About this filmv

A wealthy woman follows a man to a small town where local birds suddenly start attacking people for no clear reason. The movie builds fear through quiet moments and the growing presence of winged creatures in the sky. The scenes use a soft palette with bright pops of green and red clothing against the blue coastal bay.
