I really enjoyed this film I thought it was well directed and acted it wasn't "scary" in the traditional horror movie sense but this one left you feeling tense and uncomfortable throughout which is a refreshing change from your typical cheap jump scare horror the use of dark comedy is also great it helps to alleviate the tenseness but only ever so briefly before throwing you right back into it

A so-so horror comedy with a good array of UK acting talent on show. Ok in parts, it has some funny scenes and quite gory in places. Overall just not quite as polished as Severance, Shaun of the dead. One mainly for the guys.

I adore this book. It's a fantastically quirky mix of horror and comedy. Totally nuts, in the way only Jeff Strand can be. If you're the demented type of person I am, who thinks body parts falling of is kinda funny, you'll love this book.

Not remotely funny (1 more)
Tediously slow and dull
Terrible
Truly poor attempt at a Horror comedy, largely due to the total lack of anything funny. Just goes to show a big ensemble cast can't save a poor story. Stick with @Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Characters/Performance – Henry is the successful brother that gets traumatised when he is young, now grown up he comes to back to the farm to collect his part of the money. When he learns the truth, he must now face his nightmares and fight off the killer sheep running over the farm. Angus the brother that has been experimenting on sheep for his own personal gain, this puts his own life and members of his farm. Experience is the environmentalist that wants to expose the farm but she quickly turns when she needs to fight to survive.
Performance wise, each performance adds to the comedy being told through this film, no one is great but they all know just how to get the extra laugh needed from their characters.
Story – Only in horror could you come up with an idea of genetical altered sheep that will try to kill people. If you watch this story with this in mind, you will truly enjoy this story because it is just that bonkers it works.
Horror/Comedy – The horror would be, how scary do you find sheep? Well what about killer mutant sheep, that is your horror side to the story but this could also be used to describe the comedy involved in this film too.
Settings – The film is set upon on the farm which is good for the horror isolation side of the film as they must use the land to fight the sheep off.
Special Effects – All the effects are practical and all come off looking fantastic when you look to add the extra element of gore to the film.
Final Thoughts – This is one of those horrors you can put on and enjoy because the laughs and idea are so farfetched you just must laugh to get through it all.
Overall: Fun and enjoyable horror comedy.

Cool cast (1 more)
Some good genre jokes
Fun film for Slasher fans
A decent offering as far as recent Slasher films go. The cast is cool and clearly had fun. A nice idea of being put in to an 80's Slasher film and having to survive. Leans a bit more towards the comedy zone though for hard-core fans. Also check out @Midnight Movie (2008) which was good.
