Its with great anticipation that i waited to received this short by the mail. I've had heard lots of positive things about it on my message board plus this also marked the "return" of the gorgeous Felissa Rose better known as Angela from SLEEPAWAY CAMP. I had to see it.

Mary (played by Danielle) is convinced that her husband Henry is trying to kill her! For the last few days he changed a lot and became aggressive, shouting her obscenities and menacing her. Mary found recomfort in the hands of Carl, the husband of her friend Dolores (played by Felissa) who happens to be out on vacation. After Henry leaves for god knows where, Mary call Carl and ask him to come by, which he agree to do. A few minutes later the door bell rings but its not Carl but his wife Dolores. It looks like she decided to come back sooner. Dolores can see that things arent looking great for Mary but Mary don't wanna say anything.

She finally does tell Dolores who's seem kinda surprise that her husband is part of this whole story. Enters Henry who decided to come back and cook a meal for Mary and Dolores. Carl hasn't made it yet,"where is he" ask Mary. But Dolores assure her that he will be there.

Dinner is ready... time to eat.

Terrence Smith delivers one good little horrific thriller. You can see the restrain of the budget but they he did a great job, the final product is pretty good. I just think that it would work much better as a full feature film. I don't wanna spoil you the end 'cause it will really ruin everything for you. Jason Blasso did a nice job at written this but the moment i saw Dolores entering the house i knew the ending twist. Surely the best part about BIRDS OF A FEATHER is the great soundtrack, very remiscent of PSYCHO, it really gets under your skin.
