    It's smart; it's silly; it's – kill me now – shear terror.

    I did like seeing the (fakey-looking) sheep take flying neck-high leaps at various human throats, in scenes recalling the killer rabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." And I enjoyed the Kiwi dialects. And I suspect King's next film will be better.

    Stunning vistas of New Zealand's rolling countryside aren't enough to carry this lame 2006 horror spoof.

    Absurdly funny. A classic horror/gore/comedy. A must see if you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead and/or Evil Dead.

    Hmm...this movie was entertaining, but only because me and my friends saw it as a comedy instead of a horror movie. Seriously, we were laughing out loud! Problem is, I don't think that was its intention.… Expand
