lorcan-61881 Bloody Birthday is a old school horror film from the 80's and is a children horror film and one rare,good one. Bloody Birthday revolves around three kids born during a solar eclipse and were born without emotion or like something and 10 years later,they begin to kill family members and friends. Bloody Birthday is a very good original film that I saw years back and still need to rewatch. If there's a favourite child horror film for me,this would'int be best,BUT,one. Bloody Birthday is a great horror film I advise you to see if you like good slasher horror films

TheMarwood Three 10 year old kids who were born during a solar eclipse, become serial killers with no consciences because Saturn was blocked during the eclipse - um, OK, whatever gimmick works to get these kids murdering is fine with me. It's an above average slasher, which doesn't really mean much since most of the subgenre is below average, but it's competently made and feels more like a demented black comedy than a horror flick. The kids do a good job and seem to have a blast being as bad as possible, turning their neighborhood into slasher territory. There are some elements here lifted from Halloween, despite being barely anything like the Carpenter film - especially a tracking shot down a suburban street with our meek lead and her friend, who even gets a quick visit from her cop father - perhaps a misinformed producer decision to cash in on a film that's nothing like the one they're making. There's a quick blink and you miss it appearance from the American Ninja himself, the anti- charismatic Michael Dudikoff. Bloody Birthday isn't especially bloody, but this lunacy is never anything but entertaining.

Lee Eisenberg Alright! I've seen many a flick about murderous children, but Ed Hunt's "Bloody Birthday" has to be the coolest. It focuses on three children who were born during an eclipse that blocked Saturn, thereby depriving them of emotions, and so they go around killing people.There are some neat death scenes (and of course some nudity, since no self-respecting '80s slasher flick would dare skip that), but what's really good about the movie is that it shows how manipulative these children are. Not only do all three of them have cherubic faces to hide their evil deeds, but they know how to prevent anyone from finding anything out: that scene with the cake really had me going! As for the cast, it's a real treat. Playing a doctor is Cyrano de Bergerac himself, José Ferrer. Playing a teacher is Susan Strasberg (yes, the daughter of the guy who played Hyman Roth in "The Godfather Part II"); in fact, her character is named Viola Davis, which is the name of the co-star of "Doubt" and "The Help"! There's also Ellen Geer (Will Geer's daughter), Michael Dudikoff (known for action flicks), and K.C. Martel (Greg in "E.T."). Julie Brown, who has what is probably the coolest scene in the movie, is apparently a gay icon, although I'd never known about her before watching "Bloody Birthday".All in all, it's a really fun movie. Not any kind of masterpiece, but definitely a pleasure to watch. Just be careful the next time that you eat cake.

Michael O'Keefe BLOODY BIRTHDAY is a Ed Hunt project that revolves around three children who are born during a total eclipse. Not intentionally humorous, but the acting is so bad it is laughable. Curtis(Billy Jacoby), Steven(Andy Freeman)and the angelic cutie Debbie(Elizabeth Hay)by the age ten join forces and without hesitation gang up against anyone who gets in their way; and this includes their parents. Some situations are actually funny, then there are those that are plain stupid and those that are disturbingly brutal. These precocious hellions don't seem to have any real reason to kill; just for the thrill I guess. My two favorite scenes are when the birthday cake is poisoned, or thought to be poisoned. And the nudity of MTV-DJ Julie Brown playing the naughty sister. Also in the cast: Lori Lethin, Bert Kramer, Susan Strasberg, Ellen Geer, Joe Penny and Jose Ferrer. Cinematography doesn't resemble low-budget fare.
