Birdemic: Shock and Terror

Birdemic: Shock and Terror is a 2010 independent romantic horror film written and directed by James Nguyen, widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made. The story follows a software salesman and a model falling in love while their coastal town is suddenly besieged by inexplicably exploding, acid-spitting eagles and vultures. Despite its notoriously poor production quality, wooden acting, and laughable special effects, the film developed a devoted cult following celebrated for its so-bad-its-good charm.

• Director James Nguyen called it an 'romantic thriller' despite minimal romance.
• Birds were added via extremely cheap CGI animation effects.
• Film took nearly four years to complete production.
• Nguyen promoted it by driving a bird-covered van around Sundance.
• Budget was approximately $10,000, shot on consumer-grade cameras.

• Why are the birds attacking?
• We need to find some food and water.
• Enjoy the best of life.
• That's a green job for ya.
• They came... they flocked... they attacked.
