ThiefHott Too much of everything

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

GL84 A group of friends touring Ireland for a re-acquaintance trip run afoul of a gang of gypsies during an accident and are soon stalked by a gigantic predatory bird as part of their revenge on the friends, forcing them to battle the vicious creature to get away alive.This one isn't so bad and comes off a lot better than it should. One of the better elements in here is the rather impressive attack scenes which are frequent enough in here to really work quite well. The first attack on the RV and the ambush on the stranded truck in the forest, being the first ones in the film anyway, are quite fun showing off the creature's antics quite well as the surprise attacks give the bird a behavior that's quite chilling. Likewise, the scenes in the woods are just as much fun as they manage to not only feature the stalking by the townspeople through the fog-shrouded landscape but also the incredibly dramatic secondary scene in the creature's nest where it plays up much more tense situations alongside plenty of thrilling action with the location-setting having as much to do for the scene as well. These do manage to help it overcome enough of its flaws to make for a pretty entertaining effort although its flaws are still apparent. The biggest one here is undoubtedly the lack of anything here about the actual bird in any shape or form. All we're given is a line or two about a mythological bird of prey that it supposedly resembles but that's barely touched upon by the gang, then it turns around and has the locals not only ignore that telling but also give a totally different explanation and name for the creature. This makes it hard to follow what's going on while also questioning why the mythological viewpoint was even brought up to begin with. Following that viewpoint, this also manages to greatly differentiate the birds' impact on the community as the creature's initial attacks are suggested to be a curse on the group yet the search to acquire the protective medallion implies it's always been around so their actions are so scatter shot and confusing it really does lower this. Along with the weak CGI that runs rampant here, these do lower this though it does have those good parts to hold this up.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Claudio Carvalho Six teenagers travel to Ireland in a RV road trip expecting to have fun in their vacation. They stop in a bar and Anita (Roisin Murphy) offers 100 Euros to buy the medal of the gypsy Luca (Ned Dennehy). He accepts the money, but delivers another brooch. The troublemaker Chuck (Diarmuid Noyes) takes the medal from Luca and they flee to the RV. However, they accidentally run down a clairvoyant gypsy that curses them before she dies. Soon they learn that they are chased by the legendary bird Simuroc and by the gypsies that want to retrieve Luca's medal."Roadkill" is a dreadful movie with a predictable story that entwines the plots of other teen horror movies in an awful collection of clichés and stereotypical characters. There are dozens of movies showing teenagers in a road trip that goes wrong and a gypsy curse can be seen in "Drag me to Hell" or "Thinner". The giant bird is probably the only "original" part of this movie. What is Stephen Rea doing in this flick? My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "A Fúria de Simuroc" ("The Anger of Simuroc")

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all, I have to say that for an original SyFy movie, then "Roadkill" was actually quite good. SyFy have put a lot of really cheesy and bad monster/horror movies out there, so it was a nice breath of fresh air to actually see something nice from them.The story takes place in Ireland, where a group Americans plan to travel the country by an RV. However they have an accident with some gypsies and end up getting cursed by a dying woman. The curse is that each and every one of them will be killed by a terrible roc.That being said, then I found the acting in the movie to actually be quite alright. And most memorable in "Roadkill" was Ned Dennehy (playing Luca, one of the gypsies)."Roadkill" have adequate effects. Of course, don't expect to be blown away with award-winning CGI effects, this is SyFy after all. But still, compared to many of their other movies, "Roadkill" actually pulled off some nice enough effects and CGI. The roc itself looked interesting, though I was wondering why it had no feathers at all, it looked sort of like a weird, plucked carrion bird. But still, it worked out well enough.You are easily immersed into the story and I found myself to be thoroughly entertained throughout the entire movie. So for a SyFy movie, this was actually not all that bad. I am rating it 5/10 only because it was a fairly mediocre plot that held nothing particularly new or interesting to be seen. "Roadkill" is good entertainment, however it just lacks that particular something to make it rise above mediocrity.

ctomvelu1 Score one for SyFy Channel and the generically titled "Roadkill." A bunch of good-looking your people are on a road trip in Ireland when they accidentally hit an old gypsy woman, who places a curse on them. They also run afoul of her peculiar hillbilly-like family. The curse comes in the form of a most unpleasant flying beast, a roc from ancient Greek mythology, which picks the youths off one by one. The roc is of course a CGI creation, but is several steps up from most other CGI creatures that populate SyFy-made flicks. The kids themselves are nothing special, but the film has the advantage of having been shot on location. Very reminiscent of "Jeepers Creepers II," and any film involving killer hillbillies ("Wrong Turn," for instance) and gypsy curses ("Thinner" comes to mind). Worth a look.
