The folks over at Black-magic, an excellent source for news on the New Zealand film industry btw, scored a couple stills of the horror/comedy Black Sheep. The story involves a vast amount of genetic defected sheeps from an experiment gone wrong and its going on a killing rampage in the quiet town of New Zealand. Sounds interesting in a cheesy, yet fun sort of way. There have been horror movies on many type of animals- dogs, birds, spiders, giant snakes, alligators, sharks and the list goes on but who would thought of a harmless sheep would work in a horror movie? Several concept artworks from FX company, Weta Workshop can be found here.
There is also a still from another Kiki horror film, The Ferryman, featuring John Rhys Davies and Lawrence Makoare from Lord of the Rings.
UPDATE: More stills here courtesy of Fangoria.com
Is it wrong for a man to love sheep. Because I have just fallen in love. To doubters I say Baaaaaah. Sheep Rule!
And you may be surprised to know its not even the first movie to feature Killer Sheep - that honour goes to THE GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS.
Checking the Something Weird website we learn that "Gaseous vapors from an ancient mine cause the birth of a huge squeeling embryo, which is taken to the laboratory of a local mad doctor where it grows into a monstrous 8-foot mutant sheep. Got that? an 8-foot mutant sheep! Meanwhile, the racist mayor of an historic Wild West tourist town attempts to thwart the efforts of a black man buying real estate by attempting to lynch him! Plans go awry, however when the gial wool-covered Lamb from Hell escapes from the doctor’s lab and starts waddling across the countryside. Spewing an orange phosporous gas, the semi-prehistoric GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS terrifies the population, blows up a gas station, and even "dances" with a deranged hippie chick until it’s lassoed by cowboys. The mayor then startles everyone by puttin "the damaged mongoloid beast" on display as "The 8th Wonder of the World"!
Starring cult facorite Stuart Lancaster (Mantis in Lace) as the malignant Mayor Silverdale, filmed in Virginia City, Nevada (as actual U.S. national historical monument!), and mixing science fition, satire, and politics, the ultra-obscure GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS is easily on of the weirdest, wackiest, oddball monster movies ever made."
So maybe there is still hope someone will eventually fund my script about man-eating giraffes?
