Ben Turner The Pink Lens 07/07/2024
2/5
As an erotic thriller it focuses more on the erotic, but even that is somewhat undermined by the silliness of romping about in the buff. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Think American Stranger by the Lake with more dark humour. Michael Emery delivers an amazing lead performance in this twisty queer erotic thriller whose outrageous ending is the cherry on top Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 07/02/2024
3.5/5
Director Nate Dushku encourages the cast to develop lusty connections with each other, which adds a zing of intrigue to to each scene. This keeps things enjoyably engaging even as the body count rises. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
By unleashing a serial killer onto the unsuspecting residents of a nude queer campground, Birder turns its characters' safe space into anything but. It's a steamy, sinister erotic thriller. Go to Full Review
Gary M. Kramer Philadelphia Gay News 06/27/2024
“Birder” is provocative because of its setting, and it ends on a scene that is quite intriguing. If only the rest of the film had been up to that level. Go to Full Review
Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central 06/24/2024
4/5
Birder is one of 2024’s indie hidden gems that deserves love for how daring the entire team was in crafting a smart, devious erotic thriller navigating kink, sex, intimacy, and identity. Go to Full Review

Jerod S @jeroduptown Apr 29 Ever wonder what it would be like to murder people naked? See more Rodney G 09/09/2024 Definitely not a 92% movie. Everyone in the film treats Emery like he is the most amazing person they've ever seen. The dialogue was hilarious and not in a good way. He's offing people left and right, no one smells the rotting bodies. I did like the ending but was expecting something else. Makes strangulation look like its so easy. I laughed at the absurdity of it all but I had to finish it. D+ See more Greg R @itsgregsworld 07/27/2024 Absolutely incredible. Hell yes! Amazing movie. See more @DoughB0y 07/06/2024 It's even worse than you think it is See more Christina B 07/04/2024 An American “Stranger by the Lake” See more Calvin C 06/27/2024 Storyline is fair…no idea what the main cast was doing. Most important is it’s claimed as an explicit movie… Well all the erection fake. What’s the point to show us some fake dicks. So plastics on the screen? It’s so distracting!! You better hide them! It will be a bit better for me to focus on the story and acting. See more Read all reviews
