The Birds

A true classic, worthy of 5 stars. The scene where the gas starts flowing across the street builds up to a creepiness unknown in most horror films today. The cast is excellent and the story flows nicely.

The Birds

After Psycho, Hitch's attempt at the nature hooror film, and definitely the best of that type. I love the editing and camera work. The special effects are dated, but it is a very creepy movie. It creeps up on you - very good pacing. Never was much of a fan of Tippi Hedren, but the scene at the gas station where the man bursts on fire and the end when the birds have taken over the town really...

The Birds

Teppi Hedren is an insufferable airhead. Jessica Tandy looks, well, Overly paranoid. Also stars a very young Veronica Cartwright, who gets some of the best lines in this offbeat movie. Great visuals and sound design, with no "score" to speak of, although a children's song and timely editing is used to great effect. Not Overly scary, slow at first, but very fun to watch from the point...

Anytime I see a black bird of any type sitting on a fence or an electrical line, I run !

The Birds

One of Hitchcock's finest films that has all the flair that he was known for. The playgroud seen is just to spooky. The birds out of the chimney scare you half to death, and the whole bit with the eyes eaten out of the farmer is almost revolting. See it for the classical quality and for the horror.

The Birds

Some joker suggests Wesley Snipes was in this movie. Duh? Actually, this is classic Hitchcock, although, the last scene was edited out which explains why the birds acted the way they did. You have to read the book to get the answer, but it is a good read also. Tippi Hedren is hot, just my type! Rod Taylor, a very good actor (Hotel), does his thing well also. The suspense builds and the playground...

Had this film been shot in black and white, it would have been a lot more suspense-inducing. But, as it is, it's still a great film. Not one of Hitch's best but good enough for all its praise.

The Birds

The Birds is an extremly chilling and scary movie that stars supermodel of the 60's, Tippi Hedren. The film is pretty bloody for it's time, and it is pretty graphic, but I would want my kids to see it, because I want them to get used to watching these good movies.

The Birds

Hitchcock at his best. Considering it was produced in the 60's, the SFX are fantastic. The plot is his usual suspense and making you wait to see what happens.It really does ask a question - what would we do if different species turned on us???Oh yes, since when was Wesley Snipes in Hitchcock films done in the 60's?????

The Birds

See if you can figure out why the birds kill people. If you can't, the story is my Daphne du Maurier, and Hitchcock edited out the final scene in the film (which explained).
