A middling potboiler that suffers from being dubbed and full of holes so wide you can drive a Ferrari through them.

RTPhiladelphia InquirerSep 27, 2022

A certain amount of ingenuity lifts The Bird with the Crystal Plumage above the run-of-the-mill murder mystery.

Myles Standish

RTSt. Louis Post-DispatchSep 26, 2022

This Italian Hitchcock keeps the tension high, a taut suspense that grabs the viewer, and an effective atmosphere of menace and horror.

Dario Argento has indeed whipped up a creeper to send chills up and down the spine.
