Coming from Australia I understand that sheep is a major part of life in New Zealand, and know that sheep out number people by a long shot.
With that background knowledge, I thought I caught most of the dry humor movie presented in this movie.
The cinematography is great with many dark in door shots contrasted with the grassy fields of New Zealand. This juxtaposition created great atmospheric contrast and made the darker scenes all the more grim. The movie is visceral not shying away from limbs being torn off, and necks being torn to shreds.The SFX are pretty good for most of the part, but some of the monsters are obviously a man in a suit, and that broke the illusion quite a bit.
The writing is interesting, there are some formula plotting and clichés in this movie,but considering it seems to satirize horror movies they are employed quite well. The characters are very quirky but can be empathized. The humor is very dark using the purity of sheep and turning them into demonic beings from hell itself. However the humor (I thought) was very dry and only people from the oceanic region may understand it.
A good movie that deserves a look if one is bored, and is in a mood for watching over the top gore caused in a very comical manner.
6.6/10
