Winged Creatures (2008)

Director: Rowan Woods
Cast: Dakota Fanning, Forest Whitaker, Kate Beckinsale, Jeanne Tripplehorn

Yes, I mean an incident can take you away from your comfort zone, and that too if it’s the loss of a beloved one, or like in this case a brutal killing spree…But how it manifests on the different victims, is something which is what the film tries to explore…How much so ever the plot could have been intriguing, somewhere down the lane, the movie looses its focus. A bit vague, maybe sometimes. I felt the same kind of disconnect in Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm too. But the other ones like The Squid and the Whale and American Beauty and Little Children about dysfunctional families, never felt vague or out of context.

A great cast otherwise for a film which could have been taken to a completely different level and experience.
