Pigeons from hell

No, not the short story, but Hitchcock's The Birds. It feels a little silly these days, but there are some effective moments of suspense when the birds are not attacking. When the main characters board up the house, wait, and try to find news on the radio, it reminded me of zombie films. Maybe Romero was slightly influenced by this?

Another thing I really like is that no explanation is given. Still, overall this is only an average film.
