The Birds - Attack From Above (Original title: Kaw ) is an American horror film from 2007 by director and producer Sheldon Wilson .
action
Sheriff Wayne has his last day of work in a small American town in Pennsylvania before he plans to move to the big city with his wife, Cynthia. But it is precisely on this day that strange incidents pile up. It all begins with a farmer who is found lifeless in his barn. The deaths are increasing and it finally becomes clear that this is due to aggressive swarms of raven, which are increasingly populating the small town and targeting both residents and travelers. So the residents try to stay in their sheltered houses. Obviously the ravens are infected with a kind of pathogen that increases their potential for aggression.
While searching for the cause, Sheriff Wayne learns that in a Mennonite settlement near the city, cows and cattle died in a kind of epidemic and that ravens were infected while eating the meat. The pathogen eventually leads to the death of the birds, so that there is a small group of survivors among humans.
Happy to have escaped relatively unscathed, Sheriff Wayne and his wife, Cynthia, enter their house. But they find out that a few birds have survived and are now being attacked again by them.
criticism
The lexicon of international films rated: "A very exciting television remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic ' The Birds ', well played and solidly staged."
The critics of the television magazine tvspielfilm.de said: “Dear director, if you step into the ring with Hitchcock, you will get a bloody nose. Especially if your tame 'The Birds' infusion has no budget. You succeed in some moments of tension, some animal horror fans even see talent in your hand-written work. For your future career, there is still a tip from our 'Great Remake Guide': Stay away from the classics! - Belongs to the genus of filmic scavengers "
Others
