Super goofy monster-on-the-loose epic. This one features a mutated sheep monster which looks like a pretty ratty sheep carcass draped over a hobbling hunchback but even through it's filthy exterior it does manage to exude a certain charm. This is mainly due to it not really being the bad guy in this tale. That honor belongs to a couple of unscrupulous townsfolk that include a greedy mayor, a lazy fatass sheriff and a clearly homosexual cowboy fellow who's supposed to be a real badass he-man type but just comes across as strangely miscast tight-jeans-wearing acting school dropout. There's some vaguely racist overtones thanks to a black guy trying to buy up property but, as with many things in this film, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. Worth seeing just for the oddness factor.
Director Fredric Hobbs also did 3 other oddball flicks including something called ROSELAND which contains the most amazing song and dance number done to the wondrous tune of "You Cannot Fart Around With Love" that I have made many friends suffer through on various drunken movie nights. I still need to watch the rest of the movie one of these days if I can ever find it.
