Featured review
A so-so Mexican/Spanish/Italian explotation movie by Rene Cardona Jr , dealing with bloody bird attacks
Thrilling and exploitative movie with horror moments and hair-raising scenes . Nail-biting and moving film concerning Vanessa Cartwright (Michelle Johnson) , a television reporter , and her good-looking camera man , Peter (Christopher Hatkins), covering a story of a farmer attacked by his chickens, discovering that this is not an isolated incident. From now on, it occurs an unstoppable chase to find the birds that are causing slaughter all around the world . A travel that transports us to lot of countries and cities : San Juan, Puerto Rico , Acapulco , Mexico , Peru , Madrid ...while people battling for survival besieged by the hungry birds , including gore and blood . Kids and adults are attacked, and, finally, everyone hides in homes tightly closed against repeated attacks by the birds . Suddenly happening more and more mass bird attacks over trains , farms , parks and houses . There is no explanation as to why this might be happening , and as the birds continue their vicious attacks , causing massacre and survival becomes the priority. You don't have a wing of a prayer!
This intriguing shocker regarding a beautiful reporter and her colleague , while they're discovering as gradually the creepy events of bird attacks on people by pecking increases . In the film there are impressive attacks , action pace enough , beautiful landscapes and lots of blood and gore . An adventure movie relying heavily on sensationalistic aspects , eerie images full of gore , nudism and exploitation . Exciting scenes when birds attack with death dropping fiercely , its magnified menace enhances more and more , soon , birds in the hundreds and thousands are attacking anyone they find out of doors. And including an ecologist message in which blame pollution for the bird attack and and concluding that the birds are organizing themselves against the ecological ravages of man . Mediocre acting from starring duo , two B-American actors : Christopher Atkins and Michelle Johnson . Being a Mexican/Italian/Spanish coproduction appearing here and there a lot of familar faces of these countries , such as Mexico : Sonia Infante , Salvador Pineda , Italy : Gabriele Tinti and Spain : Aldo Sambrell , José Lifante , Manuel Pereyro , Nene Morales, Carole James , May Heatherly , among others.
¨Beaks: The Birds 2¨ (World-wide, English title) or ¨Beaks: The Movie¨ is a rip-off to classic ¨Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds 1963¨ with Melanie Griffith , Rod Taylor , Jessica Tandy , Charles McGraw, Karl Swenson . And it was presented in Italy as "the sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963)¨. But its real follow-up was a lousy and cheesy sequel in 1994 titled ¨The birds II : land's end¨ by Rick Rosenthal under ordinary pseudonym as Alan Smithee with Brad Johnson, Megan Gallaher and again Tippi Hedren.
It contains a colorful and adequate cinematography by Leopoldo Villaseñor shot in various locations in Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Villanueva del Pardillo, Quintanar de la Orden, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha , Seville, Andalucía, Coto de Doñana, Andalucia , Spain , Lima, Peru , Machu Picchu, Nasca , Islas Ballestas, Peru, San Juan, Puerto Rico , Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico , Morocco , Rome, Lazio, Italy . Adding an eerie and suspenseful musical score by Stelvio Cipriani. This horrific retelling of the astonishing bird attacks was regularly written/produced/directed by Rene Cardona Jr who developed a long career as national as international . He was a Mexican director and writer, expert on all kinds of genres with a penchant for Terror , adventure and exploitation ; being especially known for The Treasure of the Amazon (1985) , The Bermudas Triangle (1978) , ¡Tintorera! (1977) , Cycone , Fantastic Balloon Voyage , Under Siege , The Night of a Thousand Cats , Survivors of Andes , Beaks , Carlos the terrorist and Guayana, El Crimen del Siglo (1979) . Rating : 4/10 , below average , though some moments being passable .
