Gore and blood supply the film’s main attractions, whereas humor and characters are secondary, if not wholly nonexistent.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 8, 2024

A heap of fun. In the vein of modern B-movie classics like Tremors and Arachnophobia, Black Sheep never takes itself too seriously

| Jul 2, 2021

They used to say New Zealand was the land where men are men, and the sheep are nervous. That equation may be reversed forevermore after this very entertaining Kiwi horror-comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2020

A genre mash-up... director Jonathan King's first feature doubles as a fable about two grown brothers and triples as a fresh national myth for his native New Zealand.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 25, 2019

Part sheep revenge fantasy, part cautionary tale about ram-pant capitalism and the naivety of activism, this is a shear delight. Yes it's funny, but ewe wool be scared once things get really offal. Who will survive, and who will be for the (lamb) chop?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2018

This woolly mix of hilarity and horror works best when played for baaad laughs. One thing is sure - it will put you off doner kebabs for life.

If there was a list of movies about killer mutated sheep, this would undoubtedly be the best of the bunch.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Brisk, rambunctious splatter-comedy

| Aug 27, 2009

Lush photography of the beautiful New Zealand hills combines with skin ripping mayhem and over-the-top humor to make one of the funniest of the new wave zombie satires yet.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

It's a lively affair, extremely violent, full of black humour and what might be called shear terror.

Pera ap' to concept toy, kai dyotreis eksarseis stin ekseliksi toy, par' oti fainetai polla yposhomeno to Black Sheep den ehei na dosei kai polla oyte sti splateria oyte stin komodia poy prepei na pantrepsei

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 14, 2007

A raucously hysterical romp by some seriously twisted filmmakers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 12, 2007

The farce maintains a rollicking pace and the performances are more accomplished and likeable than a film of this sort generally musters.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 12, 2007

Good, camp fun.

| Oct 12, 2007

Flock to this if ewe want a bloody laugh.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 12, 2007

The jokes don't quite stay the course, but writer-director Jonathan King generates far too much goodwill for you to mind.

| Oct 12, 2007

Once the novelty wears off, we're left with a poorly-made black comedy with plenty of gore but little suspense and even fewer laughs.

| Oct 12, 2007

Shaun of the Dead has set the bar pretty high for this sort of thing; Black Sheep just isn't nearly as funny or suspenseful.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 12, 2007
