Black Sheep - Solo Release

[Davidian]

Black Sheep:

Terrified of sheep and dosed up on therapy, Henry Oldfield returns to his family's farm to sell out to his older brother Angus, unaware that something baaaad is going on: Angus' reckless genetic engineering program. When a pair of inept environmental activists release a mutant lamb from Angus' laboratory onto the farm, thousands of sheep are turned into bloodthirsty predators. Along with farmhand Tucker and the 'green'-minded young woman, Experience, Henry finds himself stranded deep on the farm as his worst nightmare comes to life. Battling their way to safety the intrepid trio discover there's worse to come: one bite from an infected sheep seems to have alarming effect on those bitten. With Angus acting suspiciously sheepish, a delegation of international investors gathering at the homestead and a ravenous flock descending from the hills, Henry must find the farmer within to wrest control of the farm from his monstrous brother, defeat an ovine invasion and save New Zealand's greener pastures.


I've just picked up the solo release of Black Sheep thinking it may well be a upgrade from the Black Sheep/Severance Twin Pack but disappointingly it is not.

As evidenced by these BDinfo comparisons it can clearly be seen that they have not only dropped the DTS HD MA soundtrack but also lowered the video bitrate (278936 vs. 15994) So for all intents and purposes the individual release is essentially a downgrade.

Bit of a quandary as what to do here... May as well put the twin pack in the individual cover
