A good beginner horror as it's got scares but only one truly gory image. Another Hitchcock classic.

A testament to AH’s mastery of suspense: I was the on the edge of my seat the most when there were no birds. Love this.

Hitch's last classic. Watched this over & over growing up. It stands the test of time, like most Hitchcock. Amazingly, even the FX stand up.

This is so genius, so well written and made that now, 60 years later, it's still good!

Classic Hitchcock: a potentially ridiculous premise in the hands of another film-maker, but the suspense is visceral.

31/2 stars. Hitchcock builds tension subtly as though the world is waiting for calamity, although nothing happens. Then hell breaks loose.
