Premise
Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece about a town besieged by angry birds. Not to be confused with the Angry Birds game.

Thoughts
If I recall, it was both a technical and visual spectacle. There were numerous interesting things about this film, from the amazing buildup of suspense in the playground, to the lack of traditional score from Bernard Herrmann, to Hitchcock's ability to create convincing special effects with limited technology. Even if I was not impressed by the visual effects, it was genuinely scary.

What I would change
Nothing.
