Alfred Hitchcock?s The Birds - Not As Scary As I?d Been Led To Believe

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Better than many modern thriller/horror flicks, The Birds just failed to scare us.
Review: For quite some time I'd been terrified of this film. All I knew from my parents was that it was hideously scary, and not being a particular fan of horror films (and wanting to avoid nightmares), I'd shied away from it for years. When it was on...

This is my first Hitchcock film........

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2003
Review: And i was impressed with it. This film is nothing short of genius for the idea, acting and the build up of suspense. I was sat on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next. Every minute of this film was unpredictable and kept making ask my...

This scared me silly the first time I saw it

Date of Review:  May 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: This has always been one of my favorite suspense films, with quiet horror at its best.
Review: A young woman, Melanie Daniels (previously unknown model Tippi Hedren) goes to Bodega Bay, California, a small seaside village, to visit a man she just met and might be falling in love with, Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor). Where did they meet? At a pet...

That Hitchcock sucker flipped us The Birds! (Lean-N-Mean2 write-off)

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: I actually laughed at some of the bird attacks. Am I gonna go to Hell?
Review: The Birds is half love story, half nightmare, and something that is really hard to get away with nowadays. It is a story of many layers, open to the most outlandish of interpretation, and has subtext oozing out of its ears. I've seen this movie a...

A classic in the suspense genre

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 1999
Review: Alfred Hitchcock takes his time in this film and gives us the creeps as the title animals start to descend on a small town in California. Mr. Hitchcock uses misdirection to give us a pleasant story line of a woman seeking possible romance with what...

Why you should rent the classics.

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2000
Review: I choose to rent ?The Birds?, in my everlasting quest to view all Hitchcock movies at least once. Unfortunately the video store was one of those cruddy franchised video store that only stocks ?Psycho? and ?The Birds?. I was hoping to find rear...

The real definition of HORROR!

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2000
Review: I saw Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' a number of times, and I have to tell you that it was SCARY! The story starts in a little quiet town which ends up coming under attack by hundreds of birds who are hungry for blood. The story was well written,...

Flock to the video store for this one.

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2000
Review: You will never look at a flock of birds the same way after seeing this classic horror film by Alfred Hitchcock about birds gone mad.
The film takes place in Bodega Bay, a quiet small village set by the sea. I hear that Alfred Hitchcock used both...

Simple Terror: The Birds.

Date of Review:  May 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: This Hitchcock classic was nominated for an Oscar. Fourty Five years later, it still stands the test of time.
Review: The Birds (1963) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

The Birds is perhaps the best example of getting the most out of something simple. The title is simple, so is the concept, in the small coastal village of Bodega Bay, for reasons unknown birds...

Maybe if it had Godzilla instead of Birds...

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: It has some moments, naturally given it's director, but this is a textbook example of how NOT to make a movie about killer birds.
Review: Not only is this one of Alfred Hitchcock's more middling efforts, but it is also far too serious and dull to be enjoyed in a monster movie fashion. After about forty minutes of this tedious affair, you'll be praying that one of the birds turns out...
