Roadkill (2011)

[WingedSerpent]

Watched this Friday, and for a Syfy movie,  it wasn't all that bad.  I had been meaning to see it since the cover features "Crawling Woman"  that we've noticed on several movie covers.

Six post college friends are taking a road trip through Ireland, when they get themselves placed under a curse that has them being hunted by a large bird called a Rocc.

Let me get the bad out of the way first.  This is still a Syfy movie so it has a lot of what that entails.  Some of the characters are annoying and due stupid things.  The monster is all cheap CGI.  And the plot is one I'm sure a lot of us have seen before.  One of the only real twists is that the final survivor isn't who I thought it would be.

But I think it was decently paced, had one or two practical gore effects. The monster stays a constant threat or presences through the movie-so not a lot of  unnecessary downtime.  And really, there aren't a lot of killer bird movies.  There's The Birds by Alfred Hitchock, the Birdemic series, and off course theThe Giant Claw.  (I know there's probabl others, but none I can really think of right now)

Speaking of the Giant Claw.  Its obvious the Roc in this movie is modeled after the infamous big-as-a-battleship-buzzard.  It looks like a somewhat less goofy version of it. 

If you can watch a Syfy original, you should be able to get through this: no problem.  Wasn't bad.  Might watch it again sometime.

For a second I read 'a more goofy version of the Giant Claw', and wondered how that was possible before I realised my mistake.

You should create a blog where you only review movies whose posters feature the Crawling Woman, and rate them as to how much crawling is in them.

I love this idea.

I love this idea. 

I feel if we're going to do that, we should come up with a name for her instead of constantly calling her the Crawling Woman.   Cathy Crawl ,  or Slithering Samantha.

I just watched it yesterday, It's pretty good but maybe still not interesting enough for me.
