Oh this one is just precious! It's really the entire experience of the movie that makes it freaky, it all has a real uncanny valley type thing to it, like what you might imagine the world of one of those bizarre 90s PC horror video games that had the live action cutscenes might be like? To put it mildly it's more silly than scary, and it's a 'movie' that you have to either get on board with right away or you're best to just shut off quick! It's so hilariously lame, like a bad, cheap TV movie or even a Christian movie, one that's trying much too hard to be all serious and scary, but there's not even any gore and what little violence they're is wouldn't give anyone nightmares unless they were about three, no nudity, no swearing, and the vibe and acting is really cute how much they're genuinely trying and how sincere some of those actors were playing their parts, and some of them are so perfunctory and flat that you just know they had to have been friends or family of the crew helping out by playing bit parts! I find it an absurdly lovable movie, but it was crying out for some black comedy, it's all a bit too seriously presented. I do believe Birdemic had more involving characters to it. I find that really funny in the movie too, there's something about the flat yet earnest line delivery that just makes me want to crack up, for me it definitely nails the so-bad-it's-good thing. I rather like it for what it is though, something of a new guilty pleasure for me. The only part I really didn't like as much was how stupid the plot gets as everyone goes on a monster hunt and there's a witch with magic and everything? Also there's a ninja.. So in the closing while this is definitely a bad movie that never ever pops up and grabs you, it's also bizarrely charming and funny and very oddly enjoyable, a good-bad flick for sure!
