RE: Black Sheep (film): Well, we already saw this
Black Sheep is the story of a farm boy in New Zealand who must defend others from a hoard of genetic, pissed-off sheep that kill people. That is the exact premise of this film, and it is played completely straight forward, but it is in a good way, and I'm not saying this in the sense of "oh, look how wierd and fucked-up the people of New Zealand are". This is probably the best animal attack film to date, and that really is saying something. What is fantastic about the film is the humor. It is very well written and you could tell that both the screenwriter and director get it. However, they do not go about the humor by making ti an excuse, in other words, making a bad film on purpose. This director truly wanted to make this film for the simple sake of making it, and you could tell that everyone involved enjoyed it. This film is rediculously and absurdly gory, to the point that you laugh at the ways that the sheep kill people. I'm not kidding about this; They rip a girl's arm off, a guys legs off, tear out a guy's intestines, and rip off a man's lips. It is hysterically gory and you will most likely enjoy it.
One of the interesting things about this film is the makeup and effects. Most of these effects were practical, so only a small part of it was filmed on an actual bluescreen. I got an idea of the effects after watching the making of this, and it is easy to say that Weta (the same FX company that worked on Lord of the Rings, District 9 and Rise of the Planet of the Apes) is the best company in the film industry. They actually managed to created reallistic-looking sheep from scratch, and they also managed to get the details of what a human/sheep would look like. No other company would have been able to do what they did here. What is surprising about this film is that I learned something about sheep; they are those kind of animals that try to act majestic. You know, they've got their chest puffed out, and their legs are positioned right. But they can't help but look around, blink and lick their lips every once in a while.
So, this is a fantastic film for what it was trying to do, and it is a must-see for b-horror fans. Hoo yeauh.... Hoo yeauh
