Liked THE ROOM? You'll love BIRDEMIC.



Tuesday, 7pm, RITZ

When we heard that Patton Oswalt was showing all his friends an inexpensive "romantic thriller" inspired by THE BIRDS and featuring Nintendo-level digital effects we were intrigued. When our friends saw it and called it the next THE ROOM, we knew we had to see it. When comedians Tim and Eric jumped on the bandwagon that bandwagon started looking even funnier - so we got on it too. And now we're looking at you. Have you ridden on a BANDWAGON recently? It's a pretty smooth ride.

Here's how writer/producer/director James Nguyen describes BIRDEMIC:

"A platoon of eagles & vultures attack the residence of a small town. Many people died. It's not known what caused the flying menace to attack. Two people managed to fight back, but will they survive BIRDEMIC?"

Perhaps the most discussed and anticipated avian-based disaster film since the THE BIRDS, BIRDEMIC is equal parts both epochal tale and cinematic warning shot. It tells the story of a couple unexpectedly and unforgettably caught in the eye of a feather-based storm…an apocalyptic attack winging down from the skies in a twisted morass of feathers, talons and blood-soaked claws.

No less than five years in the making, BIRDEMIC stands as a testament to James Nguyen’s dark, enduring vision.

Following the screening, we will have a Q&A with director Nguyen. In keeping with Birdemic’s immersive appeal, we will feature a display of props and costumes from the movie.
