for the birds

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2016)

One of two Hitchcock movies that will terrify you-the other is Psycho. The Big Year is a comedy about birds-this isn't. This movie is about bird attacks in the San Francisco area. Memorable scenes include the birds popping up, little by little, on the metal structure, the scene at the gas station, the gull attack on the lady, and the "swarm" at the end. Watch for Hitchcock's cameo at the beginning. This is one of his classics. I loved it. Prepared to be scared if you watch it-especially if birds terrify you! The cinematography was a big plus too-especially of the bird swarms.
**** out of ****
