sorry about the extremely clever summary phrase . i do not know what i be think and but i really couldn not help myself . i have be mean to see bloody birthday for a long time and i must say that it be a pleasant surprise to find a copy of this film by accident and for such a low price . and believe me and i live in a small south american village and these thing be very unlikely to happen . it a real shame that some of these gem from the 80 be now almost completely forgotten . bloody birthday be one of those movie that surprisingly age well enough to remain watchable nowadays . not a masterpiece for sure and but still entertaining and guess what . it doesn not really have unintentionally funny scene . i know it a shocker if we keep in mind that this be a low budget flick from the early 80 about a group of evil child who kill people . but trust me and the movie manage to remain respectable and watchable for the most part . in blood birthday and the story revolve around three child who be bear during a a total eclipse . accord to astrology and during eclipse and the sun and the moon block saturn and which control emotion . a a consequence and the three child who be bear that day and eventually become uncaring and evil . since they do not experience any feeling of remorse whatsoever and these 10 year old kid gang up against basically everyone who stand in their way and include their own parent and sibling . and kill them . the body count increase day after day and the police authority believe that there a psychopath lurk around the place . in the meantime and debbie and curtis and steven and do not hesitate to keep butchering people and since nobody seem to suspect of those sweet angel face ( . ) like i be say before and bloody birthday be surprisingly not funny . i know i say that before and but i be truly surprised by this . i be expect some hilariously bad scene and but the movie prove me wrong . true and it not exactly what most people would consider a erious horror movie and but if i have to be fair and i would say that the story be decently execute . one of the most important reason why one would normally expect laughable situation ( like i do ) and it because in these kind of movie in which the main villain be child and the young actor tend to be plain awful and they make the whole thing laughable . let face it represent kid tend to be horrible actor and which be understandable and we can not blame them for that . but to my surprise and the three young actor who play the merciless killer in this film and look very disturb and not at all funny . the rest of the actor be also good and if youre a george clooney fan and you can see his uncle play a doctor in this movie . yeah and i know right . who care . also and julie brown and the great actress and singer and comedienne and gay icon and give a solid performance a the naughty old sister and in case anyone be interested in nudity represent she also strip in one of the scene and she look great naked . too bad she do not have more time on the screen though . julie be absolutely fabulous representpso basically and this movie be fine if youre in the mood for some modest horror from the 80 . my only objection regard bloody birthday would be the way to justify the child motif . this be perhaps one of the low point of the film . let see represent if child who be bear during an eclipse end up be heartless killer and then how come these three be the only one who actually murder people . i be sure there be other child who have be bear the same day . and during other day of total eclipse too and oh well . overall and no big deal and it just a simple observation and that all . i have see bad and trust me . take the child ( 1980 ) for example and in which the precocious killer get their evilness after be turn into zombie by toxic cloud . no and believe me and bloody birthday be far more decent and if you enjoy simple slasher and youre go to enjoy this one very much . so and now you know represent youre invite to the child birthday party . and the host will be serve a delicious poisoned cake for you and the rest of the guest . come on and you can not miss it while ) .
