Movie Synopsis
During the American Civil War, William was the leader of a group of Confederate deserters that included his younger brothers Sam, Clyde, and Joseph. With the help of escaped slave Todd and army nurse Annabelle, they rob rebel gold in a bank heist.
After spending the night in a place that needed a rest, criminals camped in a mansion overlooking an abandoned plantation. On their way through the field, they spot a strange scarecrow, which they believe is actually a crucified man, and shoots a strange shape-shifting creature. It soon became apparent that the old house was not as hollow as they thought. The former owner was a gentleman farmer with a wife and two children. When his wife died, he tried to bring her back by sacrificing his children, slaves, and any other creatures, hoping that the black magic gained from his slave's native ritual would bring her back to life. However, this only allows evil spirits to take over his victims, and these remain at home, attacking all who dare to enter. When they found out what he was doing, the locals pinned the farmer to his field (he was the scarecrow the group found when they first arrived).
A storm is approaching, and Joseph leads the horse into the barn. When he went to the well to fetch water, he was pulled in by a spirit. Others tried to find him but failed to do so.
Others experience strange things too. While resting in the bedroom, Sam is haunted by the ghost of the farmer who shows him what happened, while Todd witnesses the ghost of a slave dying in the basement. Clyde witnesses what appears to be Joseph stumbling outside and investigates. William and Annabelle, who were guarding the gold, woke up to find it disappeared and thought Clyde had taken off. When William tries to track down Clyde, Sam is owned by the farmer and shows Annabelle what happened. The ritual transforms the peasant's family into diabolical creatures akin to the creatures they killed when they first arrived. Sam died soon after, and Annabelle tried to convince William to leave. Todd was also reunited with the couple and was determined to leave.
When they got to the barn, they found the horse ripped to shreds. Todd begins to hear and see what the other two cannot do, and he tries to leave. William refuses to leave without the gold, and returns to the house with the help of Annabelle to find Sam's body missing. On the battlefield, a possessed Sam attacks Todd, throwing him into the air, and he disappears in mid-air. When William and Annabelle also entered the field, they found Clyde, now dead, possessed by a spirit, crucified like a scarecrow, with eyes and mouth sewn together. As they tried to escape, William accidentally shot Annabel, killing her instantly.
The next morning, William finally left Annabelle's body. He was attacked by their dog and tried to escape. As William cleared the fields, he was shot by a group of Confederate soldiers. It was then revealed that William had also turned into a demonic creature that the soldiers mistook him for some shape-shifting animal. Two of the soldiers found William's dropped gold coins and went to investigate the house. As they crossed the field, they found the corpse of another demonic creature, possibly Annabelle's.
Wonderful movie review
Fear Center's Jon Condit said of the film, "And wouldn't know, this piece from the history of newcomer Alex Turner (we're in the late 1800s for this one) and some heavily budgeted period pieces of Go And the otherworldly Lovecraftian heebie-jeebies are a very satisfying feast. That said, if you can stomach the pace of its unhurried storytelling, these tales of America's bygone days seem unshakable (it's not without glory) , I would say that much)". [4] Amazing Cam Lindsay! "The Wild West isn't the norm for horror filmmaking, but first-time director Turner and writer Simon Barrett have come up with a nice horror/western hybrid that makes their little film extraordinary," he said.
DVD Talk's Daniel W. Kelly said: "Sure, the movie follows some scary conventions. There's a cornfield. There's demons and scary creatures. A bunch of people leave one by one in a desolate place. But that's us. I love horror. The only other real problem is that while the ending is conceptually good, it can be seen as a visual anti-climate. Still, the movie deserves the goosebumps it provides throughout Thanks to the stylish camera work and visually terrifying presentation." [6] Brian McKay from eFilmCritic.com gave the film 4/5 stars and wrote, "DEAD BIRDS is a horror movie that straddles the line between mediocrity and quality. , which ultimately falls on the "quality" side, thanks to several elements that help elevate it above standard horror traps. When you're making a basic haunted house story, it's important to have a good cast and Some quality real estate to film it, and there are two elements here.[7] The arrow in the head rates the film 6/10, praising the film's acting, atmosphere, direction, and soundtrack, while criticizing the film's occasional slow moments and weak CGI.[ 8]
Robert Koehler from Variety gave the film a negative review, criticizing the film's lack of scare, overextended scenes and repetitive visuals, writing, "The concept of turning the horror genre into the bloody soil of the Civil War with the dull 'Dead Bird' gets forever already."
