Speaking of G&G, I can hardly believe the high rating (6.0/10) it has on imdb. 6′s or above are reliably good movies on that most wonderful of all websites. System failed there.

LOL. That’s unfortunately a true statement about Gods and Generals.

Drew,

I may have to go ahead and pick this one up from Deep Discount DVD when they run one of their massive sales. It can probably be had for less than $7.

The film did seem to lose focus. It was an interesting concept, though. The CW angle was not central – this could have been the same movie with a cast of high schoolers. But it didn’t wrap up well, and was very uneven. But as I said, it’s not the worst movie I’ve seen…not even the worst CW movie. But on many levels Gods and Generals was much more frightening.

I caught this one on one of the numerous Showtime channels last night. I thought it was an interesting idea but one that failed to truly deliver in the end. I absolutely LOVE horror films, so I’ve seen quite a few over the years. Vague endings to me are sometimes scarier than when you know what happened, but Dead Birds just didn’t quite get it right. I’d give it a 5/10, about what IMDB has it at.

On another note, the main actress in the movie looked REALLY familiar to me. I checked, and sure enough, she was one of the cheerleaders in Jeepers Creepers II (a truly crappy film and not nearly as good as the original, which I liked). She also played the demon Meg in Supernatural, a show that I’ve really grown to like over its first three seasons. Thanks for the info that it was playing on Showtime. I probably wouldn’t have caught it otherwise.
