Before I say anything, I must say that I don't watch a lot of older movies (by older,, I mean before the early 70s or so). I have absolutely nothing against them,, just not always my thing. I've seen Psycho,, so I figured I should give another classic Hitchcock movie a try.
Melanie is a San Francisco socialite who meets Mitch in a chance encounter. She is both annoyed and smitten with him. Thru her family's connections, she discovers who he is, and where he travels to on the weekend. She asks around about him and finds out he spends weekends with his mother and younger sister in their family home. Rather than thinking of her as a stalker, Mitch is very happy to see Melanie there,, and they begin a playful courtship.
As Melanie spends time with Mitch and gets to know his mother and sister,, strange occurrences are happening with the local birds. Melanie gets attacked by a seagull. A murder of crows attacks school children. Birds even kill a man in his home. What could be the cause of this?!?
Personally, I wouldn't even call this a horror film. I would say it's a suspense film (there's a difference, imo).
