Dead Birds-Worth a Look, But Not Much More?
Great atmosphere, good acting, decent ending twist, so-so plot. Worth a rent but not much more. Not too confusing if you pay attention and like horror movies anyway. I also thought it would be more scary, but the kids were creepy. The hollowed-out eye-sockets were what got me. The score also set a great sense of dread and foreboding. I suppose for a first time director it wasn't absolutely awful. But as I said before, strong performances(especially Isiah Washington and Patrick Fugit), the location(great Southern period "feel"), a very creepy score, and the little twist at the end are what saves this movie from being very mediocre to just plain bad.
