Craaaaaaaaaaap!
Possibly the worst film I've seen in years. Not funny and makes no sense! Absolute garbage! Avoid for your own sake!

Mmmmm Mint Sauce
If you have ever seen films like Bad Taste and Brain Damage, then you wil love this film. The New Zealanders really know how to make an amusing, corny horror, yet still manage to make it disgusting at the same time. This is one of those love it or hate it films, there will be no in between. Providing you don't try to take it seriously, and don't care about a storyline, good acting or funny dialogue; providing you appreciate this film for what it is, a very corny, entertaining and gruesome piece of cinema; you should at the very least find it amusing.

Nice surprise
I went to see this as there was nothing better on I hadn't seen and thought it might be ok. I was very pleasantly surprised; the film is fairly low-budget but makes up for it in character.
The film is very much NZ humour, in a similar vein to Bad Taste and Brain Dead by Peter Jackson. Although not quite as funny as these two classics, there are still a good few laugh-out-loud moments and it will delight gore fan's as there is a lot of blood and guts in glourious close-up Tecnicolour.
This film isn't going to win any Oscars but if you're interested enough to have read this review, I would go for it. Switch your brain into neutral and enjoy... -

SHOULD BE BANNED
I am a sheep farmer and this film disgusts me. To make light of what happens when genetic engineering in sheep turns them into blood-thirsty killers is appalling. Some farmers can deal with it, however some have never reared sheep again, thus losing their career. Unfortunately the general public never get a chance to see our job through our eyes, I only wish you could. I urge you not to see this film, this is no joking matter!!!!!

A refreshing relief from Hollywood Horror that takes itself far too seriously!
This is a classic horror comedy (with the emphasis on the comedy). People are attacked by genetically mutated sheep - you cannot take that too seriously. However, it is very well done. The comedy tends to be the dry sort of comedy with some good one liners.
The most obvious comparison is with the cult film 'Brain Dead' made by Peter 'Lord of the Rings' Jackson early in his career (and also in New Zealand). In my opinion, this is better because the plot is more varied and moves at a better pace. I'm sure this film well achieve cult status - it certainly does not deserver to be written off as just another low-budget horror.
The production quality and acting is good (ignore those other review!). It does not have the Hollywood 'gloss' that some people may have come to expect, but that does not diminish the enjoyment of watching it.

Stupid and not so funny
I thought this this would be a stupid funny gross out film but it was just stupid and nothing more. Weak story line bad acting and comedy that just wasnt funny.
If you wanna watch this i recomend you just rent Slither instead. -

try counting sheep after this
If you can get past the gore which is is actually quite funny in the way it is done it's a very amusing film. I just loved the tilt at the greenie/eco warriors and the bit with the cute furry animal is one of cinemas funniest moments for me

Baaaad Sheep!
Not the best acting you'll see but, it's very original, very gorey and very funny. So if you love sheep, zombies and blood, it's the perfect film for you!

It is what it is...
another reviewer said it is like Bad Taste and Braindead. Spot on. If it was made 15 years ago you could bet your boots he would have had something to do with this. Firmly tongue in cheek this film was one i enjoyed. Normally find horrors too boring or formulaic but this one was just f*@£ed up enough to be interesting. If you like straight talking horror you may well be disappointed - but give it a go if you like your films a little different.
