Here is what people are saying about the The Birds
5 Star Rating  "An oldie but most definitely a goodie!"2009-10-24
- Reviewed By stellar-eruption-bill-278
*exhales deeply* 20 horror reviews down, 11 to go before I reach my "31 reviews for 31 days of October" goal. With Halloween at the tail end, October is definitely the "month of horror" should there ever be one, and "The Birds" is a definite horror masterpiece. Although this movie is over 40 years old, watching it today, there really isn't any "dated" feel to it, unlike some other horror movies of the time (such as "Blood Feast", although that movie is still enjoyable B-movie gold).

"The Birds" is full of suspense and a thickening plot, and is able to be a scary movie without relying heavily on the graphic side of horror, although I will admit there are a few scenes that were probably quite graphic for the mid '60s audience. However, this is certainly a movie that proves Alfred Hitchock the "Master of Suspense". The birds are the villain altogether, a miniature army like the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park". And that's one of the things that makes this such a great horror movie. Usually, there's only one villain in a horror movie, but "The Birds" is able to produce a countless amount of villains, in the flocks and flocks of angry birds! Even today, such a concept is rather rare, so for it's time, it was most certainly a visionary concept, I would assume!

Although I'm probably a lot younger than most people familiar with this film, I still think "The Birds" is a suspenseful and brilliantly-done horror masterpiece. What it lacks in the gorier side of horror, it undoubtedly makes up for in the awesome writing of the film, and the all-around suspense. Highly recommended for all horror fans, especially in time for Halloween! Well, only ten more reviews to go before I reach my goal, time for a breather. Thanks for the time, and peace.
 
5 Star Rating  "1963 Hitchcock dvd."2009-10-10
- Reviewed By User: ASJ54MITON1NO
This film must have shocked audiences in the early sixties, the same way that Jaws, shocked audiences in the mid-seventies. A dark perspective of nature vs. man, which had some, state of the art, visual effects, for the times. Scary and effective, and one of Hitchcock's best editing sequences, namely the scene, where the birds attack, at the gas station, which ends in disaster and destruction. Even though the film's subject matter is heavy, it's presented in such a way, that the viewer is aware, that it's only a movie, so, it's very entertaining to watch.
 
4 Star Rating  "Unforgettable"2009-05-04
- Reviewed By ccthemovieman
This is one of those landmark films where if you saw it in the theater when it was released, you never forgot the experience.

What I'll never forget - and this is true, so help me - is that moments after I left the theater, a couple birds swooped over my head. I thought I'd have a heart attack at the age of 18!! I never forgot that. It still creeps me out.

Since then, I've seen the film at least a half dozen times, on TV, VHS and on DVD and always found it fascinating....even 40-some years later. Sure, it doesn't pack the wallop it did when it came out, and it's a bit too talky in spots for today's tastes, but it's still scary

I'd like to see a good Blu-Ray treatment given to this film, since I've never seen a great transfer of this movie.....and that includes this disc, which looks grainy (and why I gave it four stars instead of five.)

Beware! The package and Amazon state, that this DVD is "Widescreen". Sadly, it is not. It is, however, still a great, classic film. Enjoy!
 
5 Star Rating  "ONE OF HITCH'S BEST"2009-03-09
- Reviewed By User: A2IZIYYCEGOMEU
It's amazing how well this classic has held up over the years. Hitchcock's use of silence to build suspense was marvelously innovative, and as usual, the pschological underpinnings of The Master's characters play a large part in adding to the tension of the plot.

This edition boasts good color, and sound, and some fun extra's ( Tippi Hedren's screen test among them ).
 
4 Star Rating  "Disturbing"2009-02-10
- Reviewed By User: AX96C2XDLM101
Made in the mid-Sixties, this film has no backing music and is shot mainly in the town of Bodega Bay, California. Melanie Daniels (Tippy Hedren) is the daughter of the publisher of "one of the larger newspapers in San Francisco" and carries, along with her two surprise lovebirds, a sense of entitlement. Mitch (Rod Taylor) is a self-assured lawyer who lives with his widowed mother and young sister in Bodega Bay.

For some reason these characters are annoying from the get-go. Melanie is precious about her entitlement, and Mitch is a little too smirky and cold. As the horrific action progresses, we see these characters gain humanity. This is the only lift in this film. This film is masterfully filmed. The early scene of Melanie in the boat, in the middle of the bay, is especially memorable.

Hitchcock seemed to select the location, set up the characters, and then let the mechanics roll like a well-oiled machine. As smoothly as Melanie's sports car. But he inserts his trademark sadism in this movie. People are targeted as individuals. It is almost the mass that wins -- the mass of birds gathering along the coast. It is almost the fear of the individual that Hitchcock evokes.

The townspeople are afraid (superstitiously so) of Melanie, the gilded stranger who is so unlike them. Melanie is hinted at being a bit stunted emotionally from not having known her mother. Mitch is hinted at having had affairs he drops because of his controlling mother. The person behind the facade, the things people hide -- these are the things that Hitchcock nags at, pokes his viewers with, and in his vision, these things are ominous.

At the end there is some assurance that "the military will be involved." Only a mass of anonymous men can fight the anonymous birds.
