Black Sheep
Review by Jeff

Directed by: Jonathan King

Starring:
Nathan Meister/Henry Oldfield
Danielle Mason/Experience
Peter Feeney/Angus Oldfield
Tammy Davis/Tucker

Plot:
Henry Oldfield returns to the family sheep farm on Glenolden Station for the first time in fifteen years. Due to a childhood trauma where his brother Angus scared him with a sheep carcass, Henry has a pathological fear of sheep. On the farm Angus has been experimenting with genetic engineering to produce a better sheep and wants Henry to sell his half of the farm to him so that he can market the new breed. Meanwhile two environmental protestors have snuck into the farm and one of them, Grant, has stolen a flask of genetic waste product. But during the pursuit, the flask is shattered, unleashing a mutated sheep fetus that sinks its teeth into Grant and then drags itself on to bite the sheep in the paddock. Grant starts to mutate, grow hooves and develops a taste for animal flesh. Meanwhile the infected sheep turn bloodthirsty and turn on humans, tearing them apart and devouring them. Henry, the other protestor Experience and the farm manager Tucker are forced to flee across the fields, pursued by mutant killer sheep.

Acting:
The acting in this film is ok, Nathan Meister(Henry) is likeable but to be is kind of boring for a lead role, Danielle Mason(Experience) does a good job with her role and is probably the best actor/actress in the film, the rest of the cast is ok just nothing much to say about them.

Gore:
The gore was well done and looks damn good, we get tons of biting and gunshots, and some other stuff I don’t want to spoil.

T & A:
Not a thing here unless your into sheep, if that’s the case have fun with this flick.

Directing:
Jonathan did a ok job making this a dark humor horror flick, he had some good camera shots and the film looked real nice.

Soundtrack:
We get a silly kind of corny score that tells you not to take this movie serious.

Final thoughts:
I know where they were trying to go with this film as a dark comedy horror flick but I just didn’t dig it, I thought a lot of the jokes were pretty lame, and I just didn’t care. The film had great gore scenes and it’s shot nice but just wasn’t my cup of tea mate. I give it a 4/10.
