I keep telling you, this isn't 'a few birds'! These are gulls, crows, swifts...!

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2009)

Classic Hitchcock that starts out as an interesting flirtation between Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedren in her first credited role. She really looked much more experience in this film that won her a Golden Globe.
The film itself got an Oscar nomination for effects.
Along with Taylor and Hedren, the film featured a fine Jessica Tandy, and Suzanne Pleshette, who was nominated for a Golden Globe the previous year for Most Promising Newcomer, even though she had been acting for six years and had almost 30 roles under her belt. Of course, she would go on to fame in "The Bob Newhart Show." And, of course, there was little Veronica Cartwright (Alien, "The X-Files"), who played the daughter.
Things got scary quickly and the special effects were amazing.
