We all know by now that talking a Hitchcock film up is like beating a dead a horse. However, that doesn't mean it isn't true. The Birds is wonderful and definitely shows why Alfred Hitchcock is generally considered the master of suspense. Whether you like it or not, he made great films and this is one of them.
The story revolves around Melanie Daniels, a spoiled rich woman that is used to have her way. Mitch Brenner, a lawyer plays a prank on her when he sees her in a pet shop. Melanie decides to visit Mitch in his small town to repay him. However, the birds in town start doing very strange things. It starts with a seagull attacking and just clipping Melanie but they become more and more vicious and grow in numbers. They realize to put their differences aside and focus on solely on surviving.
In this day and age, a film like this would be titled a "disaster movie." However, this one set apart from the modern films because it contains something very important that they lack: intelligence. It is simply just an awesome film and very worthy of your eyes.
10/10 Jack O'lanterns
