Awful. Just Awful.

OK, you've got those silly mennomites or whatever wearing a real amateur beard. So fake, it is funny and destroy the horrifying mood, if some can find one in the movie.

The waitress is fighting the birds with a... flashlight, just like beautiful Tippy, in The Birds.

They board up the diner, just like the house in The Birds.

There is a fire at the gas pumps, just like we see in the village of Bogeda Bay, in The Birds.

These birds are raving...huh... mad but bright enough to drop stones in the windows of a school bus, diving and striking, in this birdy version of Pearl Arbor.

In The Birds, Tippy frighted off tons of birds in the upstair room and managed to stay alive. In Kaw ? Well, a handful of ravens can kill one person in 4 to 5 seconds with only a couple of scratches on their face.

The police chief is wearing a gun holster like those cowboys in westerns, the gun hanging loose about mid-tigh, not to mention the crisp uniform shirt and the... faded jeans.

When the police chief and his wife gets back home, the only thing on their mind is to go upstair to make love. Come on, the town is in mayhem, corpes all over the place, dead birds left and right, and after what the couple went thru, their mind stays calm and dead set on making it in the bedroom ? Am I missing something ???

Of course, by this timemwe all know what awaits them on the second floor to mark the end of the movie. So original !

The only good thing on the DVD I rented is the interview with that great man, Rob Taylor, who plays Doc in the movie and was one of the main characters in the original The Birds. Loved is voice imitation of Hitch!
