Mason M Though I have had some mixed feelings about Hitchcock's films in the past, there really is no denying that he is the master of suspense and The Birds shows all of Hitchcock's strengths. I always doubted that this could make a group of birds scary, but now I have to admit this is probably one of the scariest films I've ever seen. Hitchcock's directing is great and precise as always, and it's impressive watching how in this film, all of the shots are framed and done perfectly, and he only ever does anything with the camera when he needs to build up tension. And the writing is another highlight of this film. The characters and their interconnected relationships are some of the most interesting that were ever in a Hitchcock film, and much of the dialogue is greatly done too. The Birds shows Hitchcock at his height and highlights all of the things he does best at as a director. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Leprechaun K Like all other Hitchcock movies, it is slow-paced, uneventful, and quite boring to be honest. Hitchcock might have been a master of his time, but his movies do not withstand the test of time. They did not age well. This one was no exception. The ending is also a let down. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Autumn M The Birds is the quintessential monster movie, in which birds terrorize the residents of Bodega Bay. It is definitely dated, especially by the special effects. Pros: the characters are slightly developed and the main character did demonstrate growth. Cons: Much of the writing was puzzling, and seemed unfinished. The actors were good and the pacing was fine, but again it was just okay, not anything special. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Finnegan H This is my favourite movie. You ever seen the cats movie 2019? This is scarier than that. The build up is a little long though. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review David H The best thing about this movie is the sexual tension between tippy Hedron and Rod Taylor Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review jacob c A brilliant film on every level. Among its many notable features is its phenomenal use of silence, with its lack of music greatly escalating the tension.
