Birds

      Melanie Daniels, a beautiful young blonde woman who seeks out a man she met at a pet store. But when she arrives at Bodega Bay in search of Mitch Brenner (the man from the pet store) when an unexpected war begins: a war between humanity and  birds. As ridiculous as the plot sounds, Hitchcock manages to keep it interesting with side stories;  A family torn apart, a town curious and scared and a teacher who struggles to let go of the man she once loved.

     The film is filled with suspense and terrifying scenes that make this a fantastic thriller, or possibly  a Horror Thriller. The vicious attacks from the birds keep you on the edge of your seats and covering your eyes. 

One of the film's famous scenes is when Melanie Daniels is picking up Mitch's younger sister from the local school and as she waits outside, she turns around to a terrifying surprise...

  

What makes this scene so frightening yet perfect, is that every shot of the playground shows the number of birds increase slowly and then the final shot were Melanie turns around as she watches one bird join a whole pack of birds surrounding the playground. By now the viewers would have known that the birds are the villains in this thriller and their main objective is to attack the humans, therefore leading the viewers to understand that Melanie and the students are in grave danger.
