Is it really that scary ?

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2000)

I have watched Psycho and The Birds, both Hitchcock films, the only two of his I have seen. Comparing this to Psycho, I didn't think "The Birds" was that frightening. The only part of the film which had an effect on me was at the end when Melanie is attacked in the room by lots of birds. I'm not saying "The Birds" is a poor film, it obviously isn't but it didn't have the moving impact which I expected from a Hitchcock film, especially after viewing Psycho.
