My Take: Awful rehash of the classic Hitchcock thriller.
"Birds II: Land's End" is no sequel, it is a remake of Hitchcock's classic that looks like a sequel because, as some viewers can see, it bears very little resemblance to the classic. It's more of a remake, with a much more boring cast. It is a TV movie after all! The photography on the birds are great, especially during the attacks. Other than that, the film is poorly acted, lacks of the original's eerie tones and the ending wasn't very good. I really don't know what happened, why did the birds fly away? A very poor redo of Hitchcock's own ending for the original film. Well, I guess we will never get an answer to that now, but maybe someone out there can come up with a better ending.
TV movie rating: * out of 5.
