Don't believe the other movie reviewers
Black Sheep is actually worth the watch. Although I counted three people walking out during the screening I saw, whether they were grossed out or just thought it shite, I don't know. It's the film that Peter Jackson would have made if he hadn't have gone all serious on us and was still making the spatter comedies that made his name. Hell, the first infection scene was totally stolen from his Braindead. Let's be blunt about it, if you don't like colonial humour; skewed science; over the top gore and big monsters that are frankly a bit rubbish, this isn't your movie. But if you're like me, then it is. All it was missing was the "Wingnut Film Presents" at the opening credits that used to get a drunken cheer from our fifteen lads at the late night showings after the pub. And it's amusing just how menacing an ordinary sheep can look if you just change your mindset about what it's thinking about you and what it fancies for lunch.
Anyhow.... any film that uses the tag line "violence of the lambs" is alright by me. This is a "buy on DVD the day it comes out" film. It's just too damned silly not to. And for the post movie drink? It was off to the Royal Oak for a pint of Black Sheep bitter of course. Had to be done. I'm unable to resist such naffness.
