Overview

Mockingbird is a 2014 American found footage horror film written and directed by Bryan Bertino, from a story by Bertino and Sam Esmail. The film was released to video on demand on October 7, 2014 and was given a DVD and Blu-ray release on October 21 of the same year. It stars Todd Stashwick, Alexandra Lydon, and Barak Hardley as three people that have been given video cameras with the instructions to film their daily activities for a strange contest. Plot The film follows three groups of people, all of whom have found a video camera on their doorstep and begin filming under the impression that this is the key to winning money from a mysterious competition. Tom (Todd Stashwick) is an average guy filming the life of his family with his wife Emmy. Beth (Alexandra Lydon) is a bored and isolated college girl who sees the camera as something to fill her free time. Leonard (Barak Hardley) is a mother's boy who believes his clown makeup will steal the scene. Each group has been given a label - "The Family" (Tom & Emmy), "The Woman" (Beth), and "The Clown" (Leonard), but they are largely unaware of what is truly going on and are shocked when they receive instructions telling them to keep filming or die. Cast Audrey Marie Anderson as Emmy Natalie Alyn Lind as Jacob's Friend #4 Benjamin Stockham as Jacob's Friend #2 Emily Alyn Lind as Abby Alyvia Alyn Lind as Megan Todd Stashwick as Tom Lee Garlington as Mom Spencer List as Jacob Henry Isabella Murad as Jacob's Friend #3 Alexandra Lydon as Beth Barak Hardley as Leonard

Notable quotes

“The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again.”
— Charles William Beebe, The Bird: Its Form and Function (1906).
“Better one byrde in hand than ten in the wood.”
— John Heywood, Proverbs (1546), pt. 1, ch. 11
“I was always a lover of soft-winged things.”
— Victor Hugo, I Was Always a Lover.
“The francolin's voice is the glory of the fields.”
— Sumerian proverb, Collection II at , .
““What is that?” I gasped, nearly blinded by the unexpected vermillion patches on the blackbird’s epaulets. I watched as the bird threw back its head, opened wide its beak and let out a sound so primal it left me marvelling: this was as close as I’d ever stand to dinosaurs. If this bird had been here all along, I thought, what else had I been missing?”
— Julia Zarankin, Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder (2020), , p. 23
“From nesting, brooding and sex, to metabolism, development and even the diseases that afflicted them, many of the traits found in birds today were inherited from the dinosaurs. The boundary between dinosaurs and birds has become utterly blurred.”
— John Pickrell (2014), Flying Dinosaurs: How Fearsome Reptiles Became Birds, Columbia University Press, p. xvii
