Another coulda been good movie that almost got me cheering for the birds. People attacked by Ravens with mad cow disease, does a disservice to the Mennonites. Does a disservice to the Ravens and really puts Hitchcock on a way higher pedestal than he was already on. As others have said where did all the townsfolk go. Surely someone could help. A silly synopsis that made me see red. People killed by birds yet the blood so artistically arranged on their heads. This did not go overboard on the effects or even the blood quota. Such a shame that it was made at all. Why kill the dog, why kill Rachel? And why wasn't her husband worried about that death. Wooden acting to the nth degree. It is not a homage even using Mr Taylor. Birds was a lot more intense and a lot scarier and they probably didn't have the money or the effects available today. Bird throwing rocks Gimme a break! And Doris- why did she not die when the coach who was closer to the bus did, and could have gotten on the bus or at least under it. When I saw the thing in the well it looked like an alien human being (thought it might have been inbreed) rather than a cow. The story has no development, no guts and silly choices of kills and victims. It gets 3 because I have seen worse but I want my money back so I can buy a copy of the Birds.
