Movie Reviews of Bloody Birthday
Movie Review: interesting little horror flick
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the tragic tale of three children, all born during a solar eclipse. Unfortunatly, saturn is blocked during the eclipse. Saturn, as we all know is responsible for one's moral conscience. What does this mean for our three solar babies? Well, with a title like Bloody Birthday, its not to hard to figure out. Before their 10th birthday, the kids decide to start killing some folks. The town goes in a frenzy as they try to figure out who is killing their citizens. Overall, this picture looks good considering its age. The DVD doesn't look much different than the vhs. The acting is pretty decent for this type of film with the ringleader of the boys, 'Kurtis' standing out. Mind you, i kind of got tired of kurtis trying over and over to kill the neighbours. Do the job already or move on to someone else! Your bumbling and fumbling lessenned the fear factor considerably! oh well. A solid, if not spectacular disk.
Movie Review: Kids Gone Wild

After watching Bloody Birthday I was confused why Turner Classic Movie channel thought this film was worthy of a late Friday night viewing. It kind of The Bad Seed times three, but made cheaper than a Roger Corman movie. These kids were no more blood thirsty than what you would find at your local young Republican meeting. The only moment the film delivered even the slightest amount of a chill is when the film's heroine sharpens hedge shears on bench grinder without wearing safety glasses. Not that the whole film was a bore, there was Julie Brown in her prime performing an entertaining striptease. Which helps explains why some of the Amazon reviewers awarded the film five stars.Movie Review: Bland

I purchased this DVD based on the reviews. I am a fan of 80's horror, so I thought this would be a good movie to put in my collection, wrong! It was quite boring, and it was not made as well as say the Friday The 13th series. It has that grainy look, the cheesy music, poor acting and the it's overall a slow movie. Not impressed, it's not scary and it's not funny, it's stupid.Movie Review: 0 STARS: Mindless GARBAGE!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Admittedly, I was expecting something else when I started watching "Bloody Birthday", but this is a real stinker of a movie folks! One can't help but see the parallels with this movie and other children killer flicks like "Village of the Damned" and "Children of the Damned", both of which I did not care for, but the evil children concept is what these movies are all about...sorry, this kind of film just doesn't do it for me. Basically, "Bloody Birthday" is about three children who are all born on the same day when there is an eclipse. Somehow, this makes them evil and they like to kill people in a rather unconvincing albeit sometimes brutal fashion. Beyond that, it's just a low-grade slasher flick really without much in the way of death scenes or plot development. I see many reviewers talking about 80s cheese and slashers in general, but there is a lot more interesting movies from this time period than this garbage called "Bloody Birthday". I guess I would rather watch a slasher movie about a killer with some prowess as a villain instead of some 3rd graders beating people with a baseball bat. For my money, this movie is garbage, and I'd say skip it unless you like seeing evil children inexplicably killing a bunch of people in a rather unconvincing and unrealistic fashion. To me, the only really good movie about an evil child is the original classic, "The Omen"...now, that's scary, and it's a great story too!! "Bloody Birthday", eh, not so much.Movie Review: Boring -- NOT a horror film
Summary: 1 Stars
How is this a horror film? Some evil kids kill people. That could be suspense or crime drama, but not necessarily horror.
There's no gore. No enigmatic super-psycho, like Michael Myers. We see the kids from the start, and they're not too impressive. They're bland in their demeanor. Uninteresting.
The film is slow-moving. One kid locks another in a refrigerator. He later shoots a teacher. It's a surprisingly dull movie for such events. I'm not sure why, but it bored me.
The DVD says widescreen, but I'm not sure. It looks just barely widescreen, in that there's a thin black line along the top and bottom of the screen. It looks as if someone cropped a full screen image to create a bogus widescreen look. Maybe not, but maybe yes.
