This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Clichés? You bet. A few logic holes. Yup. Worth a look? Indeed.First, anyone who claims this is a typical SyFy channel film should be avoided in public and in private. This is that 1 in 50 SyFy film that was actually well made.Second, anyone who claims the acting is amateurish must stop writing reviews. Period. The acting is top notch, especially considering that every one of these Americans is NOT American and yet I didn't hear an accent dropped once.Also, anyone who didn't notice the terrific music score should be made to take a music appreciation class. Twice.Oh, and you've got three gorgeous women to enjoy. You've got a real nasty ROC. You get to hate some truly nasty hicks (reminds me of the setting and characters in Shuttered Room).I enjoyed it. I think most people will, if they can find it.

I can understand why many may not give this movie a chance or like it because it is a syfy or may seem cheesy. But I'm not into syfy that much either but I personally loved it. It had a great mixture of thriller, curses, action, romance, and it had a unique ending. If you think about it many people are looking for a movie that isn't as predictable and this movie does it. It doesn't have a happy ending and it gives a sense of there is no way out. So it puts you on the edge of your seat wondering who will be the survivor at the end. I think the actors and actresses did a great job also making you really believe in the emotions.

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")

I liked it! You're not going to feel the jeepers creepers after expecting a lot watching the poster. But the movie does not overdo it too.Although the big bird does not not look even a quarter as scary as that in the poster, I still appreciate the movie's attempt to be a success in the horror genre. The attempt is shaky but it surely didn't fall flat.I feel it's a nice B-grade horror flick. Spooky woods, the fog, the bird picking off each victim one at a time, the half-torn bloody faces of the victims, bad neighbours, interesting last-moment twists - it has all the right parts.The performances seem believable. Each actor of the lot impresses.Only, oh if only, the bird looked as frightening as in the poster and better correlation from one scene to the other, Roadkill could have made much, much more money.Verdict: An interesting kill that trips your assumptions :)
