THE BIRDS is Alfred Hitchcock's famous 1963 horror film about a small Californian community plagued by an attack of aggressive birds.
- Threat
The film contains several sequences in which people are attacked by swooping birds, including an attack on a group of terrified school children. While the infliction of injuries is not normally shown, there is some sight of the aftermath of attacks, including a sequence of shots showing a dead man whose eyes have been pecked out. We also see flames engulf a driver after he inadvertently sets fire to a petrol spillage. Other bodies are shown as a result of the attacks.
The film shows a number of characters smoking as was the norm for the era.
