This hilariously bad Spanish ripoff of "The Birds" is perfectly enjoyable entertainment. Much of "El ataque de los pájaros" ("Beaks: The Movie" in English) is slo-mo shots of people getting attacked or running or screaming. René Cardona Jr. apparently directed a lot of exploitation movies, and this one has all the elements that make one an exploitation movie: violence, bad acting, and some nudity. But like I said, it's a pretty fun movie, provided that you accept it as a total B movie (or maybe C movie). They probably had fun filming it. As for what Alfred Hitchcock's opinion would've been had he been alive when it got released, I figure that he would've either been offended that they ripped off his movie, or he would've laughed at how hilariously bad the result was.

And you thought that Alfred Hitchcock went as far as possible!
