If you have not seen the movie, The Birds, then I guess this movie could be somewhat entertaining. At least the ravens were not all computer generated.
A flock of ravens have gone mad after they had eaten the meat of some diseased cattle. The Mennonite farmers didn't disclose that they could have diseased cattle and they have doomed us all. Mennonite are not to be confused with Amish. The Mennonite have some of the modern day luxuries, such as black sedans, but they still have a commitment to traditional methods. I could go on about the Mennonite religion, but this movie is about murderous ravens.
The ravens attack and kill several people in the town. And the flock has a weird ability to sense danger. During the movie, one of the deputies, heck .. I think he might be the only deputy, comes out with a gun and the flock goes wild. The deputy retreats and the situation becomes more calm. Well, as calm as it can be for a flock of ravens.
There is not much to see here, but I do have to applaud the people who put this film together. There are not a lot of scenes with digital crows attacking people in front of a green screen. It looks like they used some real birds along with some marionette birds.
It's not that great of a movie. It is a cheap rip off of The Birds. There is no way to disguise it. At least they could have had the sheriff be named Alfred or Hitchcock. Something like that to give a slight nod to this movie's predecessor.
I give this movie 1 out of 5 basketballs.
