Sheep-fearing Henry (Nathan Meister) returns to his brother's (Peter Feeney) New Zealand farm, hoping his sibling will buy out his share of the property. However, what he finds are genetically altered sheep that prey on humans and turn their victims into undead, woolly killers. Shear madness ensues as Henry, an animal-rights activist (Danielle Mason) and a farmhand (Tammy Davis) set out to stop the rampaging animals.

Critics Consensus

With an outrageous premise played completely straight, Black Sheep is a violent, grotesque, and very funny movie that takes B-movie lunacy to a delirious extreme.

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

The farce maintains a rollicking pace and the performances are more accomplished and likeable than a film of this sort generally musters.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Gore and blood supply the film’s main attractions, whereas humor and characters are secondary, if not wholly nonexistent.

Rated: 2/4

A heap of fun. In the vein of modern B-movie classics like Tremors and Arachnophobia, Black Sheep never takes itself too seriously

Herald Sun (Australia)

They used to say New Zealand was the land where men are men, and the sheep are nervous. That equation may be reversed forevermore after this very entertaining Kiwi horror-comedy.

Rated: 3/5

After coming back to this movie in 2023 it just wasn't the same. Although I did enjoy it as a kid. Kinds freaked me out but it's a funny as movie.

Whether you'll like Black Sheep largely depends on how funny you find its central joke (using sheep as a horror antagonist). Personally, the cast and crew won me over with their enthusiastic dedication to taking the film seriously and following its premise to (il)logical extremes.

Utterly ludicrous but with plenty of humour and over the top gore, anyone who likes Peter Jackson's early films will love this. Sadly it falls over at the end with weak d*ck and f*rt gags and a need to somehow resurrect a lot of people, but it's still great fun.
