The funniest, bloodiest movie you'll see this year

One of the most interesting movies I have seen in recent times, and I have seen quite a few, is this film from New Zealand called Black Sheep. A veritable gem of a movie, it's a twist on the conventional zombie movie. And what a twist it is.


The basic plot is about how thanks to a couple of over-zealous members of an anti-animal testing group some toxic genetic material from a test facility at a farm is accidentally spilled, leading to the normally docile, positively dumb sheep turning into cunning carnivores. And there's a fair bit of comedy too. It's not quite in the same league as Shawn of the Dead - not that it tries to be - but the mixture of gore and comedy is still refreshing. Mix a man who has a morbid fear of sheep, his brother who is a singularly money-minded selfish bastard, a woman who has a solution in feng shui for every problem and a whole lot of fluffy, evil sheep bent on eating up every human being around, and you can't go wrong with your movie, can you?
