No this is not a top level horror movie. Not at all. However it is far better than some of the reviewers are saying. One star? I think a movie that rates one star would be like, The Bowery Boys Meet Abbott and Costello on Mars or something.
I disagree with the reviews ripping child-actor Gavin Lewis. He was about as sweet and cute of a kid as you could hope for, only now that he's been brought back from the dead, his sweet facade is only that. At first he starts to turn against his father, he exercises his powers against people in the park who aggravate him, and finally when Satan (I guess it was) gets hold of him, then we see just how evil and nasty the boy is.
I realize the special effects with the birds were only so-so but then so were they IMO in the ultimate killer birds movie, Hitchcock's The Birds.
At the end of the story when the lyoungster has suddenly grown up and attacks his father, the mom has to do the job of finishing the kid off... and after he's dead, there lays her little boy again on the floor.
It's not a great movie by any stretch but it is entirely better than many of the reviews that quibble over grammar and other irrelevant nonsense. I gave it a five, a solid five.
