This film poster is fanart created by a designer with a heart for all of Alfred Hitchcock's classics. The film The Birds (1963) marked an innovative high point in Hitchcock's Hollywood period, in which he experimented with special effects and suspense in colour.
The story of The Birds is loosely based on the novella of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, who previously had successful collaborations with Hitchcock in Rebecca and Jamaica Inn. The film is set in the quiet coastal town of Bodega Bay, California, where everyday birds suddenly attack residents en masse. The escalating attacks create an oppressive atmosphere in which man and nature become embroiled in unpredictable conflict.
