In 2008, director James Nguyen, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock and the documentary An Inconvenient Truth, set out to make a film that would shock and terrify audiences pitting humanity against the natural world seeking vengeance. Two problems: his passion greatly outmatched his skill as a filmmaker, not to mention his shoestring budget. The finished product would be a cult comedy classic that can only be called Birdemic: Shock and Terror.
