When a group of criminals on the run after a bank robbery during the Civil War take refuge in an abandoned house they have no idea what evil they have come upon. Isolated and presumed deserted, the house is anything but safe...
As the night wears on and a thunderstorm grows outside, each member of the group begins to have visions of the atrocities that occurred within the house, haunting it forever. Voices in the well, visions of mangled bodies and clawing under the stairs plague their waking hours. As the fear in the group begins to grow and the supernatural forces in the house start to manifest themselves, the group turn on each other and exact the wrath of the souls trapped within the walls.
DEAD BIRDS premiered at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival. The film has gotten some solid press; The LA Times calls DEAD BIRDS a "richly imagined, genuinely suspenseful supernatural horror movie". Bloody-Disgusting.com says "Dead Birds is a spooky, complex and brilliantly crafted ghost story". Russ Fischer took the time to do an interview with director Alex Turner AND review the film for CHUD.com. eye Weekly gave the film four stars, calling it "The savviest American horror flick since Cabin Fever" (scroll down past the Ghost in the Shell 2 + Zebraman reviews). Cinema Toast gives it 4 dead birds out of 5 and says "Dead Birds is a fantastic horror film".
For those people who are having a hard time figuring out the film, go on and check out Elaine Lamkin's definitive Dead Birds Movie Field Guide. Ms. Lamkin also wrote up a fun interview with Alex Turner and screenwriter Simon Barrett which you can find HERE.
DEAD BIRDS screened at this year's SXSW Film Festival. Alex attended the first screening at one of the most unique movie theaters in the country, the Downtown Alamo Drafthouse. Check out a couple of great reviews from Ain't It Cool NewsHERE and HERE.
