The Birds

For a preview of the original movie click on the title above.

I took these pictures on Friday in Woods Cross.
It reminded so much of the "The Birds" (1963) a suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. As a child of the 60's this was the scariest movie ever. I still like to watch it and it still scares me.


Did you know.....
According to The Hollywood Reporter a 2009 remake of The Birds is in production, with actress Naomi Watts, who is in discussions to take the role of Melanie Daniels. The plot will be based on the original short story by du Maurier.
It had been reported that the film would have a release date of July 3, 2009. Producer Brad Fuller had discounted that report in an interview with The Trades. In an interview with the Denver Post, Robert Knepper said he would also be starring in the new remake; although no official word is out, it is believed that he has signed. According to IMDb, the remake has been delayed and likely would not be released until 2010 or 2011.


I'm looking forward to seeing the remake, however it will never have the same impact of the original version.

That is definitely a bunch of birds up to no good. I also love the movie and have seen it many times. I remember being terrified of that movie. And the big question is why were the birds so attracted to Melanie?

I have strong memories of my mother going on and on about how this was the scariest movie she had ever seen.

That movie scared the crap out of me as a kid too. I think I watched it with you and Grandma.
I like your pictures of all the birds. It does look quite similar to the shots from the movie.
