Somewhere outside Reno, Nevada, some toxic gas from an abandoned mine contaminates a flock of sheep. One of the sheep gives birth to an embryo that grows into a giant sheep monster that lumbers around the countryside on its hind legs, frightening little children and bumping off the occasional gun-toting vigilante. It'd be easy to dismiss this as one of the worst movies ever made, but that would miss the point that it's also one of the most bizarre. The underlying themes are greed, racism and mob justice, and it ends in complete chaos, as avarice triumphs and society collapses and devours itself. So, yeah, it's a ridiculous, terrible movie, but it's also crazy in a way that's hard to ignore. The monster's the most sympathetic character in the film. Welcome to Indian Flats.
