Birds of Prey

About This Movie

Birds of Prey from 1987 is this curious blend of horror and social commentary. Directed by René Cardona Jr., it dives into this surreal narrative where a reporter, Vanessa, investigates bizarre poultry attacks. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it builds a tense atmosphere, especially when Vanessa and her cameraman Peter uncover the dark past of a town wiped out by these vicious birds. The practical effects are charmingly crude, giving it that distinct late 80s horror vibe. Performances are just right for the material, with Vanessa's determination shining through. There’s this fascinating theme of nature turning against humanity, and it really captures that sense of dread. Definitely stands out in the genre for its unique premise.
