Description: Dead Birds (DVD, 2004) Western Horror Movie Rare Starring Henry Thomas SHIPS FROM SYDNEY Region 1 USA Release - Please ensure you can play this Summary : A group of Confederate soldiers hole up in an abandoned plantation after robbing a bank and find themselves at the mercy of supernatural forces. Review : Seem to be a fair amount of people out there with less than complimentary opinions of this movie... Speaking frankly as an avid fan of the genre, 'Dead Birds' scared the living sh** out of me! Director Alex Turner has made a near perfect example of what modern horror can and should be, but he didn't do it alone. The chilling original screenplay by admitted Ring fan Simon Barrett is well paced and stylishly captured by Steve Yedlin's camera work. I look forward to seeing more from Yedlin who adds layers of visual trickery to Dead Birds by making the most effective use of shadow I have seen in years. When combined with convincing performances from the cast all this makes for a great film sure to creep you out. Then there is the 5 seconds of Dead Bird footage I personally feel should be remembered right alongside Janet's shower scene... but I don't want to spoil it for you. Suffice to say if it fails to freak you right the F out, check your pulse - you might already be dead! If anyone else enjoys Dead Birds half as much as I did, let others know and lets get this movie the attention it deserves! Last night I was at the World Premiere of Dead Birds at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was during Midnight Madness which deals with Genre (Sci-Fi, Horror) movies. The Director, Writer and principal cast were in the theatre, and had a Q+A session after the picture's completion. Being a Horror fan, I was definitely looking forward to the movie. The special effects, gore, make-up and cgi were all very well done, especially for such a low-budget film. It's also got a nice feel and look to it. The costumes and locales were effective, as it took place in the Civil War era. I found certain parts of the movie a little slow at times, but overall I liked it. There certainly aren't very many Horror-Westerns around, and this is one of them.
