Ravenstein (2020)

Two teenagers riding their bikes at night decide to stop and explore an abandoned property which has multiple buildings. They wander around looking at things left behind.  After finding an old mattress, they meet a rough but friendly homeless guy who shares his mead with them. He also tells them a story about a gypsy, which I guess is supposed to be scary.  This is the first twenty minutes of the film.

Then we switch to two other characters, who are drunk and walking home from the pub.  One considers stealing the teens bikes, which they just left out in the open.  But his need to pee leads him onto the same abandoned property.  No one shall ask why he walked far enough into the property to get to the first building, as in the dark there were more convenient places to use as a toilet.  

His friend sits down near by and now we’ve got two more idiots hanging out on the abandoned property, where there is a bird monster with huge claws on the loose. At this point, hardly anything had happened and I drifted off into doing other things while the movie continued to run. I’m sure everyone was just fine. After all, how much damage could a man sized mutant raven with two foot claws who lives in an abandoned building do?  He’s probably a great neighbor.
