Video Interview with ‘Birdemic’ Director, Arizona Screening Added!
When we first heard Severin was taking Birdemic: Shock and Terror on the road, we weren’t sure if was going to work with the audiences. On a small scale, my group of friends and I have been watching it religiously. We begged Severin to let us sponsor the tour and we’re hoping to share the magic with Bloody Disgusting readers. It’s no secret that the movie is bad, but holy crap is it one hell of a good time. With the red carpet unrolling this past weekend to a sold out screaming crowd (watch videos), and last night’s successful Austin screenings, March 5 and 6th Arizona readers will be able to find out why the eagles and vultures are attacking (although, does it really matter?). Click here for ticketing info for the March 5 & 6th screenings at the MADCAP Theaters in Tempe, AZ. There is also an encore screening March 5th here in Los Angeles. But that’s not all, below you’ll find the first part of our exclusive one-on-one chat with director James Nguyen who talks about the surprise success of Birdemic. Watch for more coverage soon and watch the official fan page for updates on (or to request) a theater near you.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
