, there’s plenty on offer to enjoy about this movie.

(3 and a 1/2 Craptastic Stars)


Golden Craptastic moment: A great scene driving across the farm in a truck. A killer sheep is in the cab with the driver, creating plenty of tense and hilarious moments. A really funny scene.
