Black Sheeps
In 2006, New Zealand unleashed genetically engineered killer sheep with a taste for human flesh upon the world. Twenty years later, they're at it again - and this time it won't just be the lambs being led to slaughter.
Synopsis
BLACK SHEEPS returns to the scene of Jonathan King’s Kiwi cult classic, where a young scientist, convinced that a dangerous new pathogen is threatening New Zealand, follows the trail back to her hometown and the mysterious Glenolden Station. There she encounters a murderous sheep-worshipping cult, a property developer harbouring a particularly unpleasant secret and a mysterious figure known only as The Shepherd, before finding herself trapped inside the quarantined pastures locals call The Zone.
Writer/director Jonathan King returns alongside Nathan Meister as the deeply sheep-phobic Henry Oldfield, while Wētā Workshop is back in the paddock unleashing a new generation of practical-effects monstrosities.
Arriving at Monster Fest fresh from its World Premiere at Sitges, BLACK SHEEPS proves that after twenty years, New Zealand’s most dangerous livestock still isn’t ready to be put out to pasture.
