​“This is Hitchcock at his best.” —Time Out                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
​Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS is a suspense thriller that plunges viewers into a world where nature turns against humanity. Starring a tortured Tippy Hendren and set in a picturesque bay, chaos ensues as ordinary birds inexplicably launch violent attacks on the unsuspecting residents. Hitchcock's expert direction and the absence of a musical score amplify the eerie atmosphere. This is classic filmmaking at its finest.
