TV Guide Magazine
Horror buffs in search of a fresh take on the usual grue should embrace it wholeheartedly. - 70
Village Voice
The cartoonish overkill that often makes Black Sheep a hoot proves wearying over an entire movie: The broad comedy and one-note characters eventually cancel out the horror, leaving elaborate set pieces that are more frantic than funny. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
A giddily subversive addition to the age-old cinema tradition of the horror comedy. - 70
Variety
Endearingly amusing horror pic. - 70
Salon
Jolly good fun. - 70
Los Angeles Times
The cast, including Tammy Davis as a handyman and Glenis Levestam as a housekeeper with a taste for innards, hits its marks flawlessly, even when the material isn't first-rate. Like "Shaun of the Dead," Black Sheep is at once exhilarating and self-deprecating, knowledgeable without being fannish, clever but not too clever. - 70
The New York Times
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. - 63
New York Post
This is a one-joke skit that trots in a straight line, and your enjoyment of it will depend entirely on how many times you need to see gonzo sheep rip out human entrails.
