‘Birdemic’ Sells Out Los Angeles; Don’t Miss Austin Screening on Tuesday!
The best-worst movie ever made? While my friends and myself have been passing around a scratched DVD copy of James Nguyen’s Birdemic: Shock and Terror for months now, last night our dreams came true as Bloody Disgusting hosted the red carpet premiere of the film to a sold out Los Angeles crowd (check out some quick pics and vids below, with a bigger report forthcoming). Tim & Eric hosted, birds fell from the mother effin’ ceiling and the buzz after the screening ranged from “I’m speechless” to “That WAS the best time I have ever had in a theater!” Am I over hyping it? F*ck no. Do you have to see it with a massive group of people to get the full enjoyment out of it? Yes. With an encore screening locked for here in LA on March 5th (info here), those of you in Austin, Texas will have the opportunity to be among the first to witness this “Romantic Thriller” (trademarked, LOL) with an actual audience (Tuesday, March 2, 2010 @Alamo Drafthouse). Our suspicions where dead on. Birdemic works, and it works unbelievably. Move over The Room, cause the eagles and vultures are attacking! Get all of the info and find links to tix on the Austin Facebook event page. We’d love to see yet another sold out crowd and hear back from some BD readers.

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.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
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.
