What better way to celebrate Easter than with a tale of love, guns and exploding vultures? In April Crap Film Club screens the most inept Hitchcock tribute in history...yep, even worse than that remake of "Psycho"...it's "Birdemic: Shock & Terror".

Despite having no formal experience in filmmaking, Hitchcock-obsessive James Nguyen pays homage to his hero with a movie inspired by The Birds but with an ecological twist.

Made with no studio support, largely self-financed and produced on a budget of less than $10,000, the film has gained notoriety for its wooden acting and dialogue, amateurish sound and editing, nonsensical plot and, in particular, its special effects, consisting entirely of poorly rendered CGI eagles and vultures that, in addition to performing physically awkward aerial maneuvers, spit acid and explode.

Chuck on your chicken costume and join Crap Film Club at The Book Club for a special Easter screening of the film that "makes THE ROOM look like a masterpiece" (Screened.com), along with our now legendary trailers, snacks and prizes. You'd be a right (blue) tit to miss out so swallow your pride and put the ticket on your Egg card. It's going to be one fowl evening!

"truly, one of the worst films ever made" - Huffington Post

"crude special effects that reduce audiences to tears of laughter rather than terror" - Guardian

"The performances are soggier than a pool hall urinal cake" - Bloody Good Horror

Crap Film Club, or CFC, is a place to celebrate and commiserate with the movies that went straight to DVD. It’s where we accept poor scripts, poor acting, poor camera work and provide a platform of non-judgement. In fact, the less critically acclaimed the film, the better. Together, we watch the ridiculous, we enjoy the non-believable, we congratulate the absurd. In association with The Book Club, Crap Film Club is proud to present a bi-monthly night of cinematic failure. There will be bad dubbing, samurai cops, toe-curling dialogue, CGI sharks, embarrassing sex, inept ninjas, continuity errors, and even the occasional tribute to Jason Statham or Nicolas Cage along with quizzes, prizes, themed cocktails and double-bills.
