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. With their supplies dwindling and their senses starting to fail them, they are faced with a horrifying question: how do you run from an enemy who lives inside your head?

    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.

    Two idiots lost in the desert talking about nothing.

    The title of the review summarizes the whole movie (sic).

    There is nothing in it. Nothing. Zero. Nilch. Zilch. Nada

    I've seen talks on Insurange Industry conferences that wore thrilling, exciting and rewarding compared to this little "gem".

    I am sure that not even the artsy-fartsy can sit through this coma-inducing opus.

    Complete Waste Of Digital Film

    Two clueless women go for walkabout in the desert with no water, no supplies and no common sense.

    Nothing happens of any interest, zero scares, zero thrills, zero plot, woeful script written on the back of a pack of Marlboros!!!

    The End!

    Bunch of crap

    Don't waste your time on this one. Nothing here unless you like background noise. Not worth the time. Better off watching the football draft. Less boring than this.

    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.
