Dead Birds Movie Review 2004

In 1863 Alabama, a group of Confederate soldiers, led by William (Thomas), rob a bank of its gold bullion--leaving a lot of dead bodies behind--and plan to head to Mexico. But first, they spend the night in an abandoned plantation house that apparently isn't so abandoned. They hear noises, see strange creatures, and start to get very spooked indeed.
