The streaming sci-fi thriller disaster will shock and terrorize you

Prerequisite for Birdemic: Shock and Terror is simple enough that I’ll spare you the grainy plot points beyond what’s absolutely necessary to pique your interest—while exposition and context are always important, it’s better to see this kind of cinematic spectacle for yourself.

When Rod (Alan Bagh), a star businessman from Silicon Valley, closes a million dollar deal, he decides to start his own solar panel company. With great wealth comes great responsibility, and Rod wants to use his newfound wealth to make the world a better place through his energy conservation efforts.

By chance, Rod runs into Nathalie (Whitney Moore), his high school crush who is now pursuing a modeling career. Rod and Nathalie hit it off immediately, but must put their romantic intentions on hold when mutated eagles and vultures fall from the sky and explode on impact. Although the name Birdemic: Shock and Terrorletting the viewer know what to expect, this primary source of conflict is only briefly overlooked during a quick coverage before things kick into high gear.
