Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

punishmentpark A lot of fun, a lot of kills and effectively devious in its simplicity. The main three bad kids are pretty charismatic, considering the low budget side of 'Bloody birthday'. Then, there are some pretty teen girls of the legal age for the more spicy, topless scenes, and we're getting closer to a truly fun horror film from the (in)famous '80s.The story does not make much sense, with Jupiter being blacked out by the moon when the three killer kids are born, but who really cares? The kills are fun, the cast is pretty enthusiastic and the atmosphere of yet another American smalltown is caught on screen more than well enough.Yes, if this is the sort of cult horror you seek, you can't be disappointed. 8 out of 10.

GL84 After a series of strange deaths, a teen learns her brother and his best friends are all involved in a murderous crime spree and must find a way to stop them before the spree continues.This was quite a disturbing and wholly original slasher. Perhaps more than any other film in the genre this one makes out the ploy about how evil kids are with their vindictiveness and cruelty, which is this one's main point. This one really goes to the extreme in making them seem like the coldest beings in the universe through their actions here by maliciously trapping kids inside locked refrigerators, waving guns in front of everyone around them, keeping scrapbooks of their killings, charging money to spy on their nude siblings and flat-out lying to adults and peers to keep their handiwork a secret from everyone. All of these tactics are more than enough to give them a creepy, twisted edge if it happened to be featured on adults, yet the fact that this is done on young children makes them even darker as the cold nature of their appearance and behavior makes for an incredibly fun time. It's a lot of fun when it zeros in on traditional slasher motives and scenes here by generating some fun with its rather chilling stalking scenes as the school rampage, their attempt to run-down a victim in a junkyard with a car, dealing with the sister in her bedroom and finally the chase along the streets which is quite enjoyable, along with the finale chases through the house that is really tense and matches up quite nicely to add a lot of traditional slasher-film chases. These here are enough to hold off the film's problems, the biggest of which is the sheer stupidity of everyone that basically ignores everything around them simply to get the plot going. This is either due to the lousy acting on the kids who are incapable of looking sad or grief-stricken during the funerals or the inability of the police to catch onto the spree around them which is all done to keep the plot going unnecessarily when a realistic effort would've done more investigating or more to prevent them from happening. The kills aren't that special or dynamic either, but the stupidity is the biggest factor holding this one down.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, Language and a sex scene.

Bezenby 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

FilmFatale I missed out on this bizarre little shocker when I was younger but I'm pleased that TCM recently gave it a showing. Three children are born during an eclipse, and because of the position of Saturn, they lack empathy. In the days before their tenth birthdays, they go completely nuts and start killing almost everyone in their little town. Brother/sister duo Joyce and Timmy catch on, but will they be able to stop the sadistic trio of Debbie, Curtis and Steven? Killer kid movies often run the risk of becoming ridiculous, but all the kids turn in decently creepy performances. Elizabeth Hoy's Debbie is supremely composed, while Billy Jacoby plays Curtis as a prototype nerd - albeit a nerd with a large handgun most of the time. You do have to suspend a LOT of disbelief to really enjoy "Bloody Birthday" - the kids just seem to kill willy-nilly while no one gets suspicious (except Joyce and Timmy, eventually) and then even after she knows something's up, Joyce agrees to babysit at Debbie's house. Former MTV personality and "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" singer Julie Brown has a nude scene because random nude scenes used to be the rule back in the day, but other than that, the actual on-screen action is pretty tame. Spend a little time with the birthday boys and girl and you'll probably enjoy yourself. As long as you steer clear of the cake, that is.
