Black Sheep - Toronto International Film Festival

I attended the world premiere of New Zealand director Jonathan Kings feature film debut "Black Sheep". The basic story is that an experiment in genetic engineering turns harmless sheep into blood-thirsty killers that terrorize a rural town in New Zealand. The film is a mix of comedy, horror and gore that pays tribute to many films in the same vein of the past. Weta workshop (of Lord of the Rings fame) worked on the animatronic puppets and the special make up effects.

All in all the film was average, although it was great to see a movie made with no CGI and actual puppets etc ( I much prefer this method as I despise CGI) it still fell flat in many areas.
