The discerning well crafted screenplay-combined with the keen and perceptive eye from one of our great cinematic film director’s reminds me to always K.I.S.S. (”Keep It Simple Songbird”), when writing and presenting an intelligent horror film. Beside the obvious main focal point involving repeated attacks of GOD’S once massive, now evolved and reduced winged creations, Mr. Hitchcock chose to focus on the most powerful emotions of the human condition… love - its varying degrees and its many mysterious psychological facets. Mr. Hitchcock’s Para lactic way of casting and directing each character within each scene of the movie is amazing to watch, even after repeated viewings. Today’s over reliance of current C.G.I. effects does not affectively present and convey a good movie - it always has and always will begin with an excellent story, novel, fable, or song transformed into a memorable script. THE BIRDS will always be on top of my list of great cinematic films from planet earth.
