New zealand horror comedy attack of the mutant man-eating sheep to the small village tends to be not quite rightly been compared to the early works of director Peter Jackson (Braindead [1992]). The feature film debut of Jonathan King with Jacksonovými works connects only the emphasis on the grotesqueness, which, however, is the Black sheep present only through the unusual form of the monster (even the latter, however, is not particularly bizarre in comparison with mutated rabbits and goats in the frames of Night of the Lepus and the Revenge of Billy the Kid). Horror and humor that they remain in mutual tension and nezvrhají into bloody comedians útrobních slapsticků as Bad Taste and Braindead. King's work is not directed to the magnificently eccentric comedy ideas like Jackson's movies, but holds the position of a classic, honestly uncontrollable "animal" horror film, which relies on the gradual gradation of the tension and likeable characters. Sheep mutants and their bloody attacks are trikově brilliantly mastered and mastering sound effects also evoke a suitably unsettling response. The form of the monster is not the downright ridiculous (humour to the image supply rather themselves the heroes, who in the context of contemporary horror operates exceptionally vital), but only grotesquely absurd. The championship King's work is so completely different than Jackson's images. Its essence is to maintain two mutually contradictory emotions – dread of the unknown and ridicule the absurd.
