Hmmm... I'm not sure how I felt about this movie. Original, that's for sure. But, I couldn't help but feel as if the whole movie was dishevelled. I know it was supposed to be a character development but, you had the sense that there were too much of it. It took too long to get to why these people were there. And by the time I got there, I just didn't care much for it. The movie was starting to get on my nerve. And the ending, left a bad taste in my mouth. It felt unfinished. And it's unfortunate. I get where they wanted to go with their idea but, it just fell flat. I wanted to be amazed, and it ended up being "meh". Also, what the heck happened to the first guy?!

I read the other reviews and I can only conclude that apparently we didn't see the same movie. Or maybe all the positive reviews are just from people that were involved in this movie and therefor they won't write an honest review. Because let's be honest, this movie sucks. I've seen thousands of movies in my lifetime and this one is certainly not one I will remember as excellent. I will just remember the amount of gory details because they were pretty graphic. I have no problem with that at all, because that's what you expect when you watch a slasher movie but the acting was just not good enough. Some characters were in fact really annoying. The story could have been much better if better executed. All in all I was struggling to make it till the end. That's how boring it was...

This came out in 2013. It's 2016 now. This is nothing but a piece of soft porn peddling itself as, not a great movie, but a POS movie. No.1 -- the movie has absolutely no redeeming qualities, No. 2, all of the actors were obviously rejected for their last 20 movie auditions, and 3) the scriptwriter quite possibly wrote this while on drugs, not anything anyone in the sane world might appreciate. Just skip over it, and pray that everyone involved with this piece of garbage went on to find a higher calling in life. There is not a single scene where you feel ANY empathy for the characters present while there are plenty of scenes where you say, "HARSH, that person wasn't so bad" GO...GO....run from it!!! The power of Christ commands you!!!
Most seasoned horror movie fans know the scenario, you visit your local DVD provider, scan the racks for something half decent,pick up something with a lurid and enticing cover, only to discover within minutes of putting it in the player, that it is another incompetent amateur crapfest. My heart literally sank in my chest when after the obligatory production company logo flashed across the screen, I was confronted with badly lit, badly shot, badly acted and badly scripted opening scene. Things don't improve after either, characters speak with different accents,the attempts at drama are laughable and the cameraman seems drunk.There are bucketloads of blood splashed on the screen during its runtine , but thats of scant reward when there's nothing going on of interest, entertainment value or competence before or after the gore. Don t let the cool artwork or interesting premise lure you in. Save yourself an hour and half of your life and avoid this dud.

A stylish, violent horror done on a tight budget. 'Wrath of the Crows' contains some decent effects and coupled with a relatively interesting story (but the crows in the title hardly feature, so is somewhat misleading). This movie would be easily dismissed by some but i'd give it a watch and a fair chance.

The visual imagery of this film is stunning, the acting is fantastic, and the story was gripping - all wrapped up with an ending that was not expected.
The way the back stories of the various characters were interlaced with their current situations allowed you to completely understand how they found themselves in the places they were in, and as the overall story line was allowed to blossom, you were let in on secret after secret until you could see the entire picture!! Occasionally terrifying and continually gripping, the overall result was very well done and is something I will seek out to see again.

I struggle greatly with reading reviews on IMDB. The ones that rip movies to shreds are almost always filled with false equivalencies, foolish comparisons, and outright blatantly subjective snobbery. On the other hand, the "perfect 10" reviews are often just as misguided, though they number far less than the former. Most of what I watch these days is independent horror, and without fail, there is at least one review on even decently-average flicks that claims it is the worst movie ever made. There are certainly some indie horror movies out there where this is the case, or at least could have an argument made to such a claim, but by in large, what the heck to people expect from independent cinema? This is where I think so many reviewers get it wrong; the approach to independent movies is all wrong and is used in comparison to the best of indie cinema, when in fact, a movie should be judged solely on its merits, without comparison to another, unless there is some red thread (eg same director, actors, etc).
That said, Wrath Of the Crows is DEFINITELY not as bad as many reviews make it out. I found the story to be unique and original - the synopses does no justice to the actual scenarios and result. I didn't realize there was such a connection to the occult when I originally read the plot, but was pleasantly surprised to reach the conclusion.
As for the film itself, some of the acting is a little awkward at times, but I wouldn't call it bad. As the stories progress, this fades. The direction, production, and cinematography was very good. Some very good use of color, filters, and light really contribute to the feel and timbre. The music, sound, and Foley are also very good. When you add that all up it makes for a good film.
Some notes on parental content:
All in all, it was a very enjoyable film. One of the negative reviews notes how "a bunch of random characters" are in jail...but aren't all characters in movies random? Give this one a shot, just go in to it without expecting or comparing to other films. Judge it on its merits and you should enjoy it!

Some notes on parental content:
- some profanity, though not exorbitant.
- nudity is brief, though there are two scenes with bare women's breasts
- intense scenes...emmm...I wouldn't call this film intense. Not in a frightening way. Though, it is a bit grim at times.
- violence/gore definitely play a role in the film. Some reviews say this move is over the top gory. I do not find this correct. There are a couple of lightly gory scenes, and while the fx are fine, the "moment of contact" is not often shown, rather the after affects. It is violent, and there is a fair amount of (somewhat fake) blood, so it is not devoid of adult content. Personally, after reading the synopsis and seeing some reviews, I was hoping for a real gore fest, especially since Ivan Zuccon is touted as the prince of new Italo-horror cinema. Had he wanted to, this easily could have been a gore fest. That's not to say those seeking content will be disappointed, only that it's not as heavily saturated or grotesque as it was made out to be.
