Memorable Hitchcock Classic

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2000)

Although it was 3 years after Psycho, The Birds was well worth the wait. Although the acting wasn't great--Tippi Hedren was much better in Marnie, the special effects in this movie was absolutely awesome. You have to remember that this was 1963 and that there were no computer graphics/animation to pull off the illusion needed to make this movie successful. I felt that not having any music for this movie was an effective move by Hitch that added to the eerieness of the picture. Just thinking about the chance of every bird in the world to gang up on the human race sends chills down my spine. Hitchcock is able to pull it off. One of his 10 best. If you have never seen this movie, you must see it as soon as possible.
