The best terrible pacing of any film I've seen. It takes a hilariously long time to get anything done and I love it. The bird part is stupid without question.

I'd rather watch this than Last Year at Marienbad.

Yes, it's among the worst film I've ever seen but I think Nguyen tried a bit too hard to make it crappy, thus taking the easy way to fame and "so crappy, it's good"-heaven. Does it matter whether it was intentional or not? For me the crap-genre is based on the idea that the director believed that the movie would work in its context. Birdemic is just too forced and calculated.

    Did Nguyen ever say he intended for this film to be terrible? I really don't know, I kind of thought this film was sincere. I know it seems too bad to be accidental, but just look at The Room.

    Yes, Nguyen could of course be a version Wiseau or Ed Wood but the result is so... over-bad that I can't believe he's actually made it not knowing of its crappiness. Anyone can do bad writing, acting, editing, f-x, etc, as in Birdemic. The Room on the other hand... only a "genius".

    I firmly believe that had The Room had special effects in it, it'd probably look something like this.
