*SPOILERS* The Most Terrifying Film Ever *SPOILERS*

**SPOILERS BELOW**

I applaud the makers of ‘Black Sheep’ for their unflinching portrayal of modern Science. From the grimy laboratory with the deformed creature hanging in the middle of the room to the heartless scientists in white boots to the horrific effects of mans inability to let nature progress at its old, friendly pace, every detail is lovingly and accurately represented.

It terrifies me to think that there are scientists all over the world engaging in precisely the type of research we see in ‘Black Sheep’. It scared me even more when I realized that being bitten by a genetic Mutant can lead to full bodily transformation in mere minutes. I watched in shock as decent human beings were mutilated and mutated by the creations of modern Science. I recently heard about a man who had an ear genetically grafted to his arm. And I think there was a woman who developed a small arm on her forehead after eating a genetically mutated tomato. This is happening, we can’t ignore it. In the movie, we are even witness to the bone-chilling sight of a mutant sheep driving a truck while innocent human beings (and a dog) struggle to escape.

Anybody watching this movie cannot fail to see how cold the scientists are. They don’t care. Even when confronted with a decent human being with sheeps feet, these scientists merely scan with their unfeeling eyes and declare that it’s ‘interesting’. I never realised that scientists were just in it for the ‘money’ (ie. the knowledge) and it is very brave of the filmmakers to expose this truth.

In stark contract to the scientists, we have a woman who speaks useful truths every step of the way. I can’t remember her name, but she gives us a solid grounding in the reality of nature. Pretend to be a tree, she tells our hero as he tries to overcome his fear of sheep. Wise words. I was sceptical but I watched with wonder as this brave man made his way through a yard filled with sheep merely by pretending to be a tree. Who needs science (with its probing, sticky fingers and its cold lizard-brains) when we have this wisdom that has been distilled through many generations of earth-love? Who would have known that a candle made from geraniums would be the guiding light in an underground tunnel, filled with mutant organs? And who would have known that a mutant sheep would burst into flames at the mere touch of a spark?

In our relentless quest to understand the world we need to realize that we are in very real danger of creating a flock of ‘Black Sheep’. What will be your ‘Black Sheep’?
