I’ve just had a look at the trailer for Jonathan King’s horror movie, Black Sheep. Set in New Zealand. the movie tells the story of Henry Oldfield (Nathan Meister) returning home to sell his share of the family farm to his older brother Angus (Peter Feeney), who is carrying out secret genetic experiemnts. While trying to reveal Angus’ experiments, a pair of environmental activists accidentally release a mutant lamb, which infects the herd and turns them into killer sheep.

The film was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival in September last year and is being released on NZ screens in March this year by Icon, originally supported by New Zealand Film Commission

Weta Workshop is providing animatronic puppets, special make up effects and other trickery to bring killer sheep to life in gory detail.

Get ready for the violence of the lambs. If you dare, see the Quicktime trailer for Black Sheep online at www.blacksheep-themovie.com
