In a rural farm town in New Zealand you’d expect to find sheep, but would you expect to find zombie weresheep? I would. But I’ve been told I watch far too many horror films. This isn’t true, but I digress.
Character development is pretty obvious this time around; our cowardly character becomes the hero and his evil brother is black to the core. Personally I don’t mind when a movie doesn’t try to give me any false hope. Black Sheep is what it is and gets right to the point. Why bother pissing around with pesky character development when you can just stick to the status quo and give the people what they really want.
Of course, when it comes to many horror fans, what they really want is blood, guts and gore. So blow off some heads (shotguns are my absolute favourite for this kind of thing), toss in some people being ripped apart (by sheep) and how about some lab experiments to explain just what the hell is going on!
And now that I come to that point, just what the hell is going on? We have no set rules when it comes to weresheep. While I can extrapolate that it’s something similar to zombies or werewolves (shot to the head/silver bullet) the movie never really goes overboard in its explanations. I like this.
Watch it, it’s not half baaaad. (Sorry.)
