I don't really get the low scores. For most of the running time, Dead Birds was pretty decent. Creepy location, creepy kids, creepy ambient music. I also enjoyed the time period, haven't seen too many 'cowboy versus supernatural terrors' stories. Ends kinda weak, but I definitely got my fair share of goosebumps from this one.

A twisted little tale with a rather interesting setting with Confederate soldiers having civil war era premarital sex and getting shredded by some weird demon-thing. Despite the spirited camerawork and ambition it still can't seem to pull away from the almighty horror cliche orbit. From the first 30 minutes it looked like it was really going somewhere but kind of fizzled. A film that at least tries to be a little different is still preferable to the dozens of craptastic slashers.

Promising in the beginning but overall a letdown. The story had much potential but wasn't explored enough for my taste. Also, Dr Burke, y u no operate on gunshot wound?!

Made for TV quality direction and some R rated gore, in a movie that seems to be aiming for suspense but wound up boring me to sleep. There's nothing engaging about the civil war era characters or the sprawling ghetto farmhouse where nothing happens. Problems like the lack of geography, random scattering of characters and the cliche "picked off one at a time" slasher antics made this fall far short of the ambitious chiller it set out to be.

Boring movie with some nice visuals.

Exceptionally good acting and visuals for a straight to DVD flick.

The title is very misleading - there is only one dead bird in the entire movie. That said, for a low budget movie, this movie had some pretty decent settings, practical effects / make up and acting.

gosh! we seen it all before way too many times. old houses with tragic events leading to restless ghosts killing whoever enters. It's so outdated! And why the title is named dead BIRDS is beyond me... as far i could tell exept from one dead bird lying on the ground it's got nothing to do with it. I agree there's some decent visuals but thats about it.

I almost died boooored.

Passes the time.

for a low budget b-movie it's actually pretty well made, and really scary, you should at least give this movie a chance, it's worth a watch.
