Our take

This short from director Michael Spiccia is a cross between Carrie and Mad Max, offering a new and unique look at the “superpowers” trope. Set among the eerie landscapes of modern-day Australia, Yardbird is a gritty revenge tale that quickly evolves into a fantasy story with shades of horror.
