Featured review
This film was a really good horror film. The director has great storytelling talent. Film had a nostalgic feeling because it was shot with 8mm camera. It felt real and I was totally blown away by the birds when they were hitting themselves to the windows and killing themselves and then eating the dead birds. That froze my mind. It was scary. The found footage genre do not give you enough room to explore the different point of views of other characters except the one holding the camera but this film was very well done and it reminded me of another film which I saw, House of Temptation.
