3.5/5
"Like its ovine stars, Black Sheep is none too smart, but will certainly coat you in its fluffy warmth and put an affectionate smile on your face. Lacks much real bite, mind."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

3/5
"Maybe it's not exactly what Romero had in mind, but for pure insanity, Black Sheep does its job and it does it well."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

B+
"The lush hills of New Zealand provide an ironic backdrop for this witty little horror show about a farm where genetically altered sheep have been turned into devilish zombies."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2/4
"Cute idea, poor execution..."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  David N. Butterworth

2.5/4
"...gleefully brutal..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"Broad humor, including "sheep-shagging" and other puns, lifts this predictable B-movie a shade above the inanity of most of its recent brethren."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

B-
"Anyone who can wring repeated laughs out of a simple "Ba-a-a-a-a" is okay by me."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

8/10
"Wool growers of the undead!"  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2.5/5
"Pera ap' to concept toy, kai dyotreis eksarseis stin ekseliksi toy, par' oti fainetai polla yposhomeno to Black Sheep den ehei na dosei kai polla oyte sti splateria oyte stin komodia poy prepei na pantrepsei"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

"Black Sheep takes one of nature's most decidedly non-threatening creatures and arms 'em, deliriously and deliciously, with ravenous, razor-edged teeth."  House Next Door  Keith Uhlich

"Takes a ludicrous concept and plays it as totally straight-up horror, which makes it even funnier than it might have been if it were presented as a joke in the first place."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"Killer sheep. Really, is there much more that needs to be said?"  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

2/4
"Lacks vigorous satiric or allegorical energy."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2.5/5
"Black Sheep takes so long to get going and misses so many easy opportunities for classic comedy it has to be regarded as a noble failure."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

2/5
"It just goes on too long to support what is essentially a one-joke premise."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

4/5
"A raucously hysterical romp by some seriously twisted filmmakers."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

7/10
"Lush photography of the beautiful New Zealand hills combines with skin ripping mayhem and over-the-top humor to make one of the funniest of the new wave zombie satires yet."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

4/5
"Pretty impressive work from a first-time filmmaker who aimed for equal portions of broad humor and gore galore -- and nailed both genres right on the mutton."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg
