The Vulture (1966) (UK/Canada/USA)

aka Manutara

⭐️⭐️


Super silly and unfortunately super talkative bit of nonsense. An ancestral grudge spells doom for a small family in the seaside village of Cromwell. A schoolteacher witnesses some giant bird with a human head emerge out of a grave and her hair goes white from shock. Rightfully so, everyone thinks she’s a nut but when an American nuclear scientist comes to visit his fiancée, he begins to believe atomic energy may just be the culprit behind the man/bird mutation. The cops think he’s an idiot and stand back while his future wife’s family is dragged skyward and murdered by some large flying beast. The last act reveal of the birdman makes you realize why they decided to keep it off camera (it honestly looks like some dumbass in a bird suit... which I guess it is) but that’s still no excuse for how much damn talking goes on. Mad scientists can be so damn lazy nowadays. Used to be ya had a bone to pick, you’d hit the lab, transform yourself into some stupid-looking bird monster and deliver that mortal kick to the balls to the bloodline that wronged your ancestors. Oh well. I wish this flick was better.
