When the likes of Stephen King refer to a work as one of the greatest horror stories of the twentieth century, that's pretty high praise. And that's how King referred to Robert E. Howard's 'Pigeons from Hell'. 'Pigeons' has been adapted for television before- specifically, for Boris Karloff's 'Thriller', an episode that remains one of the high points of television horror. This adaptation doesn't quite reach that high, but it is a quality version nonetheless- and actually sticks closer to the original story than the 'Thriller', which is a good thing given how much more effective the original ending was. Solid cast headed up by Scott Henry, who sounds like a younger Sam Elliott.
