The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film is relatively well made. I never doubted the existence of these ravens, nor their animosity towards humans. It was well shot and had some decent actors too. The problem is that it played it too straight. It never really found the humour. This would be OK if it managed to get the tension or scares right, but it just fizzles flat. This is a real pity, as you may as well watch The Birds, a truly terrifying film that also shows why you shouldn't explain everything. Kaw even takes one of the actors from that film, when it should have just had more fun. Not embarrassing, but not incredibly entertaining either. The best thing about it is the title, which I can't help but say in an annoying bird sound kind of way.

REALLY MINOR SPOILERS, TRIED NOT TO GIVE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT AWAY!Not even British ravens, so they're pretty small. Looked like crows to me.Still, you know how creature features tend to have an explanation for the growth and/or outbreak of the featured creature? This has the BEST.Fully covers how they got it and why it makes the ravens turn into pack killers, and why they'll learn better and more effective methods of attack and then revert back to their useless attacks....Wait, no, it doesn't cover any of that.Also worth a look for the WORST DOCTOR EVER! Even by creature feature standards, was he even trying?Another film that could be fun with friends and good food if you have some time to kill.

this is just like Jeepers Creepers 2, bus, leave for a while then come back, attack bus and people in it. I got so sick of the deja vu. It was an OK movie. But I hope to see an improved Kaw 2. This movie is also just like Alfred Hitchcocks "The Birds". There are parts of Kaw where I just want it over, or to get to the scary parts. I wish this movie had more individuality. But what you get is what you get... i guess. I think there also could've been better acting. On acting guidelines it's about a 2/5. You people may wonder why this movie has no awards and nominations. well, their commercialism is extremely low. There was no "The Birds 2". So that might be a sign about Kaw. Kaw is a modernized "The Birds" to me. But it is in a total other league. My verdict, watch Kaw if there's nothing else to watch or if you don't believe my comment.

The problems with this movie are too many to list. First of all, they're birds. Big birds, yes. But birds. Yes, they can peck and tear at you with it their beak. But I refuse to believe that a person will die because of a dozen lacerations on their face and hands. Of course, I can understand it with people as stupid as the characters in the movie. Oooh, big birds are attacking my car......so.....I'll throw it in reverse and drive backwards as fast as I can without being able to see where I'm going. Let's see, I'm a deputy with a shotgun. I run way out in the middle of the street and start shooting randomly in the air without aiming. I keep shooting until...what?...you mean this thing doesn't hold 100 shells? Oh my God. What will I do? Run back inside? No. Get in the truck sitting right next to me? No. I'll stand in the middle of the street and scream while they eat me. And then theirs the ravens. Yes, ravens are smart. But by that, they mean they are smart, relative to birds. That means their brains generate 2 micro amps rather than 1. Dive bombing a bus with rocks to break the windows? Are you kidding me? First of all, how did they grip the rocks. Did they find some with handles? And even then, they couldn't lift a rock big enough to break safety glass. I was so reminded of the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail when the English soldiers are debating how a swallow could carry a coconut.But in the end, ravens or not, it all comes back to the fact that they are birds. Big birds yes, but birds. Even in the original The Birds (great movie), no one fights back. If I got attacked out in the open, with no place to seek cover, there would be a lot a ravens with broken necks before they'd do enough damage to take me down. And if I had time to prepare? Get a full face motorcycle helmet, leather jacket, leather gloves, shotgun and a case a 00 buck. Then you step outside and proceed to rapidly decrease the raven population.
