Have you ever seen a movie so bad, you had to recommend i.docxaryan532920
Have you ever seen a movie so bad, you had to
recommend it to your friends? A movie so bad you liked it
because of how fun it was to watch and make fun of? Black
Sheep wants very badly to be one of those movies. It falls short
for me however, because it also tries to be an actual horror
movie at the same time, lacking the satirical edge a film trying
to mock how awful it is needs. This makes the film rather
monotonous, and you find yourself rooting for the sheep to just
kill everyone already, just so it will all end and you can get on
with your life.
We start out on a lovely New Zealand farm, spread out on a
lovely country side, with a lovely dog, and a lovely pair of
siblings, all frolicking happily together. When the younger boy
Henry goes to the house, the older brother axe murders the
boy’s pet sheep. Then wearing the sheep’s carcass, he hides in
the barn to scare his younger brother. While Henry is on the
ground screaming in terror, the grandmother comes out and
tells them to stop playing around, that there has been an
accident, and their father has been killed. We suddenly jump
years in the future, and meet the adult Henry who now has a
pathological fear of sheep. Already knowing the title of the
film, of course we the viewers know this is going to serve him
well. The first thing I notice, and cannot stop noticing during the entire film, is the horrendous audio
track. It’s not that the audio is bad, it’s that it is too good. It is painfully clear that every line of audio
was recorded in the studio after the fact and over-layed onto the film, leaving everything feeling out of
sync despite the words they are saying being in line with their mouths.

The movie goes on to use all the classic techniques of ridiculous horror movies, but it can never
make up its mind about what it wants to be. I was never able to decide whether or not the director,
Peter King, was trying to make an actual horror film, or if he was trying to parody one. It is clear
horror movies are being made fun of, but the movie never goes into full parody mode. The danger
from these sheep are real, and it goes deeper than just being killed. No it is more like a zombie
plague, where if you get bitten you transform. That’s right, weresheep or sheeple are another real
danger to anyone in the area. It’s so bad it is comedic, and there is some definite comedy, but there is
no real satirical feeling to what is going on. It’s a complete contradiction that prevented me from ever
really getting into the movie.
