In Production: RV + Giant Bird = Roadkill

There have been a few films with the title "Roadkill" over the years, but I'll bet that none of them features a monstrous predatory bird called a Simuroc.... before now, that is.

Currently in production from RHI Entertainment, Roadkill, directed by Johannes Roberts, features the inevitable bunch of young people on a road trip in a RV. When they accidentally run down an old Gypsy woman, the resulting curse laid upon them manifests as a giant bird that proceeds to pick them off, one by one. Set in Ireland, there should be some nice scenery along the way.

Official Synopsis:
Kate and her brother Joel have gathered their five best friends for a scenic RV road trip to their high-school reunion. But their cross-country adventure is about to take an unexpected turn for the worst when an ancient curse takes wing by way of a massive creature. It’s called the Simuroc, and this gigantic bird of prey has found the perfect, helpless quarry in Kate and company. Stranded in the backwoods of the predator’s territory, there’s little chance for escape. (RHI website)

Is this movie new? I tried to look for it but I couldn't find it. I watched it on SYFY on Saturday but the big storm cut half of it out. Now I am desprate to finish the rest of it. It was really entertaining. And I would really like to finish it. I would also like to own the movie so if you could tell me if it is new or not and where I could find it. That would be great.
Thank you,
Emily

It sucked. Here's the gist. Fedora is the last one standing. Fedora gets in camper and starts running out of gas. Fedora rolls up right back in the place where they accidentally ran over one eyed gypsy hag. The dude that looks like Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, is all ha! You're Effed and junk. Fedora is surprised by Riff Raff and drops gas pump. It continues pumping on ground. Poorly computer generated unrealistic naked bird shows up. Fedora runs into the camper. Crappy bird shows up and smashes it's head into the windshield getting stuck. Fedora grabs Zippo lighter. Jumps out and stands in front of Riff Raff and tosses the Zippo onto leaking gasoline. Riff Raff says "oh dear" camper blows up tossing Fedora onto the ground. He rolls over thinking crappy bird is dead. Fedora sees crappy bird unscathed in the air diving to get him. Fedora says "Oh Crap" and screen goes black. The end. It was the dumbest movie ever. No wonder I never heard of it.
