Review of The Crows

The Crows (2006 TV Movie)
4/10
An odd non comedy creature feature.
14 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Genetically altered killer crows wreak havoc in a small community to satisfy their hunger for barbecued steak and burgers.

At first glance this film plays off like a dead serious animal attack feature but its actually very odd, the crows never kill anyone in the film they just terrorize people for their meat, plus there are a couple of strange moments in the film.

1. A crow lands on a baby carriage and obviously there is a baby inside it, the baby's mother sees this but despite there being a dangerous killer bird sitting on the carriage she continues chatting with friends in the park, but when another woman runs up to the carriage to chase the bird, then the mother feels the need to get off her fat but to protect her baby from the crazy lady and not the bird.

2. Our lead character visits a university in search of the professor that may have been experimenting on the crows, the professor doesn't work there anymore so they give her his home address, she goes there and meets his wife who then tells our leading lady that her husband is dead, later we find out that the university also knew this fact but neglected to mention it.

I might have spoiled a few things here but trust me this film is nothing to cry over, its not the worst film out there but you can do better by a trillion miles, plus this a German made for TV movie and I saw it dubbed in English, so I can't judge the acting but the dubbing makes it appear very stiff, as far as the script goes its not borderline incompetent but it tries way too hard to tell a story.

Final Verdict, there are way better options than this film in the same genre, watch this one only if you're bored.
