The Birds II: Land’s End
Actually, THIS is what it sounds like when doves cry
The Birds Retrospective Episode 2
A grieving nuclear family experiences Hitchcockian fowl play while rebuilding their nest on Land’s End in the 1994 cable TV movie The Bird’s II. Can shopkeeper and original star Tippi Hedren explain why winged creatures from all over the world are flying to the peaceful island and attacking locals, like photographer James Naughton (Cat’s Eye) and crusty lighthouseman Jan Rubes (Witness)? And how bad is this “Dangertainment” for director Rick Rosenthal to remove his name from the credits (but keep it on Halloween Resurrection)? Donate now!
