Before the drama on Sunday afternoon became the news, I was planning on posting on the film we matched Saturday night. Black Sheep, a film that could only be made in NZ. And I am surprised it hadn’t been made yet. What is it? Well, it is your standard zombie-apocalypse, except with sheep.

Hordes of flesh-eating, genetically modified, zombie sheep. It was hilarious. You might be able to find it in your video store, as it did get a world-wide release. It does have gore, of the classic spurting bad-zombie film variety. I am also amused that it was shot entirely in the Wellington region. “Miles from nowhere” is actually Terawhiti station behind Makara, about a 20 minute drive from downtown. And we are pretty sure that the house they sheltered in was the same as Peter Jackson used in Bad Taste. But of course, there are only so many houses back in Makara.

So, if you are looking for a uniquely NZ film, add Black Sheep to the queue.
