The Aviary

It's clear from the reviews that this movie isn't for everyone.

Do you want action or jump scares? If so, this movie isn't what you're looking for.

On the other hand, if you want a slow burn that cultivates a genuinely creepy atmosphere and keeps you guessing right up to the end, give this a watch.

It starts with two women in the desert who are escaping a cult, which I'm sure the makers' lawyers will assure us is in no way inspired by Scientology. We learn their story in bits and pieces, but it's also clear that their memories are not entirely reliable.

This is definitely a "less is more" movie, and they do a lot with a very low budget, few actors, and almost no sets. Maybe a little slow in the middle, but definitely pays off at the end.

I would really love to see more like this.

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.

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.

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.

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.
