I try not to make a habit of reviewing films that Big C has mentioned on the site here since I don't want to step on his toes and between the two of us we generally see enough movies that it would be overkill anyway. In the case of Black Sheep I have to make an exception.
Why?
Because the movie is that damn great. It's the Citizen Kane of were-sheep flicks.
If you want to boil it down to it's essence, it may not be the most original concept at it's deepest core (although I defy you to find another were-sheep movie, but if you do please tell me where I can find it), and there are homages-a-plenty here (from Babe to Raiders of the Lost Ark) but the result is a perfectly acceptable way to spend 84 or so minutes. If you saw it and missed the fun, then I'm really, really, sorry for you.
Horror-Comedy is one of those truly specialized sub-categories of the horror genre, and it was nice to see the filmmakers waste no time trying to pander outside the realm they tread. It was gory as hell, funny as all get out, and managed to one up itself in one spectacularly cringe inducing climax... and I mean that.
If you haven't seen the movie I won't bother explaining the plot beyond "Were- sheep. Mayhem ensues." If you dig cheap, gory, funny movies then rest easy knowing Black Sheep gets an Oh Hells Yes from both me and Big C.
