Movie: The Birds (1963)
Plot: In a bay-side town in California, migratory birds of different feathers flock together in attacking the public residents. The plight that a particular family undergoes is showcased in this unusual thriller.
Highlights:
The end is very much 'open-ended' and that lessens the impact to an extent.
Not many films are eerier than this Hitchcock classic!

Highlights:
- The concept is a winner! The dreadful scenario of What would happen if birds unite and start attacking human beings is told by Hitchcock and Co in a manner that would shock and shake the viewer. My admiration for Hitchcock now knows no bounds.
- The performances of the Brenner family - Man,mother & sister is highly convincing; The fear enacted by them is realistic.
- 'Tippi' Hedren is brilliant in her role. It is very surprising to note that it is her debut film.
- The graphics (or however it was called in the 60s) of showing the bird attacks & the fire-accident are highly commendable.
