Review of Black Sheep (2010) by Brett M — 30 May 2009

Watching this right after Drag Me to Hell? Not a good idea, as it makes the already disappointing Black Sheep look even weaker in comparison. Black Sheep has a great premise - mutated killer sheep - and there are moments of scattered brilliance with this.

But as a whole, the movie feels unremarkable and forgettable. For every great shot of sheep herds with ominous music, there's a dozen generic sheep attacks, and despite the impressive looking creature design, it's not enough to deal with bland characters and an overall lack of fun.

Really, this needs someone willing to push it to extremes - a Raimi or a Jackson - and while there's promise here, it's not enough to make it fully succeed.
