Review of Happy Birthday to Me (1981) by Jessica H — 02 Sep 2008

If you love 80s slasher flicks this is one to watch. Any movie that can take sweet Mary Ingalls and turn her into a teenage girl surrounded by death is awesome. This is not a movie based on how much blood and sex can be shoved in under 2 hours.

There is a clear plotline even if it is pretty predictable now. The movie was a bit ahead of it's time. You wont cringe much if at all. The movie has some great overkill on blood squirting and interesting ways to die but never even close to the screamfests of the late 80s.

If you enjoy the typical B horror flick you might enjoy taking a few hours to watch this movie.
