Creepy Spooky Month continues as we revisit that most terrifying of horror subgenres: the airborne threat of malevolent birds! OK, maybe it's not THE most terrifying horror trope, but that won't stop us watching films promising such dubious delights. Ted Bennett is in the house to check out the relatively yet-to-be-discovered Shaw Brothers gem that is Bloody Parrot (1981), directed by Hua Shan, and the epically derided made-for-TV sequel to Hitchcock's classic (and recently covered by us) work of avian existentialism, The Birds II: Land's End (1994), directed by Alan Smithee (otherwise known as, in this case at least, Rick Rosenthal) - that's right, a film so hated that even the director of Halloween: Resurrection saw fit to remove his name from it.

We don't think these films are really spoilable so we don't bother with Spoiler Territory this week!
