This MUST be bad on purpose

I know there's already posts on this topic, BUT...The editing in this is soooo bad that it has to be intentional. No one is that bad at editing, elementary school kids aren't that bad at editing. I don't buy into the ignorance of the director, the bad editing seems very intentional to me. It's like he edited it old school tape to tape, or in camera, not on any editing software. Am I wrong?

I'll cast my vote for "intentionally bad". I know even with films like Don't Go In the Woods or Nail Gun Massacre the filmmakers often realize on some level that their creation is absurd. But they also had a sincerity, moments where you knew the actors were trying but they just sucked hard! Birdemic's crappiness felt much too calculated. Still, some parts did made me chuckle. But I'll probably never watch it a second time.
