\"\"<\/a>With \u201cKiller Kites,\u201d you\u2019re facing a movie that\u2019s genuinely critic proof, and has a clear idea about what it is from the first moment it starts. It\u2019s only an hour in length and spends a lot of its time trying to turn kites in to mythological monsters. So, you either go in knowing what to expect, or you turn around look for another means of entertainment. I have to admit that Alan Dale and Austin Frosch\u2019s horror comedy won me over from the opening credits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Abby’s grandma dies, the only thing she inherits a stupid kite – after giving it to her brother; he is mysteriously killed and the kite disappears. While searching for the truth, she is tangled in a strange supernatural plot, where this killer kite continues to kill! Now, Abby must string together a way to stop the kite before it blows us all away. Kites may not be the scariest monster ever, but they\u2019re up there.<\/p>\n

In a clear stroke of creativity, not only does the kite become a monster in Dale and Frosch\u2019s movie, but it\u2019s been here all along. It\u2019s been causing havoc, setting off wars, and hell, it might have even helped assassinate JFK. You had to be there. In either case, \u201cKiller Kites\u201d doesn\u2019t have too much time for filler or flab in its narrative, rushing in to the horror of the killer kites, and setting off the narrative from the starting gate. The pair of directors do what they can with their limited resources, offering some fun moments of exposition and some scenes that felt improvised. I especially loved the scene with Abby being helped by a mysterious man named the Oracle who is inexplicably hell bent on getting breakfast.<\/p>\n

As he disseminates crucial information to her and the audience, the Oracle does nothing but stuff his mouth with food. It\u2019s a hilarious scene like that that left me wondering what their mind set was the whole time while filming. \u201cKiller Kites\u201d feels created by necessity, and that allows \u201cKiller Kites\u201d to feel sincere in its efforts to deliver as great a horror comedy as possible. There\u2019s good gore, some fun kite stalking scenes, plus Manon Page plays her role delightfully deadpan, complimenting the film\u2019s sheer lunacy. You either love \u201cKiller Kites\u201d for reveling in its idiocy, or you hate it just for that fact. How many movies about homicidal kites can you admit to seeing?<\/p>\n
