If you have ever been to a karaoke bar recently, you may have seen the backdrop videos that are shown behind the lyrics: generic fluff completely unrelated to the music, barely more interesting than the single-colour backdrops of old. The first part of Birdemic feels exactly like those videos, only stretched out over a tortuously long time and with actual dialogue instead of lyrics hopping around. The second part only differs through the addition of about four different animated GIFs of birds superimposed on the screen.
Although I could not manage to watch the thing in its entirety for fear of getting an aneurysm, from what I have seen and read in other reviews it must either be intended as ecological propaganda, or it is made intentionally bad to ridicule ecologists. It works in neither way because it is simply too awful to watch. The only "Shock" is how this film managed to get as far as it did, and the only "Terror" is the sheer awfulness of its production.
