Popularized by the Alfred Hitchcock film, The Birds is an intimate drama that dives into the fears that live just beneath the surface of the human psyche. In an isolated house, strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from relentless masses of attacking birds. With food scarce, trust fragile, and the sound of wings growing louder each day, paranoia takes hold of their makeshift fortress.
