Birds by Walatsebi Kofi-Mensah Lomotey

I absolutely hate birds. I despise them and this movie made my fear even worse. When I see birds gathering, I start running!!

If the film's protagonist Melanie Daniels (as portrayed by former super-model Tippi Hedron) would of just stayed in San Francisco none of this nonsense would have ever happened. Melanie just wanted to play a prank on Mitch because he played one on her. So she decided to drive all the way out to a small town of Bodega Bay in northern California.

Once she got there, the birds started acting up. It all started at a little girl's party [Melanie was actually attacked by a gull crossing the bay after trespassing and planting the love birds in Mitch's mother's house]. Birds started flying around every where and attacking the children but that wasn't it. The first first big attack happened in town. Cars started blowing up, birds flying around everywhere and killing people.

It all came down to the final scene. Mitch, his mother, his younger sister, and Melanie were boarded up in the house and just when they got comfortable and felt like everything was okay, the birds came. Thousands of them. They started pecking at the windows and even trying to get through the boarded up doors. Melanie almost got killed cause her dumb self wanted to go into a room where the birds got into. She almost got pecked alive. I wish she died, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Then Mitch walked outside and got the car so they could get out of town and the birds, thousands of them were just sitting outside watching and stopped attacking.

Somehow Mitch was able to get the car and leave with them and that was the end.
This movie was most definitely not the best movie Alfred Hitchcock made. Psycho was ten times better. I hate how there was no suspense at all. No suspense sounds or music just silence. I also hate how from the beginning of the movie you can't tell its even a Horror film.
