"Without a doubt, this is one of the films that comes closest to terror directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The director became known for directing suspense with mastery and again shows this in 'The Birds' - and the fear of flying animals becomes real after this work. Based on a story by Daphne Du Maurier, the director shows that he was able to work very well with the visual effects available in the 1960s and even reviewing years later, however dated they may have become, they remain terrifying. 'The Birds' is a classic of the Master of Suspense starring Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor."
