There are 40 million sheep in New Zealand, and they’re pissed off

Black Sheep poster I briefly mentioned Jonathan King’s horror/comedy, Black Sheep way back in October.

Black Magic (via) has more…

Henry Oldsworth is coming back to the family farm — unaware that something baaaad is going on: his brother’s reckless genetic engineering program. Angus is buying is younger brother out, just hours ahead of the unveiling of his ‘ultimate sheep. Terrified of sheep and closed up on therapy, Henry doesn’t want to hang around.

But when a pair of inept environmental activists release a mutant lamb from Angus’s laboratory into the wild, thousands of sheep are turned into bloodthirsty predators. Henry finds himself stranded deep on the farm as his worst nightmare comes to life.

Battling their way to safety, Henry, farmhand Tucker and greenie girl Experience discover there’s worse to come: one bite from an infected sheep transforms people into weresheep!

With Angus infected and sprouting wool, a delegation of international investors gathering at the homestead and a hungry flock descending from the hills, Henry must find the farmer within to defeat his brother, take control of the farm and save New Zealand’s pastures green.

They also have a stack of photos and some very striking concept art. How can you not love a film about killer sheep?
