Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie was the worst thing I've ever seen, that's why I'm going to buy it for my teacher who hates comic sans, and bad camera work

Returning to his small-town home, a man finds his attempted romance with a local model interrupted by a series of attacks carried out by swarms of killer birds attacking anything that moves and must not only get themselves but the other survivors of their town to safety.Frankly, this one really is that bad. About the only thing enjoyable with this one is the fact that there's a lot of bird encounters in the last half which really generates a modicum of excitement compared to the bland beginning. From the attack at the motel to the gunfight with the creatures trying to get away and the later sequences on the beach-side picnic area which has a bit of action thrown in to raise this one up slightly. With these providing the film with some decent gore effects for the aftermath of their attacks, these here are the film's positives as it does have many factors that bring it down. The main issue here is the absolutely atrocious bargain-basement level CGI that passes as acceptable in the film. The attacks are laughable in how inept they appear due to the work in here, as the birds not only look completely inorganic and nowhere close to interacting within their environment that just makes for a frustrating watch. These creatures perform the most rudimentary actions possible and seems to think that passes for horrific attacks here as they seemingly hover around the location placed on-screen in a random manner which really turns these into being silly rather than scary as this occurs for every single one of these action scenes. Likewise, the other big issue with this one is the atrocious pacing on display here which really does hamper this one considerably. There are way too many scenes of this one being dragged out with extra moments that do nothing for the film as a whole. It's not that important to witness every step of his journey into work from taking the freeway to the side-streets and walking to his desk or his date with her at the restaurant that goes on forever which really struggles to make this one become interesting at the very beginning. As well, there's also plenty of useless scenes inserted simply to add more time to the film as the boardroom meeting showing everyone individually applauding or trying to place all the useless environmental messages that are shoehorned into the film with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, and together these elements really hold back the action to the last half of the film and rarely gives this any kind of enjoyment whatsoever. The other big flaw is the lack of reasoning or rationale for anything that happens, from the start of the bird attacks to why items in their possession continually appear or reappear or why the film follows the same general storyline that makes it predictable. These here really do lower this one so significantly that it's just as awful as its reputation suggests.Rated R: Violence and Language.

I can't believe the number of deceptively low ratings on this movie. Everything about it is just about perfect. When I first watched this movie, the first thing I noticed was the absolutely beautiful CGI, so you can imagine my shock when I saw that that is one of people's biggest complaints.Also, the story is an amazingly done allegory for the Vietnam War. The plot of this story is are amazingly deep, this movie is absolutely wonderfully directed, (and I know I Already said this, but it's just that good), The CGI is absolutely beautiful.Easy 10/10, all of the people calling this a 1/10 must be trolling.

Oh boy, where do I begin?Birdemic: Shock and Terror is a horrible movie, no doubt. It honestly made "The Room" look like a plain masterpiece. This movie literally almost made me cry. I would rather watch Jake Paul foaming from the mouth in each of his "Diss Tracks" than watch this again. Birdemic certainly earned it's 1.8-Star review on IMDb. Perhaps it could be a bad actor? Maybe some lacking in the "story"? Could they have messed up on their stunning CGI? This godawful so-called "film" lacks in every single area I could think of. Here are some main problems: -Driving sequences have ZERO effort put into them. I love hearing the same 10 second clip over and over for three minutes straight. Also, the camera man seems to hold the camera with one hand, causing the entry sequence to ruin any respect it had. -Dialogue is extremely stale. While the creator attempt to spread awareness for global warming, just about everything was uninteresting and horrible. The audio was unbalanced with the surroundings to the point where i had to turn up and down the volume on several occasions. The main actor seemed extremely uninspired and mostly in it for the cash. -The disappointing CGI hurt my soul. I'm too lazy to write about it, so just imagine a tumor slowly engulfing another tumor, becoming am even larger, more cancerous tumor. That's how painful it is.Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sequel to watch.
