Dead Birds

My Rating: 6.1/10

I can't say this was the worst horror movie I've ever seen, but it didn't even really come across as much of a horror movie. There were some scary parts, but the whole thing dragged in more than one spot. Plus, the setting was kind of boring for a scary movie.

If you want to see a movie that embodies everything in the slasher horror genre (and you've already seen Halloween) this is the movie to watch. I anticipated this movie like no other. I first heard about it online and how it terrified European audiences, then I heard it was supposed to be released uncut with an NC-17 rating for violence in the United States - it would have been the first movie to do so had that happened. Sadly, they cut the movie down for an R rating and dubbed over the original French language... so I waited for the DVD and I was not disappointed. This is one of the greatest horror films ever made and will always have a special place in my DVD collection.

I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into with this movie when I rented it from the video store. All I knew was that the plot sounded interesting and it starred Ellen Page. I was completely blown away. It was the first time I had ever seen this kind of movie making where the many thoughts of the character were expressed on the screen all at the same time. Many points throughout the movie there are 6 or 8 different things happening on screen at once and it takes you into the confusion of the character. The entire movie is well acted and I highly reccommend it.

Re-Release posts are movies that I haven't seen in a while but enter my train of thought during the day, so I post something about them.

This is honestly one of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. My faith in the horror genre is much lower than it used to be. It seems like people are just reusing old ideas and trying to make them seem new, but this movie takes a mostly original concept and pushes it to the extreme. I have enjoyed nearly everything Alexandre Aja has done so far and cannot wait to see what he does in the future.

I really enjoyed this movie and I think I would enjoy watching it many more times. It just put me in a really good mood. I think it had a lot of the same humor as Juno, but it didn't come off as being in your face. This movie felt like I could relate to it instead of seeming like it was made by people who thought they were above everyone around them.
