Monster of the Day #3079

Yesterday I suggested giving The Bees a watch. I thought another killer animal film would be good for a weekend double bill. So how about Beaks, with Christopher Atkins working that Blue Lagoon heat. You can find it on YouTube by searching under Beaks 1987. I tried to think of a pithy way to link Bees and Beaks as a pair, but I couldn’t think of one. Bees and birds don’t exactly go together, I guess.

  • Now this one I’ve never heard of. Presumably it takes everything The Birds got right and screws it up?

    I’d not heard of it either, but it might get few things right THE BIRDS didn’t. I imagine it might be shorter and hit the marks faster. THE BIRDS has a really strong second half, but let’s face it, getting there can be a chore.

    I remember a blurb about it in a video guide I had as a lad. I didn’t think about it again until RLM had it on one of their “Best of the Worst” episodes. I’m a bit leery because the director has shown absolutely no issue with murdering the hell out of every animal he can in his movies. That being said, while there were obviously a lot of birds tied to things and people and being tossed at actors, the RLM guys didn’t mention any birds being outright killed, so maybe I’ll give it a look someday.

    I don’t think I’ve ever watchedThe Birds beginning to end. Usually I only tune into it halfway through, just like you said.

    The picture above may terrify some, but to a man who just saw some artist’s rendition of Wonder Woman as a bosomy Gungan it ain’t nothin. “Meesa love Kal-el long time!” shudder

    I haven’t seen it, but I’m guessing it must be a Jaws rip off too, following in the tradition of naming the movie after the killer animal’s main weapons…Jaws…Claws…Tentacles…and now prepare for the horror of…BEAKS!
