Date watched: November 11Review: Bodega Bay, Bodega Bay, Bodega Bay! Remind me to never go there if I happen to be in California. Alfred Hitchcock, the theatrical master of suspense, is just like the literary master of suspense, Dean Koontz, he never disappoints. This movie ranks up there with his best movies such as Vertigo and The Lady Vanishes. It has what those two movies have, believable characters, enjoyable dialogue, and tension that rips you out of your seat and makes you want to look away from the screen, though you just have to keep watching, because if you don't, something may go terribly wrong. Tippi Hedren did a great job with her innocent victim role as Melanie Daniels, while Rod Taylor did a swell job not letting her steal the movie. This macabre movie is masterful, and with the last twenty minutes of the movie, turn on the lights, and watch out for The Birds!
Rating: 9.3/10.0
