I take issue with that ,actually. People can't "rape" a memory because you don't have to see the film.The movie wasn't anything special, besides the one scene I saw at Universal where the birds were attacking the entire town at once [which I found to be very funny because I thought it was fake and or a parody. I was a kid.]
The whole film is "sort of" scary, but I found the plot to be overrated in terms of the hype that has been generated over the years. Maybe its because it wasn't as graphic as I'd pictured a bird disaster film to be. Or maybe, its because its even more unrealistic than Godzilla or any of the more "implausible" monsters of cinema. Maybe the film would have been better as science fiction?
As long as it isn't Birdemic, it'll be OK.
