Review of Happy Birthday to Me (1981) by Johnny T — 18 Jan 2013

One of those amazing video boxes that freaked me out as a kid and left an impression. By the time I would rent a vhs like that, videostores would get rid of these gems for whatever reason. A standard slasher movie that boasts 6 bizarre deaths is something to check out and while the deaths aren't over the top, the shishkabob, motorcycle and weight lifting ones were certainly cool and effective.

Decent suspense mixed in with a few campy moments, Happy Birthday to Me deserves to be checked out and is a classic in the realm of My Bloody Valentine or to a lesser extent April Fool's Day. Features a twist ending of course and that is part of the fun.
