Kaw (2007)

If this wasn’t a made-for-TV production, then I wouldn’t even give it a 3. It could’ve been good, but it was ruined by belabouring many obvious plot points, to make sure that everyone “got it”. OK, I got it, I don’t need it rubbed into my face.Being a Canadian production, it was annoying that they tried to hide this fact and pretend it was American. Things like a mailbox with “US Mail” written on it. Not fooling anybody, better to be what it really is.The CGI birds were transparently fake.There were too many overly irritating characters, the kind you always find in schmaltzy American dramas. I don’t know who started that trend, but I was just hoping it was mercifully running out. Oh, well.Don’t believe any of the reviews here that say it’s brilliant. It’s not. I had trouble staying awake to the end. No scares here.
