Reviews

"Horror buffs in search of a fresh take on the usual grue should embrace it wholeheartedly."

   - Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide

"You'll laugh, you'll groan, you'll never buy wool again."

   - Eric Alt, Premiere

"Never very frightening, but it's clever and fun, with a memorable amount of humor and gore."

   - Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

"It manages the weird feat of making a flock of sheep bounding across a meadow seem vaguely menacing."

   - M. E. Russell, Portland Oregonian

"Once you have seen a sheep munching on a bloody human leg, you may think twice about your next leg of lamb. On the other hand maybe you'll be inspired to seek vengeance. To provoke one of these responses -- vegetarianism or a defiant meat eating -- may be the point of this odd, amusing film."

   - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
