Worst CGI ever

Post by Lord Zentei »

What the title said. The movie overall is probably one of the worst movies of all time to.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Birdemic:

Honestly, at first I thought this was a spoof or a home video of some sort. But apparently not:

The fuck? I seriously could not get past 30 seconds before I stopped watching. Who is responsible for this?

Seriously, the chick getting offed by an eagle while taking a dump was pretty cool, if in concept only.

*foams at mouth* I can't even stand to watch the interview. That may or may not have to do with sleep deprivation, of course.

When you've successfully recovered, you need to look some more at these videos (if only in small portions). For example, the battle scene at the one-minute mark of the first link is a sight to remember.

As, judging by the lighting, both are staring in terror at the side of the room where the windows obviously aren't.

Edit:

Holy shit, it's genuine! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdemic:_Shock_and_Terror

This is easily the best unintentional homage to "Manos" The Hands of Fate I've ever seen. Apparently it even got the Rifftrax treatment, thus completing the cycle of awesuck.

Slightly, ever so slightly more watchable with the help of the Rifftrax crew.

Why didn't he just make them giant explosive hummingbirds? That would have been plausible. For the hovering. And he could have them suck the sweet, sweet brain nectar out of people's heads.

Now that I've had some sleep, my reaction remains the same: the fuck? The only thing that made it bearable to watch was that girl in her underwear at about a minute in.
