Black Sheep - Blu-ray Forum

JAGUAR1977 · 03-17-2008, 06:44 PM

Out on the 31st in the UK.

Basically it's about Zombie Sheep, in the mold of Shaun of the Dead.

A bad film no matter how good blu is it wont make it a better film

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

iNCREDiPiNOY · 03-17-2008, 06:56 PM

Is this region-free? I would love to buy this on blu, lol!

Irishwiseguy2006 · 03-17-2008, 06:57 PM

I thought it was going to be Black Sheep with Chris Farley! BOOOOOOOO!

CptGreedle · 03-17-2008, 06:58 PM

I remember hearing about this, but it looked like shear stupidity to me.
However, I think I might enjoy this since I loved Shaun of the Dead. I hope it flocks its way to ewe-S-A.

Hard to say 100%, but the other two put out by Icon Studio in the UK (Apocalypto and Alpha Dog) both were -- so that's probably a good sign.

No Chris Farley? No David Spade? No sales?

DetroitSportsFan · 03-17-2008, 07:08 PM

Looks like it should be funny, but I should rent it first.

FilmmakingFiasco · 03-17-2008, 07:09 PM

I just watched this over the weekend. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It has its moments.

On Blu?

CptGreedle · 03-17-2008, 07:15 PM

What we need is a movie about good old fashion zombie ninja cyborgs.
yeah...

I've been reading too much Dr. McNinja....

No, sorry, I didn't specify. A friend had a DVD copy that we watched. Picture quality seemed fine. I'm sure it'll look decent in 1080p. The sound has some explosions and stuff. Not sure how that'll be.

IMind · 03-17-2008, 08:51 PM

Doh! My wife bought this for me on DVD on Valentine's Day... (She also bought Enter the Dragon on Blu!)

The creature effects are WETA so it's a step up on your average schlock...

Now I wonder if it's worth re-buying on Blu-ray.

househead · 03-17-2008, 08:51 PM

BEWARE!

This movie is nowhere near the same level as Shaun of the Dead.

Marketing hype!

Somebody pulled the wool over my eyes!
Should have rented before I bought it.

My hopes were high, but it fell flat. The PQ on the dvd was really good BD should look awesome...that won't help the movie though!

Mobe1969 · 03-17-2008, 09:00 PM

Yeah, it is pretty mediocre. It is OK, but nothing special.

me-uk · 03-17-2008, 10:30 PM

I'm really suprised to see that I'm not the only one interested in this film! For anyone interested they can see the trailer here (contains a bit of gore):

http://www.iconmovies.co.uk/blacksheep/

I missed it at the cinema but my friends all think this was a pretty good film, don't expect a masterpiece but its supposed to be better than 95% of the tripe out there! Considering it was such low budget I'll be interested to see how the blu-ray looks but got mine preordered so I'll soon be finding out!

I thought this thread was about movie "black sheep" with Chris farley, but this is a blind buy for me. Never had heard of this movie before and am curious what it s about.
