Of course there are movies around that have a so bad it's good factor to them. There is the odd moment that is unintentionally funny about Birdemic: Shock and Terror, but much of it insults you in how incompetently done it all is. The worst movie ever? Might need to think on that one, but if not the worst ever it is easily down there as one of them. Whitney Moore is beautiful and cute, however that's all that halfway decent about Birdemic. It is a very cheaply made film, the constantly choppy editing and cheap shots make it very difficult to like or appreciate the scenery, and the special effects are some of the absolute worst of any movie of recent years. The dialogue is not just awkward sounding but also rambling and heavy-handed, while the story is let down by a very thin structure and interminably dull pacing(in particular the first half-hour is enough to bore the socks off of anybody). The birds feature later on, but they are lacking completely in presence or personality and their attacks are predictable, suspense-less and somewhat too silly also. The characters are completely unengaging, at no point is any effort made to make the audience care for any of them. And the acting is just terrible, Alan Bragh has no charisma whatsoever and looks very ill at ease, while Whitney Moore's beauty isn't enough to make up for her complete lack of acting talent. All in all, may have the so bad it's good factor for some, others will find it too shockingly terrible to enjoy it and the latter camp is where I fall in. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Shockingly terrible
really really bad
Rod runs into former classmate model Nathalie. Global warming and blah blah. Birds attack.
Horrible acting. Horrible writing. Badly stilted dialogue. Ill-fitting music. Horrible directions. Long boring non-scenes. Bad special effects. It's hilarious for about two minutes as it smacks your face all at once. Then it's intermittently funny as new levels of awfulness occurs. This is an incredibly bad movie. It's a student film at best. The bad sound design gets annoying. The squawking mixed with planes on bombing runs is as terrible as it gets. I'm comfortable giving this movie one star. The laughs are not generated deliberately. I'm laughing at how bad this is. I do want to give this a pity point. I can't. I can't. One point for the effort. These people tried. They're not good but they tried.
Can this even be considered a movie?!
It's hard to imagine that "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" isn't at the top of IMDb's infamous Bottom 100 List. After all, it's about the most amateurish and stupid film I've ever seen. Most kids posting homemade videos on YouTube make more professional looking stuff than this terrible mess. Imagine the joy in watching "Birdemic" as you see folks act who have LESS talent than middle school students in a school play! Imagine the use of a home movie camera whose sound is only activated when the 'actors' talk--and cuts on and off loudly and abruptly as they talk! Much of it is like a silent movie!! Imagine weirdly askew camera angles, scenes where lines are flubbed and a glacial pace. Yup, all that awaits you if you bother to watch this film! Oh, and lest I forget...there really is NO PLOT through much of the movie!! Yes, despite supposedly being about killer birds, nothing really happens during almost all the film! It's more like they turned on the camera and simply put EVERYTHING in the movie--even when it was completely irrelevant and you could care less about the characters!! So eventually it's saved when the birds FINALLY attack, right?! WRONG!!! The 'birds' are even more lame than stuffed birds on sticks or guys making shadow puppets of birds! You really have to see and hear them to believe 'em! When I say this is a horrible film, I mean that it is monumentally horrible. I am talking WORSE than "Plan 9", "Rat Fink a Boo Boo" and, believe it or not, worse than "The Room"!! Now that's bad!! Now considering that I am a fan of bad films and have reviewed well over 12,000 movies, when I say that this is the WORST film I have ever seen (yes, even worse than "Manos: The Hands of Fate") it means something!! Abysmal in every way...so bad you wonder if it was all some joke and never was intended as anything more! To quote Colonel Kurtz, "The horror...."!
