Featured review
Ovine Horror
This woolly New Zealand splatter comedy hasn't got quite the same wit and originality as Jackson's Braindead, but in itself, it's a fun ride, no matter whether you love sheep or detest them.
The director finds the right balance between spoofing the genre and taking it seriously, which results in scenes being both mordantly funny and comically repulsive at the same time.
The plot's mere window-dressing to present one hilarious sheep incident after another. And some jokes work wonders in a childish sort of way.
A silly fun movie through and trough.
