Alfred Hitchcock’s classic finds our feathered friends turning against man, as they attack the sleepy Californian community of Bodega Bay. From this unusual premise, and most unlikely of antagonists, Hitchcock crafts a masterful, thrillingly suspenseful tale with special effects that remain disturbingly convincing today.
