Pure excitement!

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2001)

This is truly a very good thriller. It must have been something to see this one in a theater back in 1963. The camera-work and the cinematography is excellent and Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren and Jessica Tandy all give top notch performances. I've seen «The Birds» 7 or 8 times and never get tired of it.

It's nice to see how the movie ends. Hitchcock, in some way, is letting you believe that something like this could happen to you on your next trip to the cottage. Without giving any explanations for the birds actions, Hitchcock changes the way we're going to be looking at a flock of seagulls. What if???
Out of 100, I gave it 84.
