Theatrical Trailer for Best-Worst Movie ‘Birdemic’ a Good Representation of What’s to Come
There are good movies that are fun to watch, and then there are the bad ones that are equally as entertaining. James Nguyen’s Birdemic: Shock and Terror falls into the latter category. Before Severin was kind enough to acquire this microbudget indie, all my friends and myself would pass around a scratched DVD of the film with the orders, “You HAVE to see this.” It has the allure of the good ol’ days when we’d have that rare VHS copy of a movie that just wouldn’t ever get released. Only this time it’s 2010, and Severin is on the “inside” with all of us, and showing it by taking the film to theaters across the country. Will it catch on? Only time will tell. All that I know is that I can’t wait for this Saturday night when I celebrate my 30th birthday to Birdemic at the Silent Theater on Fairfax. There are only a few tix left, so grab ’em now and come join in on the fun hosted by Tim & Eric. Wow, way off track — the new trailer! Below you’ll find the brand new theatrical trailer that, while feels like when “South Park” goofs on an Adam Sandler movie, gives a pretty good representation of what you’re about to see. Why did the eagles and vultures attack? Find out Friday.
“Severin Films (severin-films.com/) today announced that Tim and Eric, creators and stars of Adult Swim sketch comedy show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, will host the highly-anticipated world premiere of BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR (www.birdemic.com), on February 27th at The Cinefamily in Los Angeles, California. Following the screening, Tim and Eric will lead a Q&A with writer/producer/director James Nguyen and stars Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore. Severin is working on transforming the theater into a temporary aviary with epic displays of BIRDEMIC special effects, props and costumes that will put the Smithsonian to shame. An EPK video for BIRDEMIC can be viewed at vimeo.com/9082600. Fans can connect with BIRDEMIC on Facebook (facebook.com/birdemic), Twitter (twitter.com/birdemic) and the Web (www.birdemic.com). ”
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
