    Editorial Reviews

    A handful of thieves discover they have more to worry about than the law in this independent horror story, set during the Civil War. William (Henry Thomas) is the leader of a group of runaway Confederate soldiers who, with the help of an escaped slave and an Army nurse, stage a daring robbery at a bank holding a cache of rebel gold. The heist does not go smoothly, and William's associates soon fall into in-fighting as they head toward Mexico with their stolen fortune. Needing a place to rest for the night, the criminals set up camp in a mansion overlooking an abandoned plantation, but it soon becomes obvious that the old house is not as empty as they thought, as a handful of angry ghosts make their presence known while William and his cohorts fight over the gold. Also featuring Isaiah Washington, Patrick Fugit, and Michael Shannon, Dead Birds was the first feature film from director Alex Turner. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    January 07, 2009: This is a different kind of horror movie,but a keeper.....It has creepy things running around in the movie now and then,just to see them is worth watching it,but they dont appear often enough.Its in my collection,so it must be good.

    Creepy but not really satisfyingby Anonymous

    October 01, 2005: I give this film three stars because it rates high in overall creepiness, but the backstory for the reasons behind the haunting of the old mansion is kind of muddled. From what I could gather, the previous owner of the mansion tried to bring his wife back from the dead by sacrificing his slaves in an occult ritual, but his attempt backfired and he brought back a demon instead. I'm not sure why his two children ended up as demons (perhaps they died of consumption like his wife, or maybe he killed them because his wife made them into demons too?) Anyway, I think it's an overall creepy film due to the twist at the end and it's definitely worth checking out.
