DAY 84: November 23rd, 2008.
Black Sheep
No, this isn't the comedy film starring Chris Farley and David Spade, but rather a horror film that fails to mix the comedy genre successfully, even when it should have been easy considering the content of the film.
To sum up the film it's about sheep that have been experimented on and they turn blood thirsty. The film obviously had potential to be really funny, but the filmmakers missed the mark. I chuckled once or twice, but that was it. Shot in New Zealand, it brings back memories of better comedy/horror flicks, such as Brain Dead and Bad Taste. I guess when you have a talented guy like Jackson behind the camera it makes a big difference.
Black Sheep has poor production values. At times the sound came and went and the video quality reminded me of the film Undead, that amateur shot on digital video type feel. That, mixed with an unfunny script and poor actors makes this film a pain to watch. It's not original or fresh, which is sad because it tries to be, really badly. But we've seen it all before. The mutation from man to sheep isn't even that good.
I guess if you like your gore, more specifically sheep eating people, and the type of comedy where a sheep ends up driving a truck off a cliff, go ahead an rent this, everyone else stay away.
