Birdemic - the worst movie ever made?

[broox]

Maybe we should shoot a movie and put it on netflix. Apparently ANYBODY CAN. Take, for instance, Birdemic. The worst (and I truly mean that) movie ever made. I defy you to find a worse shot, acted, edited, or written movie. We couldn't finish it, it was just too bad, and my taste in movies is notoriously low. Here's the synopsis:

When sexy model Nathalie (Whitney Moore) and software guru Rod (Alan Bagh) head to a motel for an afternoon tryst, they are attacked by a flock of savage exploding eagles and other birds of prey in the first wave of an all-out avian war against humanity.

here's the trailer (which ironically is much more skillfully put together than the movie)

I agree with this first review on the netflix:

"Wow. This really is a movie that hops the fence of preconceived notions and charges headfirst into undiscovered territory. Wow. I want to meet the man who made this movie. I want to talk to him. I want to know the personality who looked at this thing and thought to himself, job well done. And not to rag on him or anything like that. I just have to imagine hed have a unique outlook on life. Anyway, Birdemic is just the most insane thing you will ever see. Patton Oswalt is quoted as saying that, its as if all the people in this movie just walked off the set of Twin Peaks. And Im inclined to agree. Theres a level of surreality to the performances that transcend the notion of mere wooden acting. Its like the director told them, Okay, I dont want you to act like a human being. I want you to act like an actor whos playing an actor whos acting like what he thinks actors act like when theyre acting like theyre actors acting like theyre acting. Anyway, this movie is 100% true-blue earnest intention -- not a hint of irony to be found. Nobody in this movie ever thought to themselves, you know, seen in a different light, it kinda looks like Im making fun of myself... There are touches of pure cinematic incompetence that COULD NOT be faked -- like the scene where Our Hero stops to get gas and then drives home uneventfully. Keep in mind, this scene takes like a whole 5 minutes of screen time! Anyway. My point is this. Watch Birdemic. It does things that no movie should do. It makes the impossible possible. You will never be the same again"

Did you say Exploding Eagles?

I haven't seen it yet, but I own two movies that will give it a run for it's money.

The first one is "They Don't Cut the Grass Anymore". It is about two "country boys" (in their bib overalls, straw hats, and football eye make-up) going around and taking out women and peeling their faces off. Yeah, that's right, peeling their faces. Once the victims are "dead", they cut shot to a blow-up doll that they beat. The face peeling scenes last about 10 minutes each and are very low budget gore effects. I'm not sure there is much of a plot other than this.

The second one is "Back Woods". This is better with respect to plot, but the story still is crap. One of the more memorable moments is the characters go to a gas station to ask directions. The thing is, in reality, it is one of those park picnic areas with some plywood that has "Gas Station" spray painted on it. The story is about a woman raped by an evil woodland spirit and she gives birth to Mangina (pronounced like vagina). Mangina goes about killing folks who enter his woods. Not good.

Anyway, I'll check out Birdemic and let you know what I think. I'm sure it sucks.
