Goofs

While it is true that Mennonites speak in a slightly different way from other modern Americans, their speech is not like the way the Mennonite characters speak. The most common error is the addition of French-root and Latinate words as most Mennonite speech is characterized by a reliance on German-root words.

User Reviews

Mad Kaw Disease

It's a Sci Fi Channel movie. With killer ravens that got infected from Amish mad cows. I thought it was relaxing to watch the film, expecting every bit of it to be as it was and not getting disappointed. I wasn't expecting much, though.

The result was some shoddy CGI birds, a lot of scenes ripped off from The Birds, no script, nothing scary, people dying from superficial wounds and car accidents, a big explosion to save the day and a quick scare last scene.

Bottom line: no reason why you should see this film. No reason why you shouldn't, either. It's the perfect zen TV movie, in perfect balance.
