Originally reading in some reviews that this movie was a terrible knock- off of Edgar Wright's terrific Zom-Com Shaun Of The Dead,I decided to at last pick up the super-cheap DVD,when I saw a short clip of the film,which made it look,that it was worth "becoming a sheep" and taking a look at the attack of the woolly jumpers.
The plot:
Returning 15 years after running away from his town due to the tragic death of his father,and also due to his brother (Angus Oldfield) killing Henry's much-loved pet sheep. (which led to Grant developing a phobia about being round sheep at all) Henry's decided to pay a final visit to the town,so that he can give his brother all of the rights to the family farm.
Unknown to Henry,Angus has been secretly using the farm to genetically create the "ultimate Sheep".Attempting to throw their latest failed attempts away,Angus and his group of scientist are caught by surprise,when two Eco-warriors, (Grant and Expiriance) appear and run off with a half dead embryo,which soon leads to the residents of the sleepy village into transforming in a bunch of murderous,mutated sheep.
View on the film:
Along with Nathan Meister's sweet reluctant hero,and Peter Freeney pure boo-hiss villainy as Angus Oldfield,the cute Danielle Mason shines in every scenes she's in as over kooky,"Awe shucks" echo-warrior Expireance,who Mason does well at showing go from a pulling at heart strings Eco-warrior,into becoming a gun toting,Sheep killing machine!
Whilst the movie does have an echo message at the centre of it,writer/director Jonathan King makes sure that "the message" never gets in the way of the terrific, hilarious gory laughs on offer.Showing the tremendous visual effects by Weta in their full blood & guts glory.King impressively makes sure that the "invasion" of the sheep never becomes boring by introducing a new element to the story at the perfect interval,from the Sheep suffering from a bad case of methane gas,to a savage and hungry An American Werewolf-inspired WereSheep.
Sadly,after having used the first hour of the movie to build up to an epic man v monster Sheep final,King instead,unbelievably has the ending go to a painfully unfunny "and that's it" super-quick ending,which sadly puts a large stain on an otherwise far from sheepish Horror Comedy.
