Happy Birthday to Me (1981)

People are voting emotionally.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Neither good nor bad. Amazing acting, but completely unrealistic ending.

Veteran director J. Lee Thompson was unusually fond of stepping into the gutter once in a while, so this gory slasher-flick wasn't just a case of an esteemed filmmaker cashing a paycheck. Thompson gets good work from top-billed Melissa Sue Anderson as a traumatized teen who may or may not be responsible for the elaborate slayings of several of her classmates at an elite academy--but the picture goes on and on for a seat-numbing 110 minutes, and one good performance isn't enough to carry the load. The screenplay by John Saxton, Peter Jobin and Timothy Bond, from Saxton's original story, appears to have been worked over many times by too many writers, and the whole bloody mess collapses under the weight of throat slashings, false scares, brain surgery and a double-twist ending that makes no sense. Glenn Ford's obtuse role as Anderson's doctor is also a puzzler--but no matter, he's trashed right along with most of the cast. Canadian-made thriller has very few thrills, however cinematographer Miklos Lente gives the final scenes an eerie sheen and Thompson stages a suspenseful game of chicken near the beginning. *1/2 from ****

Well to start off I'd like to say that I enjoyed every second of the movie and I recommend it to anyone who gets a chance to see it. First thing I have to say is that the murders were not that bloody as I thought they would be but I still enjoyed. I hate some things in the film such as: *SPOILERS* Amelia standing in the rain with no explanation what so ever. Did she get killed? Nobody knows. It doesn't really make sense for Ann to be the killer because she couldn't have done it on the night Bernadette died. She was already at the ''Second Home'' of the Top 10. Ginny is the one who came the last and I guess she was the one who killed her. Don't get me wrong, I love the ending but that's the only thing that bugs me.

This 1981 horror film stars Melissa Sue Anderson, Glenn Ford, Lawrence Dane, Sharon Acker and Tracey Bregman. Anderson (Little House on the Prairie) plays Virginia Wainright who is about to celebrate her birthday. Four years ago, she was in a car accident with her mother, Estelle (Acker) and had to have surgery on her head. Soon, she starts having flashbacks of both while a mysterious killer starts slaughtering her friends. Virginia starts getting confused and begins to wonder if she's behind the killings or not. Dane plays her father, Hal, the late, Ford (Superman) plays Virginia's doctor, David Faraday and Bregman (The Young & The Restless) plays Virginia's best friend, Ann Thomerson. This isn't a bad slasher flick with a decent cast, gruesome killings and a clever ending. You should give this a try if you're a fan of the genre.
