Although it seems to be going for something character driven and ambient, it doesn’t skimp on gore – some nice splattery bits along with a little CGI that didn’t bother me. A film from fifteen years ago, an underexplored era in the sense that it’s neither classic nor contemporary. Recommended.

I remember
Dead Birds. Not seen it for years. there were a few gems that came out that are probably forgotten around that period such as
Hallowed Ground and some probably only i liked -
Death Tunnel, Wrestlemaniac, 7 Mummies, Dead and Dying - that sort of thing. All do seem to have more ambition than what we generally get nowadays, or perhaps that's just me and my non-interest in rentaghost, sorry, poltergeist films doing the rounds for the last few years.
Nice thoughts on
Suspiria too, Frankie. I think you mention everything except a story.
