Time Out says

'The Birds Is Coming' the advance posters twittered ungrammatically but with justifiable excitement. With death dropping blandly out of a clear sky - its menace magnified into apocalypse from the crop-dusting scene in North by Northwest - this is Hitchcock at his best. Full of subterranean hints as to the ways in which people cage each other, it's fierce and Freudian as well as great cinematic fun, with ample fodder for the amateur psychologist following up on Hitch's tortuous involvement with his leading ladies.

  • omg, i thought this movie sucked but im thinking that has a lot to do with the fact that it was made forever ago and ... it sure doesn't have the technology we have today in producing movies. plus, on the DVD- why are all the characters eyes are blue?
