The Unkindness of Ravens

Really tense build up (with a pretty accurate depiction of PTSD) culminating in an all out gore fest. Really enjoyed it! With the Raven dudes being just about the creepiest things I've ever seen!

A horrible pastiche of too many other films and books.

At the core, it's a cross between The Spirals of Danu and The Warhammer novel "The Unkindness of Ravens", but without the mythos or sophistication.

Clunky dialogue and mile-wide-plot-holes make this boring by the numbers "horror" (and I use that term advisedly) one to avoid.

WARNING: This is an original horror tale, there is nothing out there like this. If original is what you want then look no further.

Great stuff from Lawrie and Sarah again in creating a weird and twisted tale that takes you on psychological journey into the human mind after a horrific traumatic event.

Jamie Scott Gordon's performance plus the eerie location and the wonderful soundtrack elevate this film to another level.

Lord Of Tears and The Undkindness Of Ravens take me back to my youth of old British Horror movies which i am an avid fan of. Two different types of Horror, the first creepy and unsettling and the latter based on the character's personal demons and fears. Both equally effective in playing with your mind.

Can't wait for the next project from these guys.

This film offers great visual effects, make up and filming locations but the story telling and script are really bad and disjointed with gore and violence thrown in without thought. The actor is good and believable but unfortunately I couldnt help feeling I had wasted an 1.25 hours of my life .

I did like Lord of Tears and gave it 6 out of 10 but there is simply no comparison with The Unkindness of Ravens. Lord of Tears showed potential but the latest movie to come from director Lawrie Brewster shows that he got his act together with the issues that film had.

The acting is utterly intense and the pace is insane especially in the last half. I don't think I've actually seen an indie horror put someone through so such hell since perhaps A Serbian Film! I'd compare The Unkindness of Ravens to The Evil Dead with parts reminding me of Phantasm. If that doesn't make much sense it's because there is not many films as strange as this.

Some of the scenes are graphic and at times I had to look away as I have a thing about eyes... and so does this movie. It also made me feel for the character and the problems are vets come home with. You really care for him. Most important for me was that it didn't have a cop out ending - but an epic finale, won't say more than that.

Another plus is that they got the guy from Lord of Tears with the beard who I thought was really good.

Lord of Tears had me on the fence, but The Unkindness of Ravens seals the deal.
