The key to 2010’s “Birdemic: Shock and Terror” was its sincerity. It was
a genuinely awful feature from an enormously incompetent filmmaker, a
man who thought he could match his idol Alfred Hitchcock in the suspense
department, only to make a mind-numbingly tedious, technically
disastrous picture about global warming, attacking birds, and young
people dealing with vaguely defined vocational triumphs. Of course, it
was hilarious to watch, leaning into every last creative pothole
writer/director James Nguyen created, studying a movie that had
absolutely no ambition beyond being a movie, and it often failed at
that. Molded into a midnight movie phenomenon, sold on its badness,
“Birdemic: Shock and Terror” transformed into something of a hit. And
with any unexpected cinematic success comes a sequel, whether we want
one or not.
