Proving once again that build-up is the key to suspense, Alfred Hitchcock successfully turned birds into some of the most terrifying villains in horror history. In this horror classic, the avian world declares war on the human inhabitants of the northern California town of Bodega Bay.
"Hitch's much misappreciated follow-up to Psycho is arguably the greatest of all disaster films -- a triumph of special effects, as well as the fountainhead of what has become known as gross-out horror." - J. Hoberman, Village Voice
"Mr. Hitchcock and his associates have constructed a horror film that should raise the hackles of the most courageous and put goose-pimples on the toughest hide." - Bosley Crowther, New York Times
