The Birds

Legendary British master Alfred Hitchcock always found a new way to make terrifying thrillers which he proved with this classic masterpiece. A socialite's arrival into a small coastal town coincides with a mysterious and bizarre attack of birds that terrorizes the town. Hitchcock blends a potent love story and horror tale into a satisfying ride that still holds up. Tippi Hedren made her feature debut and stars along with Rod Taylor with solid performances. The supporting cast includes the excellent Jessica Tandy and Suzanne Pleshette with terrific performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
