Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 5.8 out of 10 from audiences and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and horror fans. If you loved What We Do in the Shadows or Cold Storage, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 26 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

After a childhood prank by his brother Angus causes Henry to develop a phobia of sheep, he must step up to the onslaught of a genetically-mutated man-eating flock with the help of his friend and a young environmentalist.
