Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting Bloody Birthday is an open invitation to revel in three of the most mean-spirited children in horror. Rated: 3/5 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Alan Jones Starburst Inoffensive, rather inconsistent but watchable all the the same. Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See "Bloody Birthday" isn't a normal 'creepy kids' horror movie, where the murderous children are pasty and blank-faced. No, this trio of pint-sized psychopaths plots out their crimes, takes the time to set the stage, and cover their tracks. Rated: B Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Donnie Lopez Black Girl Nerds It's dazzling the way the film cleverly portrays childlike innocence to draw viewers into a false state of security, while then, when they least expect it, revealing the characters' lack of conscience. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 2, 2019 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Doesn't concoct an elaborate back story or history of family dysfunction to justify or motivate the kiddie killing spree that is its reason for being. The three bad seeds here were simply born under a bad sign, as Albert King might have said. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A time-waster tasteless horror flick, with no redeeming social values. Rated: C- Jul 25, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Edward P It was mediocre. Just a cheesy slasher with kids as the killers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review sean s Campy and poorly acted horror movie from 1981. I am sure that this movie was a bomb when it came out, or I would have seen it. Basically, three psycho kids go on a murdering rampage. It is kind of funny in a way, because the kids look so innocent and incapable of murder. Plus, they are very inventive and mechanically inclined for middle grade school children. Julie Brown before her MTV days does strut around nude in this one, but I don't know if that makes up for having to sit through this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst horror movie ever made and the deaths are very comedic and stilling 1978 Halloween scene on bloody birthday and spoiler alert there's no sequel. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/22 Full Review scott g Awful film in every way. It has bad characters, deaths and the film's poster is misleading. While it is cool looking, but it is for a cannibal film and there is no cannibalism in the entire movie. The piece of crap leaves itself open for a sequel. It's only been forty years so when are they planning on making it? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review ryan s 3.5/5. A solid slasher movie with some excellent killers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Ridiculous and not at all scary. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
