The Birds (1963)
8/10
An Extremely Innovative Thriller
14 December 2021
The unmistakable chemistry between Melanie Daniels and Mitch Brenner commences in a San Francisco pet store and develops into an instinctive romance when she follows him to his family farm in Bodega Bay to deliver to him the gift of lovebirds. The butterflies soon come to a screeching halt, though, when their sparsely populated Californian village is attacked by a sea of maniacal birds!

"'The Birds' Is An Extremely Innovative Thriller Film. Hitchcock's Mastery Of Suspense, Avant-Garde Cinematography, Practical Visual Effects, Haunting Shots, And Clever Sound Design All Play Their Part In What Makes This 1963 Romantic Horror-Mystery Noteworthy.

The Film Barely Has A Musical Score Which Made Those Drawn Out Silences Suspenseful. And Electrifying.

However, My Favorite Aspect Of The Film Is The Dialogue. It's Casual And Sophisticated, But Nearly Every Line Serves As Some Sort Of Foreshadowing, Proving Evan Hunter's Script To Be A Skillfully Written One.

The Brilliant Thespians, Notably Tippi Hedren And Jessica Tandy, Kept Me Glued To The Screen And Enthralled With Their Horrifying Quandary.

I Recommend You Give This 'Terrifying Motion Picture' A Nighttime Viewing... And Remember, The Next Scream You Hear May Be Your Own." 82%!
