Caw, caw.

Join us for the ornithological film of your dreams (and nightmares), courtesy of the Master of Horror, Alfred Hitchcock. Tippi Hedren stars in her career-defining role as Melanie Daniels, a wealthy San Francisco socialite who pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town. Slowly, life takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to violently attack people.

“Genuinely disturbing thriller classic from the master of suspense.” (Empire Magazine)

“Drawing from the relatively invisible literary talents of Daphne DuMaurier and Evan Hunter, Alfred Hitchcock has fashioned a major work of cinematic art, and “cinematic” is the operative term here, not ‘literary’ or ‘sociological.'” (Village Voice)
