The Birds | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

While The Birds may lack the endurance of time in its visual effects, it endures as a classic horror that goes beyond just nature’s revenge set to rebalance the world around us.

The Birds remains a brilliant demonstration of schematic-yet-riveting visual storytelling, the kind you can tell was extensively storyboarded in advance.

“The Birds” remains a wonderful experience. It takes a somewhat wacky concept and brilliantly creates a society turned on its head by the unlikeliest of terrors.

Hard as it may be to believe of a Hitchcock, it doesn’t arouse suspense, which is, of course, what justifies and transforms the sadism that lies at the heart of every thriller. Here the sadism is all too nakedly, repellently present.

There’s a fair amount of beak-based eye trauma.
