Is it really just a disaster movie?

I deeply suspect that this movie was originally set as a suspense film, but because there is no scientific explanation, it turned into a catastrophic horror film. The subtle mother-child relationship between the male protagonist and his mother, the appearance of the female protagonist and the male protagonist’s mother is surprisingly similar, the female protagonist’s single-parent family background, the male protagonist abducted two women from San Francisco to this remote area, the female partner’s words have something to say, The bizarre and unsolved murders of this small town, coupled with the private belief that the root cause of the canary in the flock of birds disaster, lacks a clue to connect. In short, I think it is not a qualified suspense film.

The story is almost a bit, although every scene is still serving suspense, the heroine smokes a cigarette and the crow slowly falls on the shelf behind her, the gas station explodes and the three heroines’ panic expressions are edited and taken from the perspective of God, and finally the bathroom is copied. The bird swarms attacked in the enclosed space were quickly edited, and the palms of the hands were squeezed and sweated. Two children who were eating chicken asked their mother "Will the bird eat us?"

Anti-type handling under the extreme type framework. From disaster to curse, sensory fear extends to motivational fear, the source is repeatedly questioned in the middle, and all rational thinking is broken with the mysterious atmosphere of the climax. A model of sound narrative, microscopic images and macroscopic scenes together form an apocalyptic scene.

Melanie Daniels: Hello there, Mrs. MacGruder.
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Oh, hello, Miss Daniels.
Melanie Daniels: Have you ever seen so many gulls? What do you suppose it is?
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Well, there must be a storm at sea, that can drive them inland, you know. I was hoping you'd be a little late because he hadn't arrived yet.
Melanie Daniels: Oh, but you'd said three o'clock...
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Oh I know, I know. I've been calling all morning. Oh, Miss Daniels you have no idea. They are so difficult to get, really they are. We have to get them from India, when they're just baby chicks, and then we have...
Melanie Daniels: But this one won't be a chick, will he?
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Certainly not. Oh no, certainly not. This will be a full grown mynah bird, full grown.
Melanie Daniels: And he'll talk?
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Well yes, of course he'll... well no, you'll have to teach him to talk. My. I guess maybe I'd better phone, they'd said three o'clock. Maybe it's the traffic. I'll call. Would you mind waiting?
Melanie Daniels: Well, maybe you'd better deliver him. Let - let me give you my address.
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Oh, well, alright, but I'm sure they're on the way... Would you mind if I called?
Melanie Daniels: No, alright, but...
