Black Sheep premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2006 and was theatrically released in New Zealand on March 29, 2007.

Young Henry Oldfield lives on a sheep farm in New Zealand with his older brother Angus and his father Oliver.

Moments after Henry discovers his pet sheep's bloody corpse, Mrs. Mac, the farm's housekeeper, informs them of Oliver's death.

After the car is destroyed, they seek refuge in the laboratory, where Henry learns of Angus' genetic experiments with his assistant Dr. Astrid Rush.

Experience and Tucker arrive with Mrs. Mac to disinfect both Angus and Henry with more amniotic fluid, administered via a medicine nozzle designed for sheep.

The site's consensus reads: "With an outrageous premise played completely straight, Black Sheep is a violent, grotesque, and very funny movie that takes B-movie lunacy to a delirious extreme.
