One day in northern California birds decide to wage war on humanity. After a few isolated pecks and eye-gouges, a mass assault is launched, and macho local Taylor, with dippy society girl Hedren in tow, has to make a stand against the gulls and budgies.
A rare foray into the outright fantastic, this offers no explanation for the crisis and thus confronts its prosaic characters with the blindly irrational. Great Creepy Moment: the birds slowly gathering on a climbing frame outside the schooi as Tippi has a fag while the children sing. Best Downright Exciting Moment: the house under attack and Tippi's unwise venture into the attic.
