Stars: Henry Thomas, Patrick Fugit, Isaiah Washington

Director: Alex Turner

Summary: After stealing a stash of Confederate gold, a group of criminals decide to shelter in a seemingly abandoned house. As time progresses, however, they discover that the house is not strictly uninhabited...

Eerie and atmospheric, this horror film unfolds with a chilling deliberateness that is offset by truly horrific moments. Set in Civil War-era Alabama, DEAD BIRDS follows a bickering band of deserters who have robbed a gold shipment; on the run from the law, they hide out in a deserted mansion to regroup. The estate has a rather unsavoury history, however, having housed satanic rituals performed on unwilling slaves, which ended up turning children into sharp-fanged demons. The group's attempts to escape are thwarted by an increasingly aggressive supernatural presence. The talented cast of this brooding period thriller includes Isaiah Washington (ROMEO MUST DIE), Patrick Fugit (SAVED), Henry Thomas (GANGS OF NEW YORK, LEGENDS OF THE FALL) and Nicki Aycox (JEEPERS CREEPERS II).
