10 Horror Movies That Will Make You Hate Nature

10. Black Sheep (2006)

New Zealand cult favourite Black Sheep may be a comedy (and a brilliant one at that), but never forget that this film managed to make sheep the star of their very own creature feature.

Written and directed by Johnathan King, this sheepish horror sees brothers Henry (Nathan Meister) and Angus (Peter Feeney) come to inherit their parents' sheep farm. Henry has a crippling phobia of the animals after a traumatic experience when he was younger. Meanwhile, Angus has been conducting genetic experiments on the animals, turning them into rabid carnivores.

When environmental activists release one of the genetically modified animals, chaos breaks loose when the mutation spreads amongst the herd. A horde of newly-infected sheep flock to the farm, and it's up to the ensemble cast to find a way to survive the grizzly onslaught that follows.

Alongside the loving homages to Night Of The Living Dead and joyous sense of humour, Black Sheep bolsters some seriously impressive practical effects which come to us curtesy of Weta Workshop.

Black Sheep is a hilarious and gory Kiwi gem. It's also the only film that's successfully made sheep scary.
