    A Classic

    The Birds being the first "scary movie" that gave me a nightmare,i jumped at the chance to see it on the big screen. Amazing. I love the class of the period,as well as the intimations of the dark side of human situations,without being blatant.....ON TO THE SCARY FACTOR...hitchcock did it in a myriad of intelligent and creative forms..In the Birds, the fact that something so terrifying came from something we see every day and never give a second thought to, birds of all things. Imagine what he might do today!

    One of Alfred's Hitchcock's Best

    The Birds stars Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor. With Alfred Hitchcock's twisted brain he creates an psychotic environment of human eating Birds that start to take over a small California town , Bodega Bay. Well, since this film is directed by the amazing Alfred Hitchcock, I think we all know what grade this film would get. After I watched this, it freaked me out so much I was too scared to go outside. But this film is hair-rising awesome. The suspense will kill you as you enter Hitchcock's imagination of birds. His talent really shows in the finals shots as you see a whole area covered with birds. Tippi Hedren plays Melanie Daniels, as a rich, pretty blonde, and her charm stays with you the whole film, while by her side is Mitch Brenner, played by Rod Taylor. Both kids and adults will enjoy this, though their may be a few scenes where you may wanna cover their eyes. The Birds is a classic suspense film that will creep you out, and watch your breath, fly away.
