Black Sheep (2007)

Summary: Henry returns to the family farm for the first time in fifteen years. Due to childhood trauma where his brother scared him with a sheep carcass, Henry has a fear of sheep. On the farm Angus has been experimenting with genetic engineering to produce a better sheep and wants Henry to sell his half of the farm to him so that he can market the new breed. Meanwhile two protestors have snuck into the farm and one of them, has stolen a flask of genetic waste. But during the pursuit, the flask is shattered, unleashing a mutated sheep fetus that sinks its teeth into Grant and then drags itself on to bite the other sheep. The infected sheep want blood and flesh and humans are the main course!           Overall: I gotta admit, I built this film way too high up for myself. It lives up to most of the hype but did go a bit too far with the plot. I was happy with mutant killer sheep and had it been left at that, it would have been an all-time great. The fact that humans turn into “were-sheep” was the bummer part, a bit too adventurous for the film writers. But still overall, a good, good film and worthy of a viewing. I think the best time for me was when we saw the little sheep crawl pitifully up the hillside, look at an adult normal sheep and go “baaa” so pitifully and sadly, then bite that adult sheep, changing it into a mutant killer sheep. The scene, the “baaa” and frankly, I was in love with the film! Go, go see this!           Comparison: Babe meets Food of the Gods
