Birds

A young and beautiful Melanie Daniels meets Mitch Brenner by chance in a bird shop. She acts as if she works there in a bid to get to know him. She comes to a realistion that he is looking to purchase birds for his much younger sister. He knows all along that she is bluffing and is intrigued by her actions. When he leaves to visit his mother for the weekend, Melanie goes on a quest to find him and takes some lovebirds with her for his little sister. When she arrives we begin to see a romance blossom between the two of them, as she gets to know his mother and sister she also meets his ex girlfriend, a school teacher who points her in his direction.
Things begin to get strange as all types of birds start to attack, first individuals are left scarred, then the birds arrive in masses attacking large groups of people. An attack is made on Mitch's sisters parts, her school, inside his house and just all over the town in general. People begin to look to Melanie as a scapegoat because the attacks only started when she arrived. The film is fast paced with lots of quick cuts in parts that involve hightened action, to make the viewer feel uncomfortable, but at the same time drawn in.
