Review of Happy Birthday to Me (1981) by Paul J — 28 Oct 2011

I suppose this is slightly better than some of the pathetic slasher movies out there. It doesn't rely on cheap effect and the story has a few extra layers. Plus, the direction is fairly solid. That said, I was quite bored.

Simply put, I felt there just wasn't enough horror. The barbell scene was one of the only great deaths. The rest trotted along at a snail's pace. To add to that. for a standard horror flick, a running time at nearly two hour is far too long!
