The Birds
The Birds (28-Mar-1963)
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Writers: Daphne Du Maurier; Evan Hunter
Keywords: Horror, Explosions
Melanie Daniels travels to Bodega Bay in Northern California, to give a pair of lovebirds to Mitch Brenner, a bachelor she fancies. Wild birds, with uncanny organization and surprising ferocity, begin to attack and kill humans, at an increasingly alarming pace. More complex than at first blush; thin as it sounds, one of Hitchcock's best and most iconic films. Absence of a soundtrack serves to heighten the suspense and terror. Received an Oscar nomination for Visual Effects.
