By no doubt, the worst movie ever made. But also something everybody should watch!

Most people usually say that if you put time and effort into something, the result will always be good. James Nguyen spent a total of four years making Birdemic, and he proved the opposite. This movie, is one of the worst movies ever made, if not the worst. But I think people should watch this. I especially think that this is something that should be shown at different film schools, instead of movies like Citizen Kane. You learn by your mistakes right? Well, then you learn by watching a bad movie and not masterpieces.

Birdemic is about a small Californian town which gets attacked by deadly birds one day. These birds don't appear until 45 minutes into the film, so there's also a lot more to this film. The most notable thing is that the movie follows the main character's full day, and I'm not kidding. You get to see him driving, working and eating. And these sequences are long, and also pointless.

Already after the introduction, you start noticing how poorly made this film is. The sound quality is very bad, and the track often goes to very quiet to very loud. The video quality isn't very good either, but since I'm a indie movie maker myself I don't have any problems with that. But the script, directing and most of all acting is so poor.

Alan Bagh who plays the main character in Birdemic, is the worst actor I've ever seen in a movie. He just looks so bored and uninspired in all of his scenes. The supporting actors are still a bit better, but that doesn't save the movie. It is when the birds arrives that you really start noticing how poorly made this film is.

The birds looks awful. They look so fake and they're all the same. The birds literally just attack the humans by basically flying in front of them. These special effects are also what makes the movie so funny and bad. The scenes are so far away from horror as possible. And the birds make a sound that gives you an headache within a second.

The movie continues to be a bad film throughout. Everything about this movie is so bad. But as I said, I think everyone should still watch this. It is the best worst movie ever, but someone actually spent time doing this. And I appreciate it more than modern art.
