Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
leojankov Neither good nor bad. Amazing acting, but completely unrealistic ending.
atinder I had seven this once before , years ago but I just could not remember much from it , only remember one thing.This was fun slasher movie, I really enjoyed it There some nice dark humour added to mix with some one liners I really liked how the kills played out.I liked the plot came to end, I really loved turns and twist in the movie You never see it coming at all A twist that actually worked well.The acting was decent 7 out of 10
Raul Faust "Happy Birthday to Me" has caught my interest since I saw it being mentioned in 1996's "Scream", and albeit it happened in almost a year ago, I gave it a chance only yesterday. In my opinion, this movie starts off with a promising story, even for those who are used with this kind of horror. There are many scenes that reminded me of 1981's "My Bloody Valentine", and that made me believe that horror movies weren't that creative back that decade-- as if they were creative nowadays. Directing and acting aren't anything better than average, so it feels hard to be scared in the tense moments that filmmakers tried to create. If anything, it happens only due to the exaggeratedly loud soundtrack screaming at our ears in several scenes. One big complaint of mine is the excess of characters introduced from the get go; I found it hard to follow who-is-who, since there are too many names and faces. The plot is good, I'm not denying that, but the outcome, although being surprising and somehow original, feels over-the-top to me; I mean, nobody would do such things only to get "revenge". Thumbs up to the working out death, which felt really sadistic and painful-- isn't that what we usually expect from scary movies? All in all, the movie's achievement would be bigger if a better story was written, or if a fast-paced plot helped it flow.
AaronCapenBanner J. Lee Thompson directs this slasher film about a young woman named Virginia Wrainwright (Melissa Sue Anderson) about to celebrate her 18th birthday, and join an exclusive clique when her new friends are brutally and mysteriously murdered. Can Virginia(who needs brain surgery) be the murderess, or is someone else behind it, and why?Perfectly awful film is just typically violent and gratuitous trash, poorly plotted, and without any suspense or point, and goes on far too long(nearly 2 hours!) A shameful waste of classic film actor Glenn Ford.This is one birthday present left unopened...
