Black Sheep

• Horror
• Comedy

A darkly comedic horror film set amidst the rolling hills of New Zealand, *Black Sheep* unfolds as a hilariously gruesome tale of genetic modification gone wrong. The narrative centers on a prodigal daughter’s reluctant return to her family’s sheep farm, only to discover a horrifying secret: her eccentric uncle’s experimental breeding program has unleashed a flock of aggressively carnivorous sheep upon the countryside. Beyond the escalating sheep-induced mayhem, the film subtly explores themes of familial resentment and environmental consequences, presented with a distinctly deadpan, absurdist tone. The pervasive sense of dread is consistently punctured by slapstick violence and purposefully over-the-top gore, creating a uniquely unsettling yet undeniably funny experience that elevates the animal horror subgenre with its bizarre premise and unapologetic silliness.
