Another milestone for the horror world.. Alfred Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS turns 50..
This was, as I wrote with Kubrick’s THE SHINING, another film that I did not really appreciate early on.. Later as I aged a bit though I became more of a fan.
I wasn’t around 50 years ago when it came out, but for those who were they remember when it was first released and how scary it was.. They still have the same creepy feeling.
And you have to admit, any time you’re under a large groups of birds loudly chirping, you get that deep down sense that ‘THE BIRDS’ premise is about to go wild on you..
