Short version: Don’t wear white when watching this wonderfully crafted first feature film from Jonathan “we need more blood” King.

Picture if you will, scenic green hills next to a panoramic view of the ocean, beautiful orchestrated music, and mutant flesh-eating sheep.

It could happen and it does in the New Zealand import Black Sheep (2006). In New Zealand, the sheep out-number the humans so a movie like this was just begging to be made and thankful for us, that person was writer/director Jonathan King.

A young man named Henry (Nathan Meister) returns to his family’s ranch in order to sell off his share of the business to his older brother Angus (Peter Feeney). But instead of the quick transaction he imagines and (he arrives in a taxi and tells the driver to wait) he gets sucked into a weird journey that will take him through his own personal hell.
