The Birds (1963)
4/10
So people got scared by Ravens and Seagulls?
21 June 2024
Dear Mr. Hitchcock, you did not need to create a film to convince me that ravens and seagulls are incorrigible creatures, as I am well aware of their 'erratic' personalities.

Anyway, this happens to be my third Hitchcock film (following Rear Window and Vertigo) and unfortunately, it is yet another disappointment.

To be honest, I didn't even plan on watching it initially, but the abundance of positive reviews piqued my curiosity the other day, so I decided to give it a chance.

Little did I know that all I would get is a mediocre amalgamation of genres, where both romance and thrill fail to leave a lasting impact.

Maybe it's because I've been exposed to these specific genres too much, or perhaps it's due to the outdated approach that lies beneath, but I just couldn't connect with the tale or find myself caring for the characters, I adored the location, had fun with the technical sides but that's about it!
