The art of creating things without the digital era. Every time I see Hitchcock's movies I get a free cinema lesson. There is a smoldering violence and rage that assault us in every way. It does not scare us, however we feel impatient by what's happening in and - specially - out of field. A really powerful acting by Jessica Tandy who plays the jealous mother.

Hitchcock's most purely terrifying film, creating an evocative atmosphere of both disturbing ambiguity and concrete horror. The sound design alone is masterful, and this is the master at the height of his powers in terms of suspense and filmmaking craft. One of the greatest films ever made.

Bodega Bay is much less sinister than I had expected it to be in real life. Nice shrimp though. www.foec.wordpress.com

Obra mayor dentro de la filmografia de Alfred Hitchcock, este film se destaca por el reto que significó para el extraordinario cineasta prescindir casi por completo de una banda sonora (salvo en la aterradora secuencia del ataque de los cuervos en la escuela primaria), la experimentación en el montaje y el magistral uso de unos muy sofisticados (para la epoca) efectos especiales. La escena final (en la cual, los sobrevivientes huyen sin rumbo fijo mientras el mundo termina siendo dominado por las aves) es realmente de antologia. Como dato curioso, a principios de los ochenta, en coproducción entre México y los Estados Unidos, se filmó una cinta titulada El ataque de los pájaros, la cual fue dirigida por René Cardona Jr. y protagonizada, entre otros, por Sonia Infante y Salvador Pineda. Lo peor fue que a Cardona Jr. se le ocurrió aventarse la "puntada" (obviamente, los mas puristas lo vieron como una verdadera blasfemia) de promoverla como una secuela del clasico hitchconiano.

Despite its great directing and its nice cinematography, I did not like this movie so much (although I'm very fond of Hitchcock). The first half is pretty boring, the characters are stupid and annoying, the acting is quite bad and the so-called symbols don't feel very subtle.

Se você achava os pássaros seres inofensivos, depois deste filme você mudará de ideia. Obra-prima de thriller.

Generally effective but with its mechanical bones more exposed than usual, the film is little more than a concentric series of set-piece frenzies with often pointless or underexplored exposition padding out the narrative between avian attacks. Of course, there is much to enjoy along the way and the sense of location is well realised, but its all a very narrow trajectory.
