Flu Bird Horror (2008)

Two amateurish hunters are attacked by creepy birds in the woods. Meanwhile seven delinquents are camping in the forest with their counselor in a program of reintegration to the society. Suddenly they are attacked by the birds and the counselor dies and one of the youngsters is wounded. The brutal Johnson (Jonathon Trent) imposes his leadership by force to the others while they are hunted by the birds. Meanwhile the ranger Garrett (Lance Guest) finds one of the hunters fainted in the forest and brings him to the hospital. Dr. Jacqueline Hale (Clare Carey) discovers that the patient is contaminated by a lethal influenza and she calls CDC that seals off the hospital putting everybody in quarantine. The youngster Eva (Sarah Butler) calls Garrett and tells their position, but the chief of security decides to blow up the whole area. "Flu Birds" is a lame and stupid horror movie with a dreadful story, awful characters and terrible acting. It is impressive how flawed and unintelligent the badly written screenplay is, with clichés and mistakes. There are so many stupidities but I would like to highlight the following: (1) The security guard shoots the doctor and feels sorry, but he is incapable to physically block her. (2) The scene with the soldiers shooting at the birds is something pathetic. (3) The hunter in the beginning leaves his friend instead of shooting the bird. (4) The sacrifice of Johnson killing the two birds (weren't they five?) in the end is absolutely incoherent with the personality of the character. (5) The hospital is forgotten in the rest of the story. (6) The leader of the security flies with the pilot alone to bomb the cabin is also terrible. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Vale dos Mortos" ("Valley of the Dead")

Wow I was shocked at how badly done this movie was! From the beginning where the hunter with the gun decides to run from the killer birds while they kill his friend,and not shoot at them. Then shows up later in the woods without his gun? Threw it away I guess? To the point where the military soldiers get attacked by the birds and you can actually see the lady soldier at the desk in HQ smiling? (Teach her to act!) Or to the security guard that tells the doctor trying to leave a quarantined area he will shoot her and feels so bad about shooting her,but doesn't try to physically stop her,but merely spins around after she passes him and shoots her dead without a thought,but then feels bad? Oh and my absolute favorite part? Well that just has to be the woman in the mine/cave/fort thing counting that there are FIVE killer birds. Only then to have us watch ONLY 2 enter the cave and get blown up! (Don't tell me they did that for a sequel!) I'm on a bad streak! I just watched Outpost before this one!

Just use fishing as an excuse for anything.If you hear a roar in the woods and your friend is standing about three feet from you, it is prudent to ask, "Did you hear that?" If you are carrying a shotgun when a large bird-like creature swoops down and starts chewing on your pal, show him what friends are really for and run like hell.If you are blind-folded when playing a stupid camp game, make sure you wander deep into the woods and way out of earshot of help before removing your blindfold.If giant flying dinosaur-like creatures attack your camp, run for cover in a nylon tent, especially if you just watched them peck the counselor to death.Delinquents are always more resourceful than armed people and the authorities.Nothing brings people together like a group smoke.Standing by and watching while people you know get eaten by monsters is never fruitful.When on the run from flying, mutated bird monsters, you can always find time to stop and make out in the woods.Apparently beating the hell out of equipment you perceive to be faulty won't fix it after all.Two delinquents with shotguns are more effective at shooting monsters than heavily-armed, highly-trained military personnel.If you are with a group of people, most of whom have guns, be sure not to fire at a monster that is essentially at point blank range in your car window.We will never know where the bird monsters came from.We will never truly know if all of them were destroyed.We will never know if the strain that went air-born at the hospital got out.We will never know what eventually happens to our heroes.But all in all, "people can change."

So my warning to those of you who have not yet wasted their time, no matter how cheap you may view it, DON'T.This is what the Sci-Fi Channel is becoming known for; brain-dead movies which are not in the least "Sci-Fi". At one point in history, not so long ago, say, prior to 2002, the Sci-Fi Channel was true to its name. Then came movies like this. And in droves! Garbage, pitiful piles of dung which never cease to amaze for the sheer low quality they exude.What's most notable about this "movie" is the sheer LACK of anything GOOD to say about it! Rare is the movie which is of such all-encompassing lackluster merits that there are no good points to be offered. No, this movie doesn't even have the "cheese" appeal; you can't even say "it's so BAD it's GOOD"! If you want that, watch some of the Japanese monster films from the 1960s.About the only remarkable quality of this film is how the Sci-Fi Channel manages to produce movies which continue to get WORSE.
