The triumphant return of modern farming industry gone terribly wrong, as previously evidenced by Isolation.
One of those great movies where you get what you're expecting and more. Evil scientists doing genetic manipulation, hilarous sheep action sequences, blood & gore by the bucket, and sheep-based humor at every possible point. What you get that you're likely not expecting is brilliantly written dialogue.
It's surprising how threatening a sheep can be!
Last year's Isolation was a movie about genetically modified (and therefore evil) cows getting lose on a farm and the happless farmers and city-folk that have to fight them. Black Sheep is essentially the same movie, but with sheep (which is automatically much funnier), but played for laughs, camp and gross-out.
After a traumatic sheep-related scare at the hands of his brother, a young New Zelander boy leaves the farm for city life. As an adult he returns to the farm just long enough (he has the taxi leave the meter running) to collect a cheque from his brother, selling out his share. Wouldn't you know it, it's the one day the evil brother is unvieling his new genetically modified sheep breed, and the one day animal rights activists invade the farm, trying to get evidence of unwholesome science, but accidentally releasing unwholesome science in to the general flock. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!
After that, it's your basic zombie movie, but with sheep instead of the undead. It's hilarious, gross, and a perfect Midnight Maddness movie.
