It's an angry foetal sheep!
A complete scene from Jonathan King's Black Sheep has turned up online and it's the beginning of the wooly apocalypse!
Black Sheep Scene (Embedded Flash)
you already posted this? http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/007486.html
Nope. There are some clips from this bit embedded in that link as part of a news report but this is the actual scene.
I don't like how they are playing it for laughs. If they had played it straight and tried to make a genuenly scary horror film about killer sheep and keep the violence over the top then they might have something.
But I'll guess I'll just have to wait and see.
As has been mentioned in the two reviews on the site, this film is purely in DEAD ALIVE (or BRAINDEAD if you prefer) mode, in fact it could easily be considered the most loving hommage to Peter Jackson's seminal splatter show, even more so than the many lesser imitators (Evil Aliens, Undead, etc.) It is very, very fun to watch, and has one of the most purely refined senses of comic timing I've ever seen in a movie of this type, but it is no 'classic' due to, well, it coming second (...third if you consider Bad Taste) in the NZ industry.
All right then. It's just that I find sheeps very creepy animals and I think it could be easy to make them meneacing. The Dark pulled it off a little bit.
Have you caught the UK/Irish co-production ISOLATION? There the animal husbandry stuff is extra creepy, and nothing is played for laughs...It a pretty damn good film.
No I haven't. It's one of the films I'm looking forward to see. Is it out yet on DVD?
Available since july in the netherlands:
Can't wait. Sheep R Us. Haven't been to the movies in a while but will definatley make the effort for this film. BBBBBAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
