Bloody Birthday

Sometimes it's not smart to judge a book (or a DVD) by it's cover! I just finished a movie that I assumed was a slasher flick, judging from the DVD cover, and found out that sometimes you can't do that! The movie is Bloody Birthday and, while it's not a slasher movie, it's not too bad.



The story here is pretty strange. On the night of a full eclipse three babies are born at around the same time. Years later, when they're all 10 years old, it appears that they're not normal...and they're not. You see, because of some strange astrological thing where the moon blocked Saturn during their births, the trio was born without feelings, so they can do whatever they want without feeling bad about it. And, what do they want to do? That's right, kill anyone who gets between them and what they want! And then it becomes just killing for fun. This movie, while not a slasher movie, isn't too bad. Anytime you have weird little kids doing evil things, it's a bit creepy to start with, but then the child actors are this good, it makes it just that much better!

I'm giving Bloody Birthday three out of four cigars,

and it only lost the extra cigar because I had my feeling hurt by the misleading cover! So, until next time, when I'll talk more about my feelings and my hopes and my dreams...you know, generally become a woman...until then, remember that the best movies are bad movies.
