Dead Birds
Directed by Alex Turner
In this stellar entry in the small-but-fascinating Civil War horror subgenre, a group of Confederate soldiers who deserted the army after robbing a bank hide out in an abandoned house, but soon find it’s anything but safe. As the night wears on, each group member has visions of the atrocities that occurred in the house, which created some scary Southern spirits. Featuring strong performances by Michael Shannon (BUG), Patrick Fugit (“Outcast”) and Henry Thomas (E.T.), and a script by Simon Barrett (BLAIR WITCH), DEAD BIRDS is an underrated chiller ripe for rediscovery.

It was creepy and has some jump scares
one of the best 👌
Definitely more of a slow-burn, psychological thriller. It’s interesting to say the least. Worth a watch if you’re into that type.
It's not the best, but it's not the worst either. I remember watching this at 15, scared the socks off me then, so I'm a bit nostalgic towards it. The movie overall is a bit all over the place, but it's a haunted house story at its core. Unique characters, weird vibes, but a little underdeveloped in some areas. I enjoy it, worth watching at least once.
It wasnt the best movie I ever watched however, it wasnt terrible either.
