A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a man to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the worst when it gets surrounded by birds.
In this thriller the threat is from nature, thrillers are characterized by fast pacing movement. There are many moments that create suspense, for example there are long quiet moments, then you hear the birds flutter and automatically know something is going to happen.
The scene where Tippi Hedren is ravaged by the birds near the end of the movie took a week to shoot. The birds were attached to her by long nylon threads. The movie features 370 shots. Also there were a number of endings that were considered, furthermore the film does not finish with the usual ‘The End’ because Alfred Hitchcock wanted to give the impression of an unending terror. Hendren was actually cut in the face by a bird in one of shots. Finally there is no musical score for the film except the sound of the birds.
