Eventually, it didn’t turn out to be one of my favorite movies from this great master. Indeed, to be honest, I do think that the concept was a little bit limited preventing this movie from being truly great but it was still pretty awesome and it completely deserv... read more

Initial Thought: I figured I should check out a supposedly reliable classic that I've never seen. I always enjoy a good Hitchcock film. I really should have seen this one already. I'm such a slacker. Better late than never though.

Characters/Acting: Some of the actors here are Hitchcock regulars. I'm really only familiar with a few like Tippi Hedren or Veronica Cartwright. There are s... read more

"1.5. 2024 The basic idea of "The Birds" is one of the most frightening ones ever: birds start suddenly attacking against people for no apparent reasons thus proving how truly vulnerable people are when facing the unpredictable forces of nature. The film starts as a light-hearted and comedic romance film involving a pampered socialite and an arrogant lawyer. Unprecedented threat from the sky shakes up their worldview and forces them to rely on their basic instincts. The bird attack scenes are so"
