Summary: A platoon of eagle and vultures attack the residence of a small town. Many people died. It's not known what caused the flying menace to attack. Two people managed to fight back, but will they survive Birdemic? "The Birds" star Tippi Hedren is in all three of his films, but she only shot footage for the first one. He reuses the footage he shot with her in LA in his other two movies and puts her name right up on the poster. (imdb, mediayenta.blogspot.com)

I refuse to believe a boom mic was used during ANY of the filming of this movie, yet the credits contained multiple boom mic operators. Stay far away from this pandemic, unless you've got a large quantity of alcohol and some friends who are gluttons for punishment.

"My First Movie" by James Nguyen, age 5. Hi my name is James Ngyuen and I am 5 years old. I made this movie it's about birds. And the birds explodes. Bam! Kapow! Whoosh! I'm a moviehead! Which means I like movies! I like making movies more! This movie called Birdemic: Shock and Terror is about a guy named Rod and this girl named Natalie and these birds explode. Bam! Kapow! Whoosh! I hope you watch my movie! It's birdtastic!

Quite literally the worst film I've ever seen. 38 minutes into the film, no birds had attacked or exploded. Hilariously terrible and inept at everything.

I made up a drinking game for this movie. For every five minutes you go without seeing a bird, take a shot. Congratulations! You're dead!

This is, quite simply, possibly the worst film I've seen in my entire life. Nguyen apparently tried to make a horror movie that would fuse his two favourite movies - Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. With no budget. And even less talent. I'm honestly not sure what's worse: the "acting", the script, the special effects, or the completely insane plot that's 45 minutes of awful romcom that suddenly does a 90-degree turn into awful horror movie.

The birds are the best comedians ever. I crack up every. time. I see them. It's too bad they didn't make their appearance until later in the film. All in all, it's a great satire of America tainted with a we've-seen-it-all-before romance.

It's hard to argue for this film as anything other than a complete waste of space, money and time. It's not "so bad it's good", it's so bad it goes back around the other time and becomes unendurable. I hope to never see another movie quite as bad as this one.

Astoundingly, mind-bogglingly, aggressively terrible. A great movie to watch with friends and laugh at, but its utter lack of any discernible quality will upset you.

Have you *seen* the 'special effects' involving the birds? Talk about pathetic. Anyway, this movie, when originally made, was called 'The Birds' by Alfred Hitchcock. ... And I didn't even like that version, so you can imagine with tripe I think this is. AWFUL acting, high school student films are better. The first half of the story can't even count for exposition, and the 'birds' don't attack until the second half. Is this the worst film I've ever seen? ... Thus far yes.

I say this a lot about a bad movie, but this movie REALLY is the worst movie ever made. I should change all my 0-scored movies, cause they all are masterpieces compared to this rubbish. Thank god it's hilariously bad, otherwise I think I would've died. I love the kamikaze-plane-birds though and their little explosions

This is it. This really is The Worst Movie. Makes other horrible things seem a little better in comparison. Stuff like genocide, self-mutilation, impotence and mothers-in-law are all a-ok in my book since they're not BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND GODDAMN TERROR.

Has the worst sound editing I've ever heard, some of the worst acting ever committed to film, and the special effects are an abortion. Funny once but after you see the birds superglued over the film stock it becomes sad. I know it may sound awesome but trust me, this is a gigantic piece of shit. Also the plot doesn't make any sense and what Victoria's Secret model dates a tech salesman? Probably the biggest waste of 10 grand ever.

You couldn't watch this more than once, unlike some other infamous bad films. Like The Birds it transitions from rom-com to horror film, but really suddenly and pathetically. It's painful to actually watch and listen to. Bits of it are absolutely hilarious though, like Nguyen's over-the-top environmental message, the ending, the man who lives in the forest, "Wow, what a great movie! An Inconvenient Truth!", and, of course, the bird (and fire!) animations.

It's incredible how inept this film is. Even the sound editing is terrible. There was a visible boom mike. Character behavior is nonsensical. The stupid birds don't appear for the first half of the film. The writer first tortures us with a dull as dishwater love story and a main character who works in tech sales even though he obviously knows absolutely nothing about the tech industry, or human behavior for that matter. Congratulations, filmmakers, it's the worst POS I ever sat through.

At one time I thought Manos: The Hands of Fate was the worst movie of all time. Now I know another film shares that title. Truly this shares many of the same flaws. An idiotic script, atrocious local actors, terrible production values (especially sound editing), the special effects are absolutely horrendous and shit that doesn't even make sense. This film is pretty much a text-book example of how to not make a film.

Yet another thing to blame on Global Warming; this movie. I'll sum up the movie's logic with this: birds explode whenever they nose dive an object like a Molotov cocktail. You now know what you're getting into. Whitney Moore is pretty hot though and pulled off her action scenes better than the others. [Rifftrax makes good on this one; even managing to handle the awkward opening half hour where nothing but parking happens. Still I almost felt they were like, "why bother" with half the stuff.]

I feel obligated to rank it at zero based solely on the technical ineptitude and the fact that it somehow manages to do every single thing wrong. Seriously, there's nothing here to praise or say, "Well, at least this one aspect is halfway competent." That being said, if I was ranking my viewing experience, it would be in the upper eighties. Watch this with friends, it is hilarious.

Displays the earnestness and ineptitude of a Manos: The Hands Of Fate or The Room but after an enchanting first hour or so it has worn out its welcome and is just circling the drain. Still recommended.

There are some films that are bad. There are other films that are so bad they a lot of people find them enjoyable. Then there are films that are so bad that they are irredeemable. This film falls into the 3rd category but I liked it anyway. I suppose in the same way that people just clicked with The Room and I loathed it so have I clicked with this. It's so hopelessly inept that I have developed a sort of fondness from the exploding birds to the most incompetent sound I have ever heard

An excercise in total control by writer/director/producer James Nguyen, with many of the same faults as another familiar low-budget clown, Hal Warren. Birdemic, with it's horrid acting, shockingly poor script and film quality, and it's nearly non-stop promotion of eco-friendly ideologies, achieves the dubious honor of being one of the worst films ever made.
