Belated Day 25 Of My 31 Days Of Horror 2.This is a so called retelling of Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds. Yeah right. Next your telling me that The Room is a remake of Citezen Kane. Although The Room is pretty funny.The film follows a group of people whose town is being terrorized by a group of ravenous birds and one by one the core characters are killed.A short review but the characters are 1 dimensional, the effects are poor and all around the film is just not needed.Rated R For Some Gory Images.1hr 32min/92min.10 uses of the F-word.BOMB/****

I for one love killer animal's movies, so I could not wait to see Kaw, While it sure sounded a lot like Hitchcock's The Birds it's far from a rip-off of.it is actually a really good movie and other great thing is that they've actually used real birds most of the time to limit the use of CGI , which makes movie much better! and ravens are scary enough to keep you away from them for a few days.The story Police Chief Wayne Hayborne, is on his very last day of work and wants to get away from the town with his wife after he has finished work for the day and he Need put it on hold as call comes in about old farmer as been found dead, Meanwhile a bus driver Clyde MacKenzie has a run in with a flock of murderous ravens and fight back with a gun!.There was a decent amount of gore in the film with several scenes of ravens plucking the brains from their victims and bus driver dog was really scared , if you like dogs like I do, believe ME you Will hate ravens what they did to that poor dog very sad scene.Most of the actors in Kaw are Very likable and the acting for small budget horror was excellent. It not great movie But it still really good.I give this movie 7/10

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.
