Trailer: Jonathan King’s Black Sheeps to Premiere at Sitges — and Yes, There Are Exploding Sheep Heads

Jonathan King is revisiting the world of his 2006 horror comedy Black Sheep with a follow-up titled Black Sheeps. The film will have its world premiere at the Sitges Film Festival this October as part of the festival’s 59th edition, and the first trailer has been released.

The sequel returns the story to New Zealand. According to the material released with the trailer, the plot follows a young scientist who is tracing a dangerous new pathogen back to her hometown, which sits in the shadow of the remote sheep station where the original film’s carnage took place. Genetically modified sheep once again pose a violent threat to people nearby.

Nathan Meister, who appeared in the original Black Sheep, is reported to be among the cast returning for the new film, and several key members of the original production team are involved. Filmmakers have described the shoot as a “gory and hilarious ride.”

Trailer highlights
