Line O’ the Day:
“As Birdemic begins to project on screen, it becomes immediately apparent that my review is going to be one part hate, one part rage. The opening titles contain no less than ten minutes worth of footage of someone driving around town with a camera rocking bad and forth on their dashboard. The crew titles battle each other to fit onto the screen, several even fading in to reveal that they are cut off half way through. The title for ‘casting by”’shows up and several voices boo loudly from the back, as another viewer in the front screams, ‘Where are the f–king birds?!?’ It’s a beautiful start to an enchanted night.” – Chodin, Birdemic Shock and Terror – Review [FilmDrunk]
