Black Sheep Reviews

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.

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

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

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

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

There are plenty of decent laughs, but the shadow of the far superior British zombie romcom looms large.

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

While it's rarely fall-down hilarious, it's witty enough to please horror fans in search of a light-hearted tribute to splatter flicks of old.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2007

Make up your own sheep-related pun - ewe'll love it, mutton to be ashamed of, ram-bunctious etc. If you only see one zombie sheep movie, you won't have a lot of choice, but this certainly delivers all you could wish for.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2007

The only people who are likely to feel hard done by are vegetarians, farmers and those whose stomachs are weaker than their sense of humour.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2007

The performances may be uneven, but the flawed characters are believable, the sheep surprisingly scary and the animal antics often laugh-out-loud funny.

| Original Score: 4/6 | Oct 10, 2007

Black Sheep is flat-out comic-horror genius...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 31, 2007

This lurid lunacy from New Zealand is a horror-humor cross-breed of animal lore and giddy gore.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 10, 2007

Anyone lacking a taste for red meat will likely say bah to the one-joke juiciness of Black Sheep, but ovine enthusiasts will be licking their chops.

Stunning vistas of New Zealand's rolling countryside aren't enough to carry this lame 2006 horror spoof about a lab experiment gone awry.

| Jul 11, 2007

The most gruesomely satisfying spectacle for hard-core environmentalists would be that of a group of foreign investors in the evil enterprise being gobbled up by a flock of rampaging sheep.

Full Review | Jul 11, 2007

[A] refreshingly fun and over-the-top take on the sickeningly overdone zombie genre.

Full Review | Jul 11, 2007

...Black Sheep never rises above sensation and splatter, or goes beyond the one thing it does best: It bites.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 6, 2007

Black Sheep is never very frightening, but it's clever and fun, with a memorable amount of humor and gore. Imagine if the Monty Python folks made the killer rabbit part from Holy Grail into a full-length movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2007

Like Snakes on a Plane, the whole movie is essentially contained within the title. All the picture itself does is to repeat that concept for 87 minutes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 6, 2007
