Les Ailes de la Terreur

Where to begin criticising Bird Flu Horror? Well, to start with, it is a very cheap-looking movie. The scenery is alright, but the editing is haphazard which I think further reduces any tension levels and the special effects were so fake I had to check to see whether it actually was made in 2008. The story is another big problem, not only does it have numerous scientific and logical errors, it is predictable and has no real sense of dread, in fact a lot comes across as overly-silly rather than anything else, but it makes the mistake of being dull. The script is cheesy and doesn't leave the actors much to work with, the birds lack any kind of menace, the direction is lazy and the characters are stereotypical and you don't care for them at all. The actors try their hardest, but you can tell they are struggling to give any credibility to anything on display in Bird Flu Horror. Overall, I've seen worse but that is not excusing the fact that to me this movie was more of a horror than any scene it was made up of. 1/10 Bethany Cox

A disgrace in film making. Bad..... Everything. It makes you feel so sad. This is what they put out now. Crap, junk and crud. How can actors so bad get in movies?????????

Lo, for the genius of humanity reveals itself in Flu Birds, the most awe-inspiring movie ever - before it's over you'll wish you were playing solitaire on your computer, it's just that grabbing. As this abomination progressed, I found myself gaping, gasping, laughing, crying, even shivering - all in agonizing pain. The epic fail this movie is, is riveting. Surely it is the horror equivalent of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which we all know is the best film ever with its Bottom 100 rating. The only thing scary about Flu Birds is the blatant discontinuity and the idiocy of the characters, all of whom are either exceedingly stupid or just plain assholes. You'll hate them all and wish them dead. The "birds" look more like pterodactyls than anything; the idea that they are even mutated doesn't fly. Their CGI was okay, although there were many scenes that were sickeningly fake. Scientific and logic flaws are so numerous there's just no counting them. Indeed, you will shed many tears of disappointment and despair that this movie could even be put into production, if it doesn't burn your eyes out first. Do yourself a favor and rent a documentary about rocks. It'll be better than this movie by far, and you're far less likely to kill yourself at the end.

You'll root for the birds. Some obnoxious noisy twerps are camping to get away from "juvie hall" for a couple of days, and a swarm of mutant bird/dinosaur hybrids decide to shut them up. They blindfold their clichéd chubby dumb guy, and send him wandering into the forest. Glad to see how the correctional system is putting our tax dollars to work. Well, at least the birdies have the right idea on how to deal with these fools, and it's worth tolerating all the screaming, yelling, bad acting, and "rebel teen" baloney just to see the birds wipe out these creeps. The losers even bait the bird creatures with an injured guy as a diversion to escape; perhaps a lame attempt at social commentary.

Feed them all (including the crew) to the birdies.

It's okay, but don't expect much. These have to be the dumbest teenagers alive. You will find yourself wishing for all of them to be eaten. Campy dialog and terrible acting but there was some decent gore.
