Annoying and perverse video. No tension and just gore. The cast cannot act and the director cannot direct. This is so bad it's no longer fun.

I still want to give points for the gore and the fun, but in terms of characters and story, this film is very tame. Actually there is no story and you just follow a beautiful reporter (Michelle Johnson) and her photographer who investigate the reports that birds attack and kill people. In addition, you see isolated scenes of characters who become victims of aggressive birds, usually pigeons, with which you cannot build a bond at all. It doesn't matter at all what will happen to them. A disappointment for me. 4/10

You could call this film the Mexican low-budget version of The Birds (1963). Birds attack humans. A journalist reports on it and becomes involved. In a boring film we follow her on her journalistic journey to places where the birds are restless. It is a film that in no way manages to create any suspense or tension. The Birds did that much better.
The birds' attacks generally don't look very good. The intensive use of the zoom lens in particular causes irritation. The scenes look wooden and have no shock effect whatsoever. The run-up to these 'exciting' scenes is also free of any form of suspense and tension. The camera fails to create a menacing atmosphere in the scenes.
The acting is terrible. The cinematography is not interesting. And even more importantly: the story is not interesting and is also drawn out far too long with unnecessary and far too elongated scenes. The playing time thus reaches a disastrous length of no less than 86 minutes. That doesn't seem like much but, believe me, it felt like an eternity.
