31 Day Horror Challenge Day Four: Birdemic: Shock and Terror(2010)

Birdemic, the film that makes Troll 2 look like Casa Blanca.  Forget Plan 9 from Outer Space, forget The Room, this is the best worst movie maybe ever.  It’s been growing in popularity recently and a sequel was just announced.  If you’ve seen this piece of entertaining trash, you’re probably pretty excited about this news.

Rod, a young and promising salesman, starts dating Nathalie, an aspiring model.  Just when things are starting to pick up in their relationship, birds start attacking people, what a bummer!  They drive around, picking up another couple and two kids on the way, fighting off birds with coat hangers and guns.  After randomly running into a scientist that is standing on a bridge for no reason, they discover that the birds are mad that humans have caused global warming.  There is one last fight with the birds and then they just fly away peacefully and the movie ends.

Yes, it could have been written by a third grader.  Yes, the special effects, lighting, acting, dialogue, direction and everything else are awful but these things make the film.  Check this one out.  I wouldn’t, by any means, recommend paying to see it but it’s free to stream on Netflix!

I can’t rate this movie in a traditional manner so I have figured out two ways to sum up its rating.

Entertainment Value:
8/10 stars.

Quality and everything technical:
1/10 stars.
