Review:
Finally a classic film that is still interesting today! I truly never liked birds, but this movie gave me a logical explanation. They get organized and they attack people! It really is something to see droves of these cranky birds attacking a socialite! There is a bit of a dramatic back story but who cares...did I mention that the birds totally attack people! Way to make another phobia even more exaggerated! The thing that really detracts from the film though is the boring wooden dialogue which consumes the first painful hour of the film, it does pay off though! When the birds attack it's pretty darned awesome and creepy but it takes so long for them to attack it's awful tempting to turn off. Definitely a classic but it's a pity that some more oomph wasn't put into the first 1/2 of the film.
