Review of Black Sheep (2010) by Johnny T — 16 Mar 2011
Black Sheep is never very frightening, but it's clever and fun, with a memorable amount of humor and gore. It manages the weird feat of making a flock of sheep bounding across a meadow seem vaguely menacing. The cartoonish overkill that often makes Black Sheep a hoot proves wearying over an entire movie: The broad comedy and one-note characters eventually cancel out the horror, leaving elaborate set pieces that are more frantic than funny. If you're in the mood for black comedy - especially if you enjoyed Shaun Of The Dead - this is shear enjoyment. It's simply a joyful, bloody riot from start to finish. Horror buffs in search of a fresh take on the usual grue should embrace it wholeheartedly.
VERDICT: "Matinée" - (Mixed reaction). These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says to pay matinée prices to see at a theatre or buy an ex rental or a cheap price the DVD to own.
