Under the beautiful pasture scenery of New Zealand, the above weird and bloody incident happened. Under the seemingly peaceful and happy pasture, a bloody disaster is slowly brewing. In the next whole day, the beautiful pastures will be covered with stumps of various human limbs, and the air will be filled with a strong smell of blood. The little sheep waiting to be slaughtered turned into a bloodthirsty madman, and a weird and bloody black party was about to unfold splendidly.
The terrible scientific experiment of genetically modified sheep led to the collective infection of normal sheep, and the humans who were attacked were also infected. Then came the inevitable struggle between humans and sheep. A potion resolved this mutation disaster. The story of "Crazy Sheep" is so simple, it is a typical zombie film routine, but it changes from a zombie to a zombie sheep. The characters are also very symbolic, just like the characters in cartoons. A bad person is a bad person, and a good person is a good person. A selfish and indifferent brother who loves money, a younger brother who suffers from sheep fear, an enthusiastic farm manager, and a beautiful female reporter. The direction of the relationship and the final outcome of the characters are basically predictable for a long time, without any suspense.
Therefore, the story of "Mad Sheep" is like a fable that is read to children before going to bed. The purpose is to let the children understand the truth of the story from the fright. A long time ago, two discordant brothers, a terrible incident of sheep cannibalism. In the end, we learned that humans must be responsible for what they do. Crazy animal experiments have led to terrible results. Nature is the true creator.
"Mad Sheep" is a movie that divides people into groups. Some viewers will feel sick and disgusted by the naked display of blood and violence because the film is too weird, absurd and simple. And if you are a film noir and a fan of Cult Movie, then "Mad Sheep" will make you completely crazy, thinking of the classic Cult Movies of the last century, which is bloody enough like "Ghosts", like "The Flies" It's disgusting enough, like the black humor of "Rocky Horror Show". It's the kind of movie where you can giggle when you see the fragmented cannibalism scene.
Today, when all kinds of horror movies are overwhelming with perverted killers, "Crazy Sheep" has once again made me feel the charm of Cult Movie from the last century. Although the special effects of the film came from Peter Jackson’s Weta studio, although the beautiful prairie scenes make people think of "Lord of the Rings", even the soundtrack of the film is very similar to "Lord of the Rings", and it can't cover its Cult. Movie's unique "evil" atmosphere.
In New Zealand, agriculture and animal husbandry are the main agricultural industry. There are a total of 4 million sheep in New Zealand. The director of the film, who is dealing with various animals, finally chose sheep as a perverted article. It is really insightful. The resulting series of black events, various chemical reactions are sufficiently abnormal. As I said at the beginning, who would have thought that one day the little sheep would also eat people. This is exactly the cause of the evil spirit of this film.
The evil of "Mad Sheep" is its vulgar, contrived, and exaggerated style, which causes many people to dislike the film. In addition to disgusting the physical weirdness, "Mad Sheep" is full of absurd and even boring scenes, simple, The low-level is very different from the clean, catch-up, and graceful taste that ordinary people pursue. There are too many naked bloody scenes in this film, and the production is very real. If blood can be played with beauty, then the blood of this film is definitely not beautiful, but disgusting enough.
In a bloody, abnormal and weird atmosphere, "Mad Sheep" can be said to be a collection of elements of a variety of movie styles. Therefore, it is basically not a good qualitative film type, it can only be said to be a cross-genre film. It is a hodgepodge of science fiction, horror, music, animation, and comedy. The dystopian traditions of science fiction films, eschatological complexes, fear of machinery, interpersonal indifference, as well as rebellious ideas in rock music, decadent aesthetics, gorgeous styles, social critical consciousness, strong visual stimulation in horror films, and freedom of animation Expressiveness, the dissolution brought by black humor...These are imaginatively and casually combined into a cocktail that tastes unspeakable. So, naturally, while the film is baptizing the audience's vision with various bloody scenes, it does not let go of your laughing nerves. Those cute black humours are filled with small details, which inadvertently stir your laughing nerves.
