At first, it's no more than a sea gull swooping down and pecking at Melanie's head. Things take a truly ugly turn when hundreds of birds converge on a children's party. There is never an explanation as to why the birds have run amok, but once the onslaught begins, there's virtually no letup. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hitchcock does it right; that's really the beginning and ending of it.
If you like the horror element of the everyday becoming dangerous though, this movie will particularly endear itself to you.

Thanks for the DVD
This was the first movie I saw at a ripe old age of about 5 years old. My mom told my brother and myself we could watch a movie while she did the wash, The Birds was the only movie showing as it had just came out and was being shown until people stopped coming to it. It scared us so much that we left to hide in bathroom about five times. Then would come back out and start watching again until it scared us again.

The Birds
This is one of Alfred Hitchcock's best films. It's really good and kind of scary. I've always liked this one.

A true classic. Might make you weary of birds, but a classic Hitchcock film.
