September 24, 2009Classic horror/thriller from Hitch. I think this was my first Hitchcock experience in fact, it frightened the life out of me. Still does! I hate pigeons!

May 20, 2009What starts out as a potential love story, with flirtatious games, grows rapidly into a horrific (and certainly scary in it?s day) tale of a community infested with relentless vicious birds.
?Tippi? Hedron (an Actress I admittedly had never heard of) made quite an impression a...( read more) -
May 19, 2009i watched this again recently and was struck by the brilliant premise. it launched the wave of disaster films of the 60's-70's and was hitch's last masterpiece imo. i love that playground scene; it's still eerie. of course the effects are really dated now and i do wish they'd...( read more)

April 15, 2009Playful heiress Tippi Hedren pursues handsome lawyer Rod Taylor to the sleepy coastal village of Bodega Bay only to become besieged by flocks of killer birds.

June 8, 2007Hitchcock was way ahead of his time on the special effects for the Birds.
(children running from school scene)He took camera shoots of the actual birds flying overhead , then had birds flying in an all white room(going nuts.lol) and superimposed this image on top of the regular birds,then finally fake birds attacking. Also loved how Hitchcock wanted to keep everyone a little chilled about birds he never revealed why the birds went nutty.
The final scene is very scary as you wonder what even the slightest move would cause the wacko birds to do.
Talk about strength in numbers. -
