Here's a video of a bird that mimics various things it hears in the forest. This includes other birds and camera clicks.
Bird Mimic

Here a video clip from the movie The Mist (based on a Stephen King novel). Basically the movie is about a group of people stuck in a grocery store with a thick mist outside. There is something in the mist but no one knows what it is. The scene in the clip is after a few days of being stuck there and a mob is formed. By this time they have a better idea of what is outside. Anyway, they end up sacrificing someone in order to please "the beast". The woman who is "in charge" of the mob convinces the group that God is punishing them. There is a small group that does not buy into this; they are seen as enemies.
Just a warning but there is some blood and a little profanity. :)
The first clip is about 10 minutes long. The sacrifice is not until the end but there are moments throughout that show the mob developing.
The Mist Sacrifice Pt 1
The second clip(10 minutes too) is just to show a little bit of what happens afterwards. The first minute shows the end of the sacrifice. If you watch this one you really only need to watch the first half to see how long the "peace" lasts.
