A great horror flick but a disappointing Hitchcock film

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 1999)

This is a great horror film but a mediocre Hitchcock film. It's worth seeing for all the great shots, such as the two love birds swaying back and forth as the car turns and the scene at the end of the film when Mitch opens the door and sees ALL the BIRDS, but all in all, I was disappointed in the film. The ending was abrupt and left me feeling very unfulfilled. However, don't let me discourage you from watching it... If you're in the mood for some shock horror and want to see a bunch of screaming children get their eyes poked out, rent this and Night of the Living Dead (the original one) and be shocked at the similarities.
