Classic Alfred Hitchcock spooky. I forgot how much they smoked in movies back then, or how the main glam character wears the same dress for days for her infatuation with the male lead. Still a fun spooky movie and next time you see a swarm of blackbirds in your yard you’ll move quickly an quietly…Lol

Sort of a proto-zombie flick, from the panic of the townsfolk to the isolation at the house with the horde banging at the door, with recognizable tropes of other later classics peppered throughout, and images that surely were mind-blowing shockers for a 1963 audience. The 4K remastering brings out the best and worst of the effects of the time. This was a good blind-buy.

I really dug this movie. Having only seen Hitchcock’s more well known films I can say that this ranks near the top of the likes of Psycho, Vertigo and Rear Window. Only a master like Hitch could make ordinary birds seem threatening and this movie really kept me enthralled throughout.

great looking steelbook for classic Hitchcock flick. arrived quick and luckily without dents or damage. best buy please ship all steelbooks in boxes with bubble wrap around all sides not just top. worst feeling opening a steelbook and seeing dents from paper envelope packaging and not box.

One of Hitchcock's most frightening and suspenseful films gets the 4K steelbook treatment, and much like his other recent releases on the format, they've used original artwork and designs from the film's first theatrical release. This film - this release - belongs on the shelf of every cinema fan.

Hitchcock's only "monster" movie!

The Birds takes the most innocuous of God's creatures and turns them into Freddy Kruger. In a CGI challenged age, Hitchcock uses camera angles, skilled actors and iconic music to make you glad you're not in that movie. As usual, Hitch leaves it up to the viewer to be a participant in the story (to say more would be a spoiler). The Birds was Hitch's ONLY "monster" movie but a blueprint for all director's who followed to take a piece of.

Love this movie and it’s never looked better on home video. This is the same disc included in Universal’s recent Hitchcock Classics 4K UHD box set. The Steelbook packaging really adds a sense of prestige that this film certainly is worthy of. Highly recommended.

A classic film with a sweet steelbook cover. I love this trend of putting poster art on the cover of these steelbooks. The film looks and sounds fantastic. I've only recently started getting into Hitchcock and I haven't regretted it yet.

The film is perfect. The 4K presentation is stunning, if you discount the visual effect sequences that by their very nature will always look a bit shaky. The steelbook is stunning. This is one of the best looking Steelbooks of all time.

This is an amazing steelbook. The art pops, the back panel of Hitchcock ties it together perfectly, and to top it off the transfer on the film is top notch and complete with extras. You can’t ask for a better release than this.

A stunning and beautiful movie. Despite obvious technical limitations, this movie is extremely well done , can instill a fair share of anxiety, and is ultimately a classic. All within a beautifully simple steelbook.

As always Hitchcock is great, and the 4k version makes the Birds look even better the before. If you are a fan of Hitchcock then you need to check this version out. it is worth the purchase.

Hitchcock was the master of suspense and back in the day people were probably having a heart attack watching this really good film and picture quality is outstanding and the steelbook is gorgeous
