The opening movie of FrightFest 2007 involved sheep.

It all really happened.

New Zealand is a scary place, dont ever go there.

Touche, Mr King.

Black Sheepis, at heart, your basic creature feature.

Take some people, put them in an isolated location, and chuck in a monster to terrify them.

ButBlack Sheepdoes it really, really well.

Instead, its just a really good movie.

The transformation scene that directly referencesAmerican Werewolfis awesome, too.

A sheep may not be an obviously scary animal, but somehow,Black Sheeppulls it off.

The characterisation is spot on, the acting is great, and the prosthetics the prosthetics are amazing.

Theres no CGI here; its all done the old-fashioned way, and it looks great as a result.

I honestly cant remember the last time I went to the cinema and enjoyed a film this much.
