abominablebro This was a pleasantly enjoyable movie. I, like most people who saw the previews, expected it to just by a lame rip-off of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. I was so wrong, in fact, I thought this movie was actually BETTER than The Birds. I thought the title Kaw was very creative and yet subtle. Unlike in The Birds, in Kaw there was actually a reason that the birds were all there. And it made good sense scientifically. The acting was all very well performed and the plot kept getting better and more intense the further along in the film. Also there was an actor in Kaw that was in The Birds, so I thought that was a neat little fun fact about the movie. Well I thought this movie was awesome and would recommend it to horror fans, but not to bird watchers.

pmstone The problems with this movie are too many to list. First of all, they're birds. Big birds, yes. But birds. Yes, they can peck and tear at you with it their beak. But I refuse to believe that a person will die because of a dozen lacerations on their face and hands. Of course, I can understand it with people as stupid as the characters in the movie. Oooh, big birds are attacking my car......so.....I'll throw it in reverse and drive backwards as fast as I can without being able to see where I'm going. Let's see, I'm a deputy with a shotgun. I run way out in the middle of the street and start shooting randomly in the air without aiming. I keep shooting until...what?...you mean this thing doesn't hold 100 shells? Oh my God. What will I do? Run back inside? No. Get in the truck sitting right next to me? No. I'll stand in the middle of the street and scream while they eat me. And then theirs the ravens. Yes, ravens are smart. But by that, they mean they are smart, relative to birds. That means their brains generate 2 micro amps rather than 1. Dive bombing a bus with rocks to break the windows? Are you kidding me? First of all, how did they grip the rocks. Did they find some with handles? And even then, they couldn't lift a rock big enough to break safety glass. I was so reminded of the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail when the English soldiers are debating how a swallow could carry a coconut.But in the end, ravens or not, it all comes back to the fact that they are birds. Big birds yes, but birds. Even in the original The Birds (great movie), no one fights back. If I got attacked out in the open, with no place to seek cover, there would be a lot a ravens with broken necks before they'd do enough damage to take me down. And if I had time to prepare? Get a full face motorcycle helmet, leather jacket, leather gloves, shotgun and a case a 00 buck. Then you step outside and proceed to rapidly decrease the raven population.

Claudio Carvalho On the last working day of Sheriff Wayne (Sean Patrick Flanery), his small town is attacked by blood thirsty ravens that eat human flesh. Meanwhile his wife Cynthia (Kristin Booth) visits a farm where a Mennonite family lives to say farewell to her friend Gretchen (Megan Park) and discloses a dark secret about the origin of the fierce ravens."Kaw" is entertaining, but the plot is quite ridiculous. The explanation that the ravens had eaten flesh of cattle with mad cow disease could explain their aggressive behavior or they hunger for flesh; but the ravens are smart, using for example stones to break the windows of the school bus, and the scientific conclusion is that mad cow disease makes raven intelligent. That is too much, isn't it? My vote is five.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Cemetarygirl Another coulda been good movie that almost got me cheering for the birds. People attacked by Ravens with mad cow disease, does a disservice to the Mennonites. Does a disservice to the Ravens and really puts Hitchcock on a way higher pedestal than he was already on. As others have said where did all the townsfolk go. Surely someone could help. A silly synopsis that made me see red. People killed by birds yet the blood so artistically arranged on their heads. This did not go overboard on the effects or even the blood quota. Such a shame that it was made at all. Why kill the dog, why kill Rachel? And why wasn't her husband worried about that death. Wooden acting to the nth degree. It is not a homage even using Mr Taylor. Birds was a lot more intense and a lot scarier and they probably didn't have the money or the effects available today. Bird throwing rocks Gimme a break! And Doris- why did she not die when the coach who was closer to the bus did, and could have gotten on the bus or at least under it. When I saw the thing in the well it looked like an alien human being (thought it might have been inbreed) rather than a cow. The story has no development, no guts and silly choices of kills and victims. It gets 3 because I have seen worse but I want my money back so I can buy a copy of the Birds.
