Plot

A shunned farmer attempts to warn his neighbors of an impending besiegement by crazed ravens,[1] A small town sheriff and the trapped citizens of the town must band together to survive.

After one of the farmer's cows catches mad cow disease, it dies. Soon another cow catches it and dies as well. Instead of telling the authorities about it, the farmer chooses to keep quiet thinking he could handle the situation and for fear of the authorities killing his cattle. Ravens feed on the infected cow carcasses, and the disease begins to affect the birds as well. The farmer tries to burn the corpses in hopes to drive the birds away. However, it only makes them angrier until they decided to attack the townspeople. The people fight over the birds in the movie.[3]

Reception

Film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes does not have enough reviews of Kaw for a "Tomatometer" rating, but out of four reviews of the film, three are negative, with one noting "...it lacks true tension and certainly can't keep up with the shock value of its gore-filled horror contemporaries."[4]
