Birds of Passage

Monstrous mysteries emerge in the second season of Lars Von Trier's scary show. Dr. Helmer is back from Haiti with his zombie-fying serum, Mrs. Drusse has a new spiritual mystery to solve, and Judith has just given birth to a deformed baby with a fully formed adult head and a rapidly growing body! After the first season's success, von Trier took a more playful approach to this season, imbuing it with more absurdist humor than the previous season. But scary sights still abound, including horror icon Udo Kier's disturbing portrayal of the grotesque ghost-baby.
