Malin Akerman, Chris Messina, and Lorenza Izzo in The Aviary (2022)
Two women flee into the New Mexican desert to escape the clutches of an insidious cult. Consumed by fear and paranoia, they can't shake the feeling that they are being followed by its leader, a man as seductive as he is controlling.

    Any Movie That Challenges the Audience Gets Bad Scores

    I think IMDB has been lobotomized by the Marvel Universe generation. Any movie that is challenging and requires any thought gets ridiculously bad scores.

    This is a good slow burn thriller. It has a non-relenting creepy feeling to it. Malin Akerman and Lorenza Izzo put in good performances as two women who have just escaped a cult. It kept me guessing right up to end and the ending, though satisfying, was not what I expected. It's the type of movie that makes you wonder what just happened.

    It's definitely worth a watch if you want an escape from mindless CGI action spectacles and want a real movie about real people where something real is at stake.

    Did the actors pay to be in this movie?

    The story is so bland and boring that the actors must have paid to be in it as a self promotion/marketing tool. Reminds me of the cheap SciFi movies the SciFy channel makes, with cheesy special effects and pointless plots and a no name cast. Cast has lots of credits, but only in "C" movies. This movie is even too bad to be the 2nd of a double feature popularized in theatres until the 70s. Prop budget must have been $100. It might be a good movie to watch if you are doing something and just want some noise in the background. I gave it a "3" because I think the actors tried their best to present a decent movie. Unfortunately, it was doomed from the start.

    Such a waste

    I mostly skipped forward and tried to find a part in the movie that wouldn't wana make me skip forward but there werent any. I choose this movie moslty because och Chris(on of my favourite actors) and he does his thing and is great as always. Malin gives a strong performance to but the plot ruins it all! I get it, the writers and the director try to reach out with the message etc but having great actors in a movie with a "scanty" plot and scenes etc- nah whata waste! Maybe, there wasn't enough budget... Because with a better backstory and more scenes with inclusive content, it could´ve been something good. Such a waste!

    Complete waste of time

    If you watch the wall of your room, it will make more sense than this movie. Give an iphone to kindergarden kids, they can shoot a better movie.

    I gave 2 stars only for Malin.

    The ONE reason you should not watch this movie

    I never give twos but, this is deserved. The one reason? This movie goes nowhere very, very, very slowly. My wife got up and left with 15 minutes left and she likes everything. I left too, with 15 minutes left you know there's no way they can pull a satisfying ending. The actresses going crazy is so annoying and so badly acted. Really call a friend, take your pet for a walk, write that email you've been meaning to write. Take the time you didn't spend on this movie and make the world a better place.
