Birdemic: Shock and Terror

Birdemic: Shock and Terror is a 2008 independent horror film written, directed, and produced by James Nguyen. The leading cast is made up of Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore. A purported homage to The Birds, Birdemic tells the story of a romance between the two main characters as their small town is attacked by birds. Birdemic was made with no studio support, largely self-financed and produced through Nguyen's Moviehead Pictures company for a budget of less than $10,000. Though Nguyen intended Birdemic to be a "romantic thriller", according to its press release, the film has gained notoriety for... its poor quality, with some critics citing it as one of the worst films ever made. After a limited theatrical release, the film gained a cult following and was picked up for distribution by Severin Films in 2010. Rod is a young software salesman living a successful life in Silicon Valley. He meets up with old classmate and aspiring fashion model Nathalie and begins dating her. Things go well for the couple, with Rod receiving a large bonus that he uses to start his own business, while Nathalie is chosen as a Victoria's Secret model.
