It Flies to Insanity.

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2002)

Wild and riveting film from Hitchcock that has the titled animals turning into villanous monsters that attack all around the small area of Bodega Bay. Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor are the two primary characters caught up in the increasingly dangerous situation. Jessica Tandy steals every scene as Taylor's mother here. Hitchcock once again proves that smart direction can save a sub-par screenplay as "The Birds" is not the smartest film ever made, but it is a movie that does just enough to entertain and make its audience think. Those are sure-signs of a good film. 4 stars out of 5.
