About Face - The Lamb of God

Two decades before the animals of Black Sheep ran amok, this Sunday night horror featured a couple trapped in the countryside as the sheep start to get restless. Between encounters with a cheerful butcher and a man of God, we learn that New Zealand has undergone revolution: anyone who farms or harms animals is branded a criminal. Directed by Costa Botes (Forgotten Silver), this was the only episode of 1980s anthology series About Face to take the Twilight Zone route. The Lamb of God was written by poet and lawyer Piers Davies, co-writer of 1978 movie Skin Deep and cult Australian film The Cars that Ate Paris.
