..... but after just 30 mins I had to stop watching it. I can't believe there was a $2M budget for this movie, what a waste of money. This is something you would expect to find on Syfy because zombie vultures? SERIOUSLY? SMH! I don't know how it ends and quite frankly I don't care either. It's truly laughable.I can't believe I actually hunted and hunted for this movie to check it out and I could rant on and on about how HORRIBLE this movie is/was, but it's wasted enough of my time already. If you haven't seen this movie, DON'T bother. You would be better off punching yourself in the face for entertainment!

Played absurdly straight by the extremely variable cast and hopelessly inept director alike, awash with ample tacky CGI effects, along with shoddy puppet vultures, laughably dreadful dialogue, copious amounts of gooey'n'graphic gore (eyes gouged out, juicy decapitations, lots of messy biting and icky flesh eating, that sort of gruesome stuff), witty references to other (much better) movies like "Star Wars" and "Phantasm," a refreshingly audacious take-no-prisoners attitude (two cutesy little kids get killed), a rare chance to see ubiquitous adorable soft-core starlet Misty Mundae keep her clothes on and act her socks off as the feisty Kat, a thrashin' hard rock soundtrack, a hilarious comic relief cross-dressing midget mutant ("Kiss the monkey!"), a neat cameo by Reggie Bannister as the amiable Uncle Ben, slick cinematography (the funky killer mutant vulture POV shots are especially cool), a hulking blind zombie brute named Gor (how original - not!), and a marvelously zesty performance by Andrew Divoff as the crazed and obsessive Russian scientist responsible for the whole ghastly mess (think "28 Days Later" crossed with "The Birds" and you'll get the general idea what this delectable chunk of prime celluloid Velveeta cheese is all about), this often uproariously atrocious abomination isn't by any stretch of the imagination remotely good, but it nonetheless rates highly as an immensely fun and frequently sidesplitting piece of gloriously silly dimestore rubbish just the same.

I really love the first Wishmaster movie. I even think that the second one is really good too. Both are with Andrew Divoff, who I had the pleasure of meeting personally at a convention. But more about that on a forthcoming Wishmaster review. Andrew Divoff plays a Russian scientist, that's all I'm going to say (which doesn't spoil anything), but never fully develops any of his previous screen charisma (apparent especially in the Wishmaster movies, but also in smaller roles (see Brisco County Jr. and others).Robert Kurtzman, who also directed the first Wishmaster movie, and was part of the famous KNB-FX Group (K being his initial of course), alone was a guarantee that the movie would be good ... well at least that's what I thought ... boy was I wrong! Relying on CGI rather than on "hands-on" Special FX, which Kurtzman could've done himself (and pretty good) was one of the baddest decision he could make ... saying it looks fake, would be a disgrace to the word "fake".The acting? Apart from the aforementioned Divoff, there's only Reggie Bannister who could work as a saving Grace. But the Phantasm star, doesn't have a chance to do so ... But then again, it's not the most original script they're working with, so I don't know, if you really can blame any of the actors (well maybe some of them at least). Of course, a movie like this does not rely on acting and or a fancy story. But as the CGI doesn't work, but against the movie, the sparse real effects, cannot elevate this experience into any level, that makes it really feel like entertainment. It's bloody alright, but you can and should expect more than that! Not to mention that the soundtrack (sounds) can and do get pretty annoying! Problem if you watch it at a theater? You can't turn the volume down, neither fast forward! But just because you can at home, doesn't mean you should try it ... I strongly recommend against that! Of course there are movies, worse than that (quite a few actually), but this also isn't an argument and/or point that works for the movie! I really hate to say it, but stray away from this movie (I didn't even get into the video quality and other stuff)

A crazed Russian doctor (Andrew Divoff of Wishmaster) experiments with a deadly new virus that turns people (and birds) into bloodthirsty mutants gets in hot water when the virus gets loose and starts infecting those in the surrounding area creating havoc for a group of teens who were out partying at an outdoor Mushroomhead concert in the nearby woods. Woodenly acted from an awfully stupefying script. The movie quite knowingly seems to be a homage to '80's cult films (mainly Evil Dead & Re-animator), but lacks the wit to pull it off as a good movie itself, despite the presence of otherwise talented Divoff, Erin Brown, and Reggie Bannister (the latter in more or less a cameo). May be perfectly acceptable fodder for 2:15 AM after a night of bar-hopping, but watching it unintoxicated is not really recommended.Eye Candy: Angela Gasparec gets topless DVD Extras: Commentary by Director/Writer Robert Kurtzman and writer John Bisson; an 80-minute Making-of featurette; photo stills gallery; 2 music videos by Mushroomhead;and Trailers for "Trailer Park Boys: the movie" & "Big bad Wolf"
