Trying to identify an old nightmare fuel source of a childhood film…

This riddle has hunted me for decades. Can anyone pin what the heck the name of this film is…? I searched high and low, I have asked movie buffs and not one bit of luck! -I never actually watched it, not even a clip, just saw it frequently on the shelf in Blockbuster and other video rental places, and it struck deep on me as a scaredy cat of a little kid! I always wondered if this film was any good, how scary it was, and what the public critical view is. Here are the hints we have:

*It had I believe a reddish-brown photograph of sheep on the cover, with red eyes, and I also think a close up (possibly)on an anxious brunette actress’s face. Might also be some barbed wire fence or farm imagery like windmills in the back. There title I can’t place at all, but I do recall it had the biohazard symbol somewhere in the title text, or underneath, and while this might just be Mandela effect style gaps being filled in my imagination, I THINK the text was shiny, raised, bright red or green metallic, or black, with typical fancy thin pointy 90s-early 00s ‘edgy’ horror font.

*Again only half sure, but I feel certain it was one of those one word noun sorta titles, something akin to “Plagues” or maybe “The Flock” or “Contamination”, or anything along those lines. This was likely released out prior to it but it also might have come out right around the time of the film ‘28 Days Later’, and/or ‘Donnie Darko’, and been one of the many stylistic copycats or possible influences, as it had *that* very specific sorta late 90s/turn of millennium movie aesthetic vibe.

*MOST KEY OF ALL- Again, only going off vague memories from childhood here, but I feel 89 to 99% certain - it starred a heroine who was pregnant in it and she was coping with brain fog and anxiety from it being due very soonish and medically she is not doing well and worried about it. Either that or the protagonist had just given birth very recently ago, and was in the throes of post partum depression disorder. She was dealing on some level with possible hallucinations, terrorized by (delusional or real?)conspiracies and in general questioning her happiness & mental stability and whether her whole domestic reality was being gaslit or not.

*There was DEFINITE MENTION OF SHEEP BEING INFECTED WITH SOMETHING DANGEROUS, Whether this virus was something man made, it escaped a lab by accident, was a type of natural in the wild mutated ‘super rabies’, or some kind of new experimental drug that went haywire, all I KNOW was that *something bad happens to cause an outbreak in the sheep.*

…and that’s all I know. I don’t recall or know if it makes the sheep into human flesh eating zombies, just die off in huge distressing numbers or in vile disturbing ways, does it grant beasts with unnatural telepathy or sentience, or bloodlust for farmer vengeance, I don’t know. All I do know is something very bad happens to the sheep, a woman who is near term or postpartum is overwhelmed emotionally by it and is severely doubting herself and paranoid of ALL those round her like her family and husband and doctors.

I am aware of the other more infamous B films, such as Black Sheep, and similar bottom tier dark comedies. While I don’t know for sure it’s actual content and tone, I guarantee this film is NOT that film Black Sheep, or one that likely would invoke tropes as wildly over the top as werewolf curses or vampiric states or hybrid monster creatures. This distinctly felt like a film that was TRYING TO BE COMMENTARY ON MENTAL HEALTH IN WOMEN, AND SOMETHING FROM OUR SCIENTIFIC WORLD THAT COULD ACTUALLY BE REAL.

Or at least the film probably wanted to suggest it did this to you on the box. It might’ve been grossly out of touch and hyperbolic unrealistic or scientifically ignorant for all I know, but, either way, it felt like one of ‘we are warning about those things you been seeing in the news’ kind of vibes. It felt more like Black Mirror or something that might have questioned GMOs and corporate drug hegemony or even cloning(Dolly the Sheep’s birth had been still pretty recent then, and so it was still hot to make jokes and essays about.)

Suggestions?… Post comments below or reblog!

There is a movie I watched as a kid, and I remember it kept my attention (first time it happend and it was not a kids movie) about a girl and her mom died, and she touched the jewelry the mom left behind, the dad got mad and put it back how the mom left it .

Then she tried to stop her stepmom from leaving, and the movie went on how she got older and has her own kids .

And her daughter a chubby blonde girl got bullied, and one of the bullies pushed her hard against the window of the bus and she was bleeding ...

That's it I don't remember anything else of the movie, and I still don't know the name .

Oh and the movie started I think when the woman was a little girl at the airport 🤔

If someone knows I really like the title of the movie

GUYS

quick, what was that one really low-quality movie thats name sounded like 'gay' and it had weird little deer/goat people from a show getting teleported into the real world because some evil scientist stole an artifact that kept their world from turning to shit and had to take it back before their world ended, but they also meet the creator of the show they're from

i want more nuance to be entered into the discussion of the green girl sorority and how differently cynthia plays elphaba in comparison to those who came before her because while a lot of people are rightfully like "why was elphaba not black from the beginning" and celebrating that she is now being played by a black woman, i think we need to be careful in just writing off all the elphabas of the past as Random White Girls when the role was championed (and often followed/succeeded) by a jewish woman

the pop culture archetype of the Wicked Witch has deep roots in antisemitism stretching faaaar far back. there is a level of reclamation happening in casting idina menzel, a jewish woman, to play the Misunderstood and Maligned young girl who is branded as exactly that. and stage!Elphaba is also written and acted with jewish stereotypes in mind--she is loud, aggressive, no-nonsense, blunt. she is quick to advocate for herself and shut down the discrimination she faces. all of this is very intentional! her personality is abrasive from years of abuse, and that makes propagandizing her easy. this is literally the thesis statement of the musical--it's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed.

cynthia's performance of elphaba is fucking INSPIRED despite going in a completely different direction. she's much more reserved, analytical, one of her key character traits is how well she can read people (see her calling out Galinda as insecure/putting on airs in their first scene together, clocking that Fiyero is using his party guy persona as a shield for his own depression) elphaba's attempts to blend in and make herself smaller all fail simply because of her existence, if not that then because she feels empathy so strongly she often struggles to hold back from acting, protecting.

personality wise, though, cynthia's elphaba is very quiet and closed-off, not at all the bullet-to-the-face that she is in the stage show, and... she still gets propagandized and maligned. though this seems to contradict the other interpretation, it tells of the other end of the spectrum of propaganda, one that black women watching (and many, MANY other marginalized folks) are sure to identify with--it does not matter how "nice," how reserved, how small a black woman makes herself. a racist society will still scrutinize her every action for a way to parse ill intent from it, brand her as an angry black woman who is dangerous and wicked, and write off any humanity she has in the process.

these two very different interpretations tell of the lie of assimilation. the fact of the matter is, when you are marginalized, there is no way to sand down your edges enough to make the people oppressing you "accept" you. that is why wicked is a tragedy at its core. whether loud and aggressive or quiet and unimposing, there is nothing elphaba could have done to make the people of Oz see her as anything other than a scapegoat to blame all their problems on.

so while i definitely appreciate that people are excited for black girl era elphaba, i would encourage us all to still show appreciation for what came before--that was not white girl era elphaba. that was jewish girl era elphaba. two houses, both alike in dignity, two stories both worth being told.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

This is an incredibly random request but I remember watching an animated movie as a kid that was kind of steampunk, the main boy rode like a cylindrical steam powered bike and I remember there being a Russian-doll-coded girl with blonde hair and a tsundere attitude and a mean ugly Pomeranian dog… i swear there was steam powered blimps too… i remember watching it multiple times so i swear it exists.. does anyone recognize this or know the name?
