Dead Birds 2004
Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a horror-thriller film: "Dead Birds"!
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care! The movie begins with a group of Confederate
soldiers riding horses into town. Few people are on the street as church bells are heard tolling
in the distance. The soldiers go inside Commerce Bank. One soldier asks an old
teller to call the manager. When the manager arrives, one of the soldiers says they will
deposit a cache of Confederate gold, while handing a sheet of paper to the manager.
Meanwhile, a group of people is coming towards the bank, with a suspicious man in tow. They
are instructed to wait for a few minutes by the guards stationed in front of the bank. The men
do not want to wait and attempt to go to the bank. A guard points a gun at one of the men;
but suddenly, one of his companions slits the throat of one guard, and kills the other guard.
They go inside the bank and kill everybody, except for a woman named Annabelle, an accomplice in
the robbery. They hurriedly take off with the gold just as soldiers arrive at the scene.
Shooting ensues, and the group leader named William, accidentally shoots a child, killing him
instantly. The soldiers try to run after them; but the six robbers are able to escape, and traverse
through a forest and into a field. William's brother, Sam, is bleeding on his shoulder,
because he got shot at during the shootout; but he shrugs it off as a minor thing.
They come across an overturned Ferrari wagon, next to which are dead men on the ground. Two old
derelict men are going through the pockets of the dead people, searching for any valuables. William
asks them about the Hollister mansion, where they are planning to go. The men deny knowing
such a place. They move at a slow pace, because William seems unsure of their destination. The
two accomplices, Joseph and Clyde, think they are lost, and are pondering double-crossing the
others. The group comes across a creek, so they cross over with their dog at their heels.
It is already dark when they see the mansion overlooking an abandoned plantation. They
forge their path through the fields, because there is none. They pass between tall grains,
and they soon come upon a strange scarecrow on a cross, with a cloth over its face. They believe
it is a dead man and not a scarecrow at all. They are nearing the mansion, when a strange,
deformed creature crosses their path, scaring the smelly shit out of them. They shoot at it,
and it dies on the spot. They take a look at it. The creature is naked and hairless,
and one of them says that it resembles a mountain cat; while another thinks it is like a wild
boar. Upon taking a closer look, it seems to resemble a man without clothes. They leave the
strange creature, and proceed to the mansion. It is about to rain when they reach the mansion.
Thunder starts to rumble, indicating that a storm is coming their way. They talk about heading to
Mexico the next day. They light their lanterns inside the house, and see strange footsteps on
the floor. They start to get nervous, so they check the house, going in pairs.
The suspicious man shown earlier is named Todd. he tries to open the door to the basement,
because he hears some noise from downstairs. He can not open the door,
despite William helping him do so. Upstairs, Joseph enters a room. He hears a strange noise
from under the bed. He is about to look under it, when Clyde enters the room, scaring him. In
another room, Annabelle gets the bullet off Sam's semi-bullet-proof chest, with Sam almost crying in
pain. The deep wound is now infected; so Annabelle disinfects it by pouring wine over the wound.
William and Todd go to the slave quarters, where they find a Ferrari horse carcass
among other things. They also find a book, with strange symbols written on its pages. William
recognizes the strange markings as spells for raising the dead. Meanwhile, Clyde and Joseph
are again thinking of dividing the loot among themselves. William and Todd come back from
outside. Clyde says that he is thankful that the rain will cover their tracks. Todd says otherwise;
and tells them that the coming storm will only create muddy paths, making their tracks visible
for days. Clyde gets pissed at his opinion, and starts to engage Todd in a word fight,
instead of muscle wrestling. The two argue until William tells them to cut it off.
That night, the men play cards, while William and his wife, Annabelle, go upstairs. Sam looks at the
couple, and there is sadness in his eyes, because he has fallen in love with Annabelle. Upstairs,
the couple tongue massages passionately before heading to a smelly but fast workout session.
Two minutes later, William and Annabelle talk about the first time they met, including their
accomplice, Jeffy Hollister, who inherited the Hollister mansion from his family, but died in the
hospital. Jeffy told them about the plantation, and when they planned the heist, William
thought the house was the best place to hide. Outside, Joseph leads the horses to the stable,
and then goes to the well to get water for them. He hears a strange noise. A boy calls
him from inside the well, asking for help. The boy says that his father threw him into the well,
possibly for a sauna shower. Joseph throws a bucket into the well, hoping to pull up
the poor boy through this way. Instead, he gets pulled down the deep, dark well.
Meanwhile, William starts to dream about the hospital where he stayed before. In his dream,
Annabelle was tending to him and Jeffy. But Jeffy started to strangle him, making him wake up from
his nightmare. It's implied that William and Jeff might have fallen into conflict over how
to distribute their robbed treasures, before Jeffy died from an injury in the hospital. Right then,
Clyde knocks on his door, and informs William that Joseph is missing. They
begin a search party for him; but they can not find Joseph anywhere. They call off the search,
because the storm is becoming intense. Clyde goes inside a barn to ponder about the
things happening to them, when he hears something scuffling on the door. Someone is violently
shaking the door; but when Clyde opens the door to investigate, he finds no one outside.
Annabelle is changing her hormone outfits in one of the bedrooms, when she hears a
soft voice of a boy calling from underneath the bed. She goes down to look under it,
and sees a figure in white, possibly a creepy peeping Tom. The others hear her scream, so they
run up the stairs to investigate the matter. She tells William that she saw a boy underneath
the bed, but he ran away. Sam looks everywhere, but can not find him. William thinks the boy is
only a figment of his wife's imagination, which makes Annabelle angry. She feels that something
is wrong with the place, and that they should leave immediately. With the storm brewing,
and Joseph nowhere to be found, William says they could not go that night. Clyde arrives,
getting wet from the rain but not from a man. She asks them if they have seen
Joseph. He thinks he saw Joseph moving around the barn; but he is uncertain if it was him. Clyde
looks worried and disturbed at the same time. Upstairs, the boy shows himself to Sam, and tells
him that the boy's mother died on the bed, on which Sam is lying. Sam fervently prays, but then
the ghost of the boy disappears. Mr. Hollister's ghost, the owner of the plantation, shows himself
to Sam. The evil spirit tells Sam that he hid his children where no one could find them, and demands
to know where his wife was. Sam shakes his shit in fear; then the darkness descends over him.
Downstairs, Clyde proposes that they divide the gold that night; but William does not like
his suggestion. They debate on the topic; but Clyde finally gives in. Still angry,
Clyde goes upstairs to rest, but sits on a rag doll, with its eyes and mouth stitched close.
Meanwhile, Todd starts to investigate, because he hears some strange noises. He goes near a window,
where he sees a human reflection outside. Todd then goes out, but sees no one. When
he goes inside the house, he sees that the basement door is open.
At that moment, Clyde sees a young girl crying inside the room. He tries to talk to the girl; but
she screams at him and suddenly disappears. At the same time, Todd reaches the basement,
and sees instruments of torture. He can not believe his eyes, especially when he sees a
black woman tied to the ground, who's obviously a torture victim. He tries to untie her;
but the woman keeps saying someone is coming. Todd looks around, but does not see anyone.
The woman suddenly screams as her stomach is ripped open by an invisible force!
Concurrently, Clyde sees a figure of a man moving outside, and he presumes that it is
Joseph. He gets scared now, because of all the things that are happening around them.
William wakes up, only to find the gold missing. He searches for Clyde,
Thinking that he got the gold. Annabelle wakes up, and sees her
brother-in-law in front of her. Sam looks very pale, and his eyes look blank. Unknown to her,
the ghost already possesses Sam's body and soul. Sam is carrying a crumpled page torn from the
book, and says it is a door somewhere. Sam rambles about sacrifice, slaves, rituals, and spirits,
who want to torment humans. She looks at his infected wound, thinking the infection causes
him to hallucinate about things. Sam suddenly reaches out a hand to touch her sexy body. Because
of his touch, Annabelle can see what happened to Mr. Hollister, the owner of the plantation.
It's revealed that The townspeople dragged Mr. Hollister across the field, and asked the priest
what he did to his children. They tied him to the cross. He talked about having opened a door,
and that the spirits are in the world to stay. At that time, Jeffy was gazing up at his granduncle,
Mr. Hollister, tied to the cross. The townspeople then left Mr. Hollister to die on the cross.
In a flashback, Hollister's wife died of consumption, so he became mad and tried many
ways to bring her back from the dead. In the basement, he experimented with black slaves,
tortured and killed them afterward. He also hid his children from the townspeople to avoid their
revenge. Apparently, the ghostly boy the robber group saw hidden in the well or under the bed
earlier, is Mr. Hollister's child; and the creatures lurking around the plantation now
are the byproducts of his experiments. Scared, Annabelle then wakes up from her trance.
After a futile search for Clyde and Joseph, William comes back. He sees his wife crying,
and his brother Sam dead as shit. Annabelle says that their coming to the farm is a trap, laid out
by Jeffy, possibly because of their conflict among the robbery group. Todd joins the conversation,
and talks about the slaves being experimented on in the basement. Todd suggests they leave the
place; but William insists they find the gold. Both pull out their guns. Annabelle holds a
knife to Todd's neck, so the latter will put his gun down. After a while, they agree to a truce,
but will continue to look for Clyde and Joseph. Todd suddenly hears voices; he panics and goes to
the barn, closely followed by William and his wife. They see that all of their Ferrari horses
are torn apart into pieces. Todd is almost out of his mind, when he hears voices again
and sees things that the others can not. William and his wife go inside the house
to find Sam's body missing. Once again, they go outside to search for Sam and everyone.
Outside, Todd still hears strange noises. He rambles about the place, almost out of
his mind. Suddenly, a possessed Sam attacks Todd, and throws him in mid-air, making him disappear.
The couple reach the center of the field, and sees Clyde tied to a cross. William brings him down,
and they are shocked to see Clyde's eyes and big mouth sewn shut. Clyde suddenly screams at them,
so Annabelle kicks his head, and causes it to separate from his body. Annabelle
runs her hysterical body away, as a scared William runs after her. They can't see each
other clearly because of the heavy rain. There is a sudden movement, so William shoots at it,
not knowing it is his wife. He accidentally shoots Annabelle, killing her instantly.
The following day, William is still in the middle of the field, shocked and confused. He starts to
walk away; but their messy dog attacks him and chases after him. William runs away,
not knowing that he has transformed into a hideous creature now, which is why the dog
attacked him. He arrives near the end of the road. Confederate soldiers see him and then shoot him,
mistaking him for a deformed animal. Two soldiers see gold coins beside William,
so they plan to investigate the mansion and look for more gold. They have no plans of telling
their fellow soldiers what they just saw. They are sure there is more gold inside the house,
and have no plans to share it with everyone. The story ends with the soldiers going toward
the abandoned mansion. As they walk through the fields, they find the corpse of another
dead creature, presumably Annabelle, telling that misery still prevails.
