Where Birds Don't Fly: Potential squandered
4 August 2018
Where Birds Don't Fly has a fantastic opening, beautifully scored and well written. I immediatly thought this ultra low budget crime film would be good based on this, I was sorely mistaken.

It tells the generic story of the police after a brutal serial killer, sadly it tells a very very boring story.

Within 10-15 minutes of that fantastic opening sequence it becomes apparent that the film isn't going to retain the same level of quality. Considering it was made for a budget of 5k it looks adequate but the writing doesn't make for very engrossing viewing.

Bizzarely tame considering the severity of the killers actions and frustratingly boring this is one crime thriller that isn't all that thrilling.

The Good:

Some good writing

Well scored

Fantastic opening scene

Love the title

The Bad:

Gets real boring real fast

Seen it all a thousand times

Far tamer than it should have been

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When a person doesn't want to actually make any sort of effort they'll just pray

The Auschwitz story regarding this birds is fiction
