Wow, I am so glad my friend Lak lent this to me, I had been hearing that the boys from WETA wanted to do a zombie film, but this is oh so much better than it could have been. I mean Zombie Sheep, how can you beat that, especially with PEter Bluck’s gorgeous cinematography. Gore, Guts, great characters and a whole lot of fun. This movie has it all and is a must see!!!!

Henry Oldfield (Nathan Meister) is returning home to the family sheep farm, though he is deathly afraid of sheep, but his psychologist thinks it will do him good. And he is planning on selling his share in the farm to his brother Angus (Peter Feeney), but Angus may not be up to anything good. Also sneaking into the farm are two environmentalist, the beautiful Experience (Danielle Mason) and Grant (Oliver Driver) who want to get evidence of Angus’s and Dr. Rush (Tandi Wright). The two do-gooders see them dumping some waste goods into a whole, and Grant runs out and grabs a canister, which has a strange sheep embryo in it. They run and get separated and Grant drops the canister and the disturbing embryo comes to life and bites him. Meanwhile Henry signs the deal with Angus, who is holding a business meeting to show off his super sheep, and sends Henry out with his old friend, the Ranch hand Tucker (Tammy Davis). While out the sheep start acting strange and attack them, and Tucker gets bit, but they also save Experience. ANd Angus runs into Grant who is looking more and more sheep like and who bites him.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS….

They want to escape, but end up realizing Tucker’s foot has turned into a sheep hoof, and they end up at the lab, where Dr. Rush gets her hands on Tucker, and Angus shows up with a gun, and chases Henry and Experience until they get surrounded by the deadly sheep (though they ignore Angus who has been bit) and end up falling into the waste disposal whole, which luckily is connected to a cave, but the sheep are hot on their heals. Meanwhile Angus has gone off to his investors meeting to show off his new sheep, and Dr. Rush has cured Tucker with a shot from the other embryos, and he has managed to escape.

Henry gets bit on the foot, but they manage to escape through the tunnels and get to the old housekeeper Mrs Mac (Glenis Levestam) and her gun, just as the sheep man Grant attacks them.

At the unveiling, the sheep calls to the other killer sheep, and they come and attack and take out all the humans there, except Angus whose hand turns into a sheep.

Henry sends out Mrs. Mac with Experience, but he goes back to get Angus who is going to escape in his biplane, and spread the disease, and he realizes that the sheep don’t hurt him because he has been bit, and fights Angus, and luckily Tucker shows up with the antidote and they hit Angus with the propeller, but he wants to get bit again, but they have driven the sheep into the barn and they explode the sheep farts and kill all the sheep.

They then use the antidote to bring back the turned humans including Grant, and they decide to turn the farm into an Organic farm to please Experience.
