Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Hailing from noted Mexican exploitation filmmaker René Cardona, Jr., “Beaks” rests somewhere between the intentional amateurishness of the “Birdemic” films and the enjoyable low-budget schlock of “The Birds II: Land’s End” Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Cetx E Basically a remake of Hitchcock's The Birds, but bad. A few birds are in the movie, but mostly they just fly past the screen while actors scream. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful. I only saw it in the late 80s on video because I loved The Birds so much. Absolutely horrible. Do not ever see this for any reason whatsoever. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review david c Surprisingly , a hidden gem of killer animal movies. Great visual effects. Obviously a rip off of the Hitchcock classic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An unwarranted grindhouse version of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. None of the style or tension but what it lacks in actual craft it makes up for in gruesomeness. Since it has no craft & story telling in has to rely on bloodletting & if that is all you came for then peck away. I think they really missed the boat on this bird gone amuck theme by having most of them be seagulls & pigeons (w/ the occasional hawk). Probably because they are the cheapest & the most easily trained. In one scene they go to a exotic bird sanctuary but there are no attacks. If there was a moment when flamingos were on the rampage this would have been something a little special & would bump my rating. Missed opportunities Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Vicces spanyol - mexikói koprodukciós eco - trash a và (C)rengzÅ' madarakról.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Great title... But that's about it! Extremely slow-moving and amateurish "remake" of Hitchcock's The Birds. I've seen a few terrible birds-gone-mad movies (The Birds II: Land's End and Kaw, comes to mind) but this is absolutely the worst of them.
