Black Sheep
There are over 40 million sheep in New Zealand, and they're pissed off!
Directed by Jonathan King
Produced by New Zealand Film Commission, Live Stock Films
A gleefully absurd creature-feature that weaponizes sheep as grotesque horror while maintaining a tongue-in-cheek comedic tone throughout.
After a childhood prank by his brother Angus causes Henry to develop a phobia of sheep, he must step up to the onslaught of a genetically-mutated man-eating flock with the help of his friend and a young environmentalist.
