All silliness aside

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2019)

I'll be honest, I sometimes watch this movie to laugh. The reaction of the people to being attacked to birds, just gets me sometimes. Other times, the mystery of it grasps me. I wonder just WHY this town, WHY these people, WHY these birds. It makes me wonder what was going on in the beautiful brain of Hitchcock that he thought this up. The lack of music haunts you, the silence adds to the suspense instead of a nice violin piece. You start to fear the sounds of the birds just as the people on the screen are starting to fear them. You get drawn in, you find yourself the next day noticing just how many birds there are around you.
This is a must watch for any Hitchcock fan.
