First off let me say, Kaw isn't for everyone. Some might get sick waiting for the action to really start up and once you've watched an hour of the flick the birds can no longer hold your interest that well. But the main thing that separates this flick from the other Sci Fi original movies is the creepy atmosphere and superb acting.As always, the creature effects aren't to grand and the writing is quite dry, but B-Movie lovers will see Kaw as a gem. I'd say it's renting material. But definitely not worth 13 bucks.All in all the film definitely shouldn't be rented in hopes of watching a good remake of Hitchcock's "The Birds". But when there's nothing else to do on Saturday afternoon, Kaw is a great movie. 5/10

This was a pleasantly enjoyable movie. I, like most people who saw the previews, expected it to just by a lame rip-off of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. I was so wrong, in fact, I thought this movie was actually BETTER than The Birds. I thought the title Kaw was very creative and yet subtle. Unlike in The Birds, in Kaw there was actually a reason that the birds were all there. And it made good sense scientifically. The acting was all very well performed and the plot kept getting better and more intense the further along in the film. Also there was an actor in Kaw that was in The Birds, so I thought that was a neat little fun fact about the movie. Well I thought this movie was awesome and would recommend it to horror fans, but not to bird watchers.

It's a Sci Fi Channel movie. With killer ravens that got infected from Amish mad cows. I thought it was relaxing to watch the film, expecting every bit of it to be as it was and not getting disappointed. I wasn't expecting much, though.The result was some shoddy CGI birds, a lot of scenes ripped off from The Birds, no script, nothing scary, people dying from superficial wounds and car accidents, a big explosion to save the day and a quick scare last scene.Bottom line: no reason why you should see this film. No reason why you shouldn't, either. It's the perfect zen TV movie, in perfect balance.
