Based on a Daphne du Maurier short story, Alfred Hitchcock’s penultimate masterpiece has become one of the most influential horror films of all time. Starring then newcomer and PCFF 2012 guest Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, and a 14-year-old Veronica Cartwright, who is appearing at the Plaza Classic Film Festival, The Birds is a psychological thriller where nature turns against humanity as varieties of birds take over a small coastal town. Socialite Melanie Daniels (Hedren) travels to Bodega Bay to pursue a romantic interest. Her fun flirtation is quickly disrupted by a series of sudden, violent bird attacks forcing the town to struggle to survive the relentless feathered invasion. Experience on the big screen how Hitchcock delivers his masterful blend of psychological tension, special effects, and eerie suspense, which remains as unsettling and thought provoking today as it was in 1963. — Keri Moe
