The Birdemic meme originates from the 2010 independent horror film 'Birdemic: Shock and Terror,' directed by James Nguyen. Celebrated for its status as one of the 'worst movies ever made,' the meme typically highlights the film's hilariously bad special effects, specifically the flat, hovering CGI eagles that dive-bomb and explode. In internet culture, the template is used to mock low-budget attempts at serious drama or to represent sudden, nonsensical problems that appear out of nowhere. It captures the essence of early 2010s 'so bad it's good' cinema, making it a favorite for those who appreciate cinematic failures and absurd visual humor.
