    Finally, someone has the brass balls to make a zombie movie with birds in it. Not zombie birds, but plain ole birds. Bravo.
    I don't know what it is about crappy eighties Italian horror that I love so much. The terrible acting, the synth score, the lack of style, the cameos by ... read moreAmerican has beens... so much to choose from. This doesn't fare well when compared to good horror films, but if you're looking for mindless fun (these Italian films are my popcorn/guilty pleasure films-like my version of Transformers) prepare to marvel at the stupidity of one film. Just keep telling yourself, "It's only a crappy movie. It's only a crappy movie".

    Interesting plot.

    Takes a good hour to break out of Louisiana-travelogue mode but once it does, Killing Birds turns into a pretty spooky movie. Supernatural goings-ons abound in the final third of the movie so, if you dig other Italian exports like The Beyond and City of the Living Dead, take my w... read moreord for it and stick around. You won't be (entirely) dissatisfied.

    This film should be recommended to ONLY people who are completists. If you've seen the other films and NEED to see this, well go ahead. Be warned: this is an awful film. Not awful but good, just awful. First, there is a complete lack of Zombies. How do you forget those? Second, s... read moreomebody must have blackmailed Robert Vaughn. That's my reasoning behind him being in this film. He's in the film for barely a minute. I was in the film longer. See it if you must but, wait, just don't bother. Every time this film is viewed an infant is burned alive.

    It's a real shame. They could have done a lot with this one. But at least there's always 'Bird School'
