Let me make sure I've got this straight.

Warning: Spoilers
An old guy wanders the desert, sees a little girl in a cape, then goes into a greenhouse where a bunch of little bald kids are being indoctrinated by this weird hippie cult leader.

Next, the little girl gets a loaded gun for her birthday and accidentally shoots her mom, who seems really chill about being paralyzed from the waist down. Then, Shelly Winters comes to babysit the mom, the little girl goes ice skating, a bird attacks and kills a police detective, and the weird old guy comes to "babysit" the little girl. Next, for God knows what reason, there's something about a basketball team, which the little girl's dad, who happens to be evil, is coaching.

The little girl tries to kill her mom with a bird, but mom's babysitter kills the bird instead. So the girl pushes the wheelchair-bound mom into a giant aquarium with no fish in it, but mom is still somehow alive. So the little girl tries to kill her again, while the evil dad watches.

Meanwhile, the old weird guy is watching some bizarre laser light show going on at the skating plaza, then the Bird Apocalypse happens, and the film is over.

Is that how it plays out, or did I get a contact high from my pot-smoking neighbors?
