Mind your beak! - Kaw review by NP
A satisfying mixture of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot' and Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds', 'Kaw' deals with the uprising and increasing onslaught of an unkindness of vengeful ravens. CGI brings the majority of these birds to life and although I have deep reservations about such effects used when the budget is less than stellar, the results are convincing enough here.
What really lifts the film, though, is Sheldon Wilson's confident direction, Ben Sztajnkrycer's pacey story and the strong playing of the cast.
'Kaw' doesn't revolutionise the face of horror, or even avian horror, but it tells its story well and presents a convincing atmosphere of growing unease.
