    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...

    Not great, but good fun.

    A lightweight, but fun movie reminiscent of Peter Jackson's earlier works (such as Bad Taste and Brain Dead).

    On the downside, the script could be tighter and the acting verges on amateur. But then, if you're renting a movie about 'genetically-modified killer sheep' and expecting Oscar worthy material, you should probably be letting someone else do the choosing.

    This is gory in all the right places and is peppered with Kiwi black humour through-out. It's the perfect Friday night movie to enjoy with friends and popcorn.

    So Pathetic .. I had to laugh at it

    This film has got to be one of the worst films of the year, BUT, because of that it also has to be one of the funniest of the year.

    I wont spoil it be telling you some of the things .. just watch it ...

    has to have 5 stars for originality if nothing else...

    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.
