Flesh-eating vampire sheep? Gosh, can't cinema think of anything original anymore?

Nathan Meister and Peter Feeney play brothers, who grew up in a sheep farm. After Nathan leaves the farm because of a traumatic incident, Peter began to experiment with the sheep. His goal is to create "supersheep" that will reap more profits for the farm.

When Nathan returns home to sell his share of the farm to Peter, he is shocked to learn that Peter has been genetically altering sheep with human DNA. Things get worse when an animal rights activist (Oliver Driver) breaks into Peter's lab to liberate a lab sample, but instead he gets bitten by a mutant embryo. Soon, infected humans are turning into zombies, while the sheep become flesh-eating vampires ...

The whole movie is relentless B-grade good for a few laughs but expect a few groans as well. One thing's for sure: You'll never count sheeps on sleepless nights again.
