This is a great black comedy where murder, mayhem, and most of all, gore, are told in a tale of ludicrous comedy. I must admit some biasness, I have a fondness for New Zealand, and so I probably look favourably upon NZ films like this one. But this one was truly funny. It's a 7 (from the very first jokes I was laughing, like the activist environmentalist commenting about a salmon farm, "Hey, those fish died free!"), but you have to be in the mood for some fun silliness.
Henry, who decades after his his brother butchered a pet sheep and scared him creating his sheep-phobia, returns to his father's farm to sell his half of the farm to his brother. However, his brother is experimenting with genetic engineered sheep turns his docile flock into killing Franken-sheep. Those that are not killed, are turned into ware-sheep monsters, which is a interesting side effect that the farm scientists are fascinated by!
Henry's brother, Angus, tries to sell his new breed of sheep but when all the buyers are attacked, he flees. Henry, Tucker, a farm worker, and Experience, another environmentalism must battle their away across the farm to raise the alarm, and stop any sheep, and Angus, from escaping to the rest of the country.
I liked this for it's jokes (particularly the ones from new-age eco-friendly environmentalist Experience) and also for the New Zealand slang (such as "Rattle your dags"). I also liked how one of the most dumbest and docile animals is transformed in rampaging deadly hunter deadly killers. The warm relationship between the three heroes and slightly flat acting fit it perfectly. And while there is blood and gore, this is a good comedy. "Mint sauce" - ahahah!
