elijahbutler-40119 When it comes to horror movies, I love the genre and I don't usually get scared of horror movies, but MY GOD this was a TERRIFYING experience as a kid! Alfred Hitchcock, the master and the one and only master of suspense and horror has brought us many films and his most memorable and iconic films are Psycho and this film. The Birds is definitely one of the scariest movies I've ever seen and I think some reasons for that are that Alfred Hitchcock takes the suspense in this movie very dark if he needs to in certain scenes. There was also no composed score or music in this film which actually made the film feel a little realistic and it STILL terrifies me today! The acting in this film is top notch and the story is pretty solid and I thought some of the characters such as Melanie played by Tippi Hedren and Mitch Brenner played by Rod Taylor were really fleshed out throughout the majority of the film. But for me, the scariest thing about this film is that you don't know why these birds are attacking people. It's just the sense of horror that you feel in these birds when you see them hurting and killing people and it is absolutely TERRIFYING! The mystery behind this film on why these birds are going insane for no reason is absolutely frightening to watch and this has to be one of the greatest horror movies I've seen in a while and it's definitely one of the scariest movies, especially if it's made by a true legend of the genre. I love The Birds. The atmosphere of the film is disturbing and creepy and the movie itself is very scary and it's one of my all time favorite horror classics and i'm gonna give The Birds a 10/10.

okk07 First, When I finished watching the birds, I thought this movie gives us fear very much. For example, this is no music. When I saw Psycho, I noticed the importance of music because I felt fear very much by music. However, There are no music in this film. I thought this technique was novelty.Second, I think Hitchcock's techniques is great. When Madeline was attacked by birds, I believed Madeline was attacked by birds actually, but this was not true. However, We believe this movie's story and go into our heart and soul. Third, I expect this movie appeal the importance to treasure animals equally. Many people think humans are not equal to animal. As a result, some people crucify animals. However, humans are equal to animals actually. Then I thought this movie appealed the importance to treasure animal equally.Finally, I felt frightened since I finished watching The birds. I felt Hitchcock is great again.

ypandalove At first, this film didn't give me any shock, because characters merely talked each other and their speaking and subtitles speed was so fast that I couldn't understand substance in places.  However, the scene suddenly began to change from halfway.  A large number and many kinds of birds attacked on people. I think this film is a little different from other horror films, because even if some ghosts often appear, we might guess their mind by their background.  However, in this film, the birds don't speak anything so we don't be able to find the reason why the birds attack people to the end.  (But possibly, it'll be revenge on human or demand of releasing lovebird.)  So this point is weirdness and frightens us. One of the theme of this film is change of relationship between Melanie and Lydia.  Lydia felt suspicion about Melanie, because Lydia had strange feeling for his son.  In this point incest like "Psycho" was described in "The Birds".  I think there's consistency of theme of women in Hitchcock's film.

Greg The first half of The Birds is a dull, soap-opera-y story involving Rod Taylor, his soon-to-be-girlfriend Tippi Hedren, his cold mother Jessica Tandy, sister Veronica Cartwright and ex-girlfriend Suzanne Pleshette. It might as well have been lifted from another film since it has nothing to do with the birds.In fact, the birds don't begin their attacks until about fifty minutes into the movie. When they do there are some genuinely scary moments, although of course the special effects look rather dated today, even the fake blood doesn't quite look like the correct shade of red. We're never told why the birds behave this way, which makes the film pretty intellectually unsatisfying. They just start killing people for apparently no reason.Finally, after witnessing much death and destruction, Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedren leave town, but the birds are still hanging around en masse, ready to attack more people. I half expected a title card reading, "End of Part One", but no — that was the whole movie.This film is called a classic by the critics. But most of the time I was bored, waiting for something to happen, and even when the bird attacks came, I couldn't help asking myself, "so when do we find out why they're doing this?"
