CommentsXp Best movie ever!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain The film is relatively well made. I never doubted the existence of these ravens, nor their animosity towards humans. It was well shot and had some decent actors too. The problem is that it played it too straight. It never really found the humour. This would be OK if it managed to get the tension or scares right, but it just fizzles flat. This is a real pity, as you may as well watch The Birds, a truly terrifying film that also shows why you shouldn't explain everything. Kaw even takes one of the actors from that film, when it should have just had more fun. Not embarrassing, but not incredibly entertaining either. The best thing about it is the title, which I can't help but say in an annoying bird sound kind of way.
logical-1 This movie is as bad as it sounds. Killer ravens. I watch almost *anything* that is labeled horror. But I had been avoiding renting this since the premise seemed so weak that it couldn't possibly flesh out into a watchable movie. My wife brought it home one Saturday night and... I was right. The problem here is exacerbated by the fact that I had recently watched two movies which had killer birds in them as a subplot and they were pretty well done. "Resident Evil: Extinction" was one of them, can't remember the other but it was a ghost movie o some kind. Anyway, the crows/ravens in this movie didn't scare me one bit. I kept thinking "just cover your head with your jacket and you'll be all right dammit!" The production values are a couple of notches higher than the quality of the script. The acting is standard/mediocre, which isn't a deal-breaker for me in these genre flicks. The cgi was, again, standard/mediocre, which wouldn't bother me much. Oddly, the photography was quite well done, (always comparing it to the quality of the script). It seemed like there was *some* talent in the crew, but they were simply doomed to make a horribly scripted piece of ... I cannot stress enough how bad, bland, clichéd the story is. It's the only reason I felt compelled to write about it.
John Crane It doesn't take a genus to know that a huge inspirational factor behind this guilty pleasure was Hitchcock's The Birds. I thought this movie would be a terrible B-movie that should never be enjoyed by the general public, for the most part it is true, but because of that I enjoyed this film. The birds were so badly CGed and the acting was okay, the scares were not there and the gore wasn't enough. There were points in the movie where I could not watch it because it lost and bored me, so I had to resort to other things to keep my mind interested. The attack scenes were kind of humorous and laughable.However, despite these negative factors that drug this movie down, these very same factors made me like the movie a lot. I'm not ashamed to watch it again, and I probably will, but it's like Snakes on the Plane or Chopping Mall, it's so bad it's good and I can't deny that. I watched it and knew fully that I would not be able to take it seriously, which is why when the movie ended I sat back and said "That was a very long, boring and entertaining roller coaster ride." I would recommend this movie to those who love cult classics or really bad B-movies; even those who enjoy indie films or low-budgeters would enjoy this. Though, if your palate includes something a bit more scary or disturbing, you might want to stay away from it. Relationship wise, it's all bittersweet for me.
Cemetarygirl Another coulda been good movie that almost got me cheering for the birds. People attacked by Ravens with mad cow disease, does a disservice to the Mennonites. Does a disservice to the Ravens and really puts Hitchcock on a way higher pedestal than he was already on. As others have said where did all the townsfolk go. Surely someone could help. A silly synopsis that made me see red. People killed by birds yet the blood so artistically arranged on their heads. This did not go overboard on the effects or even the blood quota. Such a shame that it was made at all. Why kill the dog, why kill Rachel? And why wasn't her husband worried about that death. Wooden acting to the nth degree. It is not a homage even using Mr Taylor. Birds was a lot more intense and a lot scarier and they probably didn't have the money or the effects available today. Bird throwing rocks Gimme a break! And Doris- why did she not die when the coach who was closer to the bus did, and could have gotten on the bus or at least under it. When I saw the thing in the well it looked like an alien human being (thought it might have been inbreed) rather than a cow. The story has no development, no guts and silly choices of kills and victims. It gets 3 because I have seen worse but I want my money back so I can buy a copy of the Birds.
