The Story

Henry Oldfield (Nathan Meister) has a problem with sheep, which is a huge deal since he and his older brother Angus (Peter Feeney) inherited a farm full of the fluffy critters. Unfortunately for Henry, events compel him to return home after being away for years. He's only supposed to be there long enough to wrap up a bit of business however upon arriving at his family farm, Henry soon discovers his brother's been playing around with genetics. Although Angus only intended to develop a new line of sheep, screwing around with genetics is a scary thing to do and there can be unexpected -- and horrifying -- byproducts. Beware of killer mutant sheep...

The Bonus Features

There's a better collection of bonus material than you'd expect of a film this size, and the 30 minute behind-the-scenes featurette is not to be missed. Even the commentary track with writer/director Jonathan King and Nathan Meister is worth checking out.
