These flashbacks are so intimidating that Andrew has developed a phobia of ravens and as a result he travels to a retreat in the Scottish Highlands to come to terms with his past and his fears. However he soon discovers that this is easier said than done, as this move will bring him face to face with a supernatural force known only as the Raven Warriors. Cast
DevelopmentWhile developing the film Daly and Brewster were inspired by figures from Norse and Celtic mythology such as the Valkyries and The Morrígan.[8] Filming took place during 2014 in Fife, Edinburgh, and Perthshire, and moved into post-production in 2015.[9][10] To help with costs, Brewster opened a crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter, with the goal to raise £40,000.[11] The campaign was successful and marked the first Scottish crowdfunding campaign to raise such a large amount of money and the highest funded British horror film on Kickstarter.[10][12] Reception{{expand section|date=January 2019}}Horror film critic Kim Newman reviewed The Unkindness of Ravens, writing that it was "a demanding, complicated film which might well require repeat viewings to parse fully – but this team are doing something interesting and unusual at a budget level where it would be easier to turn out a standard slasher-in-the-woods."[13] SciFiNow also wrote a review, commenting that the film had its flaws but that there was "a lot to admire here" and praised its "impressive visuals bolstered by a fantastic lead performance".[14] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Frightfest schedule|url=http://www.frightfest.co.uk/2016films/schedule.html|publisher=Frightfest|accessdate=14 November 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Unsworth|first1=Martin|title=Get Ready for THE UNKINDNESS OF RAVENS|url=http://www.starburstmagazine.com/movie-news/13679-unkindness-or-ravens-news|publisher=Starburst Magazine|accessdate=13 November 2015}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.scifinow.co.uk/interviews/the-unkindness-of-ravens-is-an-unimaginable-battle-for-survival/|title=The Unkindness Of Ravens is “an unimaginable battle for survival”|last=Hatfull|first=Jonathan|date=August 16, 2016|website=SciFiNow|publisher=|access-date=2016-08-20}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Lawrie Brewster’s ‘The Unkindness of Ravens’ Looks Insane|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/videos/3369755/lawrie-brewsters-the-unkindness-of-ravens-looks-insane/|publisher=Bloody Disgusting|accessdate=13 November 2015}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/images/3397438/frightfest-16-unkindness-of-ravens-world-premiere-frightfest/|title=Lawrie Brewster's 'The Unkindness of Ravens' to World Premiere at FrightFest!|date=2016-07-01|publisher=Bloody Disgusting|language=en-US|access-date=2016-07-14}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3376149/10-must-see-independent-horror-films-2016/|title=10 Must-See Independent Horror Films of 2016!|last=Thurman|first=Trace|date=2016-01-20|website=Bloody Disgusting!|publisher=|language=en-US|access-date=2016-08-30}} 7. ^{{Cite web|title = Terrifying 'Raven Warriors" scare people senseless in prank video promoting new horror film|url = https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/terrifying-raven-warriors-scare-people-6917215|website = Mirror|publisher = |accessdate = 2015-12-04|last = Logan|first = Ross}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Squires|first1=John|title=Demonic Birds Strike in The Unkindness of Ravens;
