Birdemic: Shock and Terror
Body
It is a tender love story. A graphic horror shocker. An urgent ecological warning. And around the world, it became the must-see 'midnight movie' sensation of the year.
The most discussed and analyzed avian disaster film since The Birds, Birdemic is a tender love story, a graphic horror shocker, and an urgent ecological warning. Over five years, James Nguyen—the self-proclaimed “Master of the Romantic Thriller™"—crafted the story of a model (Whitney Moore) and software salesman (Alan Bagh) who take a weekend getaway in a quaint California town. But when the city is attacked by homicidal CGI birds, the picturesque paradise becomes a winged hell on earth. Can mankind survive the onslaught? A testament to Nguyen’s enduring vision, Birdemic is an otherworldly midnight movie sensation.
