Black Sheep is due in theaters on June 22. This oddball horror comedy from down under is basically about cute fluffy sheep. Well not so cute after some sort of experiments and crazy new breeding program. Winner of numerous awards this flick has been getting good reviews all over the festivals and it looks surprisingly good to me as well. Horror comes in all sizes and shapes now…even sheep!
Check out the synopsis, stills from the movie, and trailers below…
Synopsis:
Terrified of sheep and dosed up on therapy, Henry Oldfield (Nathan Meister) returns to his family’s farm to sell out to his older brother Angus (Peter Feeney), unaware that something baaaad is going on: Angus’ reckless genetic engineering program.
When a pair of inept environmental activists release a mutant lamb from Angus’ laboratory onto the farm, thousands of sheep are turned into bloodthirsty predators. Along with farmhand Tucker (Tammy Davis) and greenie girl Experience (Danielle Mason), Henry finds himself stranded deep on the farm as his worst nightmare comes to life.
Battling their way to safety the intrepid trio discover there’s worse to come: one bite from an infected sheep seems to have alarming effect on those bitten …
With Angus acting suspiciously sheepish, a delegation of international investors gathering at the homestead and a ravenous flock descending from the hills, Henry must find the farmer within to wrest control of the farm from his monstrous brother, defeat an ovine invasion and save New Zealand’s pastures green.
