On a vast New Zealand sheep station, a reckless genetic engineering experiment goes horribly wrong, turning sheep into bloodthirsty killers. So you now know the beginning and the obvious ending - it is only the journey that is left to experience. Filmed in the lower Wairarapa, near Wellington, this bloody thing is in the early Peter Jackson tradition and benefited by having Richard Taylor and the WETA Workshop people to do their magic on killer sheep.
