i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Absolutely amazing

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

BLOODY BIRTHDAY is a pretty decent entry in the 'killer kids' genre of filmmaking that has existed ever since THE BAD SEED came out in the 1950s. This one has a trio of kids born during an eclipse, which of course means that they turn out to be murderous little brats who kill off anyone they can get their hands on. This is a surprisingly popular sub-genre of films including such entries as THE CHILDREN OF RAVENSBACK, THE GOOD SON, and MIKEY, and BLOODY BIRTHDAY is a solid addition to it. The kill scenes are well directed as is the movie as a whole and the performances pretty decent. It's not the most gruesome film out there but the deaths have imaginative flourishes designed to make you cringe; there's plenty of nudity too for exploitation fans.

Review is mostly nostalgia, but I LOVEd horror movies as a young kid and this is one of the earlier ones I saw. So, really a list of my old-time faves and not a legit review--I know more than anyone the danger of nostalgia and how bad some of these are, but hey. In no particular order and omitting the obvious franchises like Freddie and Jason: -Happy Birthday to Me (hello blind Mary from little house 🏡 on the prairie) -Alice Sweet Alice (hello little Brooke shields) -Blood Birthday -He knows you're alone (head in the fish tank, Tom Hanks, scary movie theater bathroom) -Bloody birthday -Mother's Day -April fools day (Deborah foreman and Clayton rohner version aka the original one) -dolls -troll (questionable in the horror category, enjoyed it in elementary school, also apparently remade. Sort of a creepy Batteries Not Included. Because, trolls. -The Kiss ((or maybe I just loved Meredith Salinger in dream a little dream. Also, escalators scare me.) -Children of the Corn,Linda Hamilton edition. -Sleepaway Camp 1 and 2 -Cutting Class (latecomer. Cheesy. But young Brad P and Donovan Leitch. And Shannen Dougherty-Esque Jill Scholen with her terrific raspy voice)Probably more but phone typing sucks...all great movies for some reasons.

Three children are born during an eclipse, which somehow, ten years later, causes them to go haywire and start murdering locals. They strangle a girl and brain her boyfriend with a spade before burying them. A sheriff (one of the kid's father) gets knocked about with a baseball bat. Next up is little Timmy, who goes to school with the trio - he gets locked in a fridge and left to suffocate.Which is quite a suspenseful scene. Luckily, Timmy manages to escape and it's down to his sister and himself to try and convince the town that these kids have gone Michael Myers on everyone. Problem is - can folks be convinced that three ten year olds have turned serial killer. And can they stay alive long enough to tell anyone.The sight of kids shooting, strangling and such like is quite unnerving at first, and although this film starts off quite strong, I felt it lost it's way towards the end when it started pulling its punches. That said, Bloody Birthday was a film that passed me by years ago and I'm glad I've watched it now. The scene with the fridge and the kids trying to run down Timmy's sister were done well, and there's an arrow in the eye bit for folks that like that. More nudity than I expected too, so nothing to complain about there I guess.No classic (at least to me), but still worth tracking down to see a different take on the slasher film. As far as I could see there wasn't any reason for the kids going ballistic, but then I'm not one for paying attent

Alright! I've seen many a flick about murderous children, but Ed Hunt's "Bloody Birthday" has to be the coolest. It focuses on three children who were born during an eclipse that blocked Saturn, thereby depriving them of emotions, and so they go around killing people.There are some neat death scenes (and of course some nudity, since no self-respecting '80s slasher flick would dare skip that), but what's really good about the movie is that it shows how manipulative these children are. Not only do all three of them have cherubic faces to hide their evil deeds, but they know how to prevent anyone from finding anything out: that scene with the cake really had me going! As for the cast, it's a real treat. Playing a doctor is Cyrano de Bergerac himself, José Ferrer. Playing a teacher is Susan Strasberg (yes, the daughter of the guy who played Hyman Roth in "The Godfather Part II"); in fact, her character is named Viola Davis, which is the name of the co-star of "Doubt" and "The Help"! There's also Ellen Geer (Will Geer's daughter), Michael Dudikoff (known for action flicks), and K.C. Martel (Greg in "E.T."). Julie Brown, who has what is probably the coolest scene in the movie, is apparently a gay icon, although I'd never known about her before watching "Bloody Birthday".All in all, it's a really fun movie. Not any kind of masterpiece, but definitely a pleasure to watch. Just be careful the next time that you eat cake.
