Happy Birthday to Me Review

Review of Happy Birthday to Me (1981) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

Scarecrow Video Psycho Challenge #30. It's Your Special Day

This has kind of a sleepy start to it but it gets more interesting as the film progresses. The kills are fun but not too crazy and the group of friends are an entertaining group to watch from the beginning. But this movie is all about its ending, which surprises even after you think you know where it's going.

The birthday setup has to be my favorite horror set design that I've seen in recent years. The lead up has more of a giallo treatment to it which adds to the mystery of it all, adding up to one extremely fun ball of wax.
