NATURE'S GREATEST ATTACK

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2003)

The birds is simply one of Hitchcock's best films. It's not only his final masterpiece, but also the best film ever made about how we treat nature and how nature can strike back violently. Yet the best thing about THE BIRDS is how the film never takes itself too seriously, something not surprising given Hitchcock's peculiar sense of humor. And once again the undisputed master of suspense creates memorable scenes including the birds attack at the Bodega Bay gas station and one particular shot at the end of the movie involving a door that i will not spoil. Something so simple and yet so striking. And please, do yourself a favor and watch the film's unique trailer. A hands down classic!!!!!!!
