Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine Nguyen's DIY-fingerprints are on every frame. Like The Room, it's the antidote to mass culture -- a singular auteur with a dream. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2010 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Howlingly bad films are a dime a dozen, but the evident Ed Wood-like sincerity with which writer-director James Nguyen lovingly crafted this compendium of cinematic don'ts gives it a goofy, almost surrealist charm. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Jennie Punter Globe and Mail Simply foul. Rated: 0/4 Jun 11, 2010 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine It is possible that "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" is one of the worst films ever made ... and that is precisely why it will not be forgotten. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 0.5/5 Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand A shot-on-video reworking of The Birds as a screwy commentary on the dangers of global warming, Birdemic: Shock and Terror pours every stupid horror movie clich into an abstract road movie ... Jul 1, 2017 Full Review Brian Holcomb CinemaBlend Birdemic appears to be completely sincere, an attempt by Nguyen to make a serious and moving work of art. So what if it moves us to tears with laughter? Rated: 5/5 Mar 17, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
