Blu-ray Review – Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle

When "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" was released in 2010, viewers laughed. It was a particularly inept filmmaking endeavor from writer/director James Nguyen, who seemed to have no idea how awful a movie he was making, marching forward with a tale of a bird attack in Half Moon Bay, California, utilizing some of the worst helming instincts imaginable. Cult film fans ate it up, and Nguyen returned to the scene of the crime with 2013's "Birdemic: The Resurrection," where he achieved some level of self-awareness, trying to recapture the vibe of the first installment while leaning into expanding ridiculousness with a larger budget and fan support. Viewers didn't laugh. Ten years later, Nguyen returns to quite possibly his only source of income with "Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle," which basically rehashes "Shock and Terror," only this time around, the helmer is absolutely determined to establish the climate change message of the series, asking viewers to sit through an hour(!) of exposition, speeches, stillness, and Hitchcock appreciation before the birds return to attack humans. Viewers won't laugh. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
