Bloody Birthday (1981) A "Different" Birthday Slasher
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Bloody Birthday is yet another 1981 birthday classic that encompasses all the best aspects of the genre. It also dips a big toe in "evil kid" territory. My goodness this one is a real treat. Here's my review! #BloodyBirthday #Slasher

A little disconcerting the kid paying Curtis is more believable as a psychopathic killer than some adult actors are in their portrayals
Great review. Sweet Sixteen is a another great birthday slasher
That's one I've been wanting to see actually.
This is an underrated classic along with The Slumber Party Massacre. I find all of it creepy. The kids are creepy, the kills are mostly creepy, and the score especially is creepy. It is still fun and I love rewatcing it. Wish it got a sequel tho. Hopefully you can discover more 80s slasher hidden gems after this.
Freakin' loooove Slumber Party Massacre...and 80s slashers in general.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews even Friday the 13th was Jason's birthday
I love this film. My favorite killer kids film
It’s actually mine too now.
1981 was a great time for horror
Damn right. I even made a 1981 top 10 because there were so many great ones.
Such a underrated slasher, Curtis was definitely the most evil imo.
Haha yeah Curtis is brutal!
Elizabeth Hoy was the little girl with the well timed reactions at the fancy restaurant in The Blues Brothers. I love it when John Belushi says to the parents, "How much for the little girl, your daughters, your wife, sell them to me!" and Hoy gives this hilarious jolt.
found a vhs of this at a goodwill, it was quite a treat.
Damn that's a great find!!
Now it's free on Tubi🤣🤣
These kids have ice-water in their veins. Curtis, especially, gives me eerie "Mikey" or "Bad Seed" vibes. You have to admire that exceptional talent and effort in a young actor.
Ice water in their veins....hell yeah. Definitely agree with that.
My favorite killer child or children movie is LUCAS. I know, Lucas is not a horror movie but Curtis at the funeral scene in his brown suit reminds me so much of Lucas in his tux going to the prom. Great movie to review, it totally exudes the essence of early eighties slasher. Thanks for the reviews
Never seen it but it sounds good!
It's a blast!
Great review as always my friend, keep up the great work, and 6 more days until i can rejoin your Pateron. Looking forward to being back in the fold!!
I absolutely adore this movie
Hell yeah!
Good lord man this movie is something else
Lee appreciates a good, extended kiss - confirmed
This film has a set of balls on it having these kids brutally kill anyone around it's crazy I need to watch this again!
Haha yes it does!
First time viewer for you and the movie, Bloody Birthday!
I saw it this evening.
I brought it for $2.99 on iTunes.
I have never heard of it before.
Much to my surprise, I enjoyed it.
The movie was interesting.
I bet I will enjoy it back in the day.
😀😀😀
Thank you for watching!
Watched this one a coupla years back and dug it. Just watched X-ray for the first time. The 2 main kids at the start of that delightful slasher are 2 of the killer wee ones up in this crazee number!!
Yep. She’s at the beginning of X-Ray. Love this flick.
Love this movie! Very underrated. I'm glad I was introduced to it by dead meats channel.
I swear he's covered every 80s slasher haha.
Hey you post this on my actual birthday and that was one hell of a counsendce
Happy birthday Dan!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews and I like this movie to
I’m obsessed with this movie 😃
It's such a unique slasher. Love it.
Great Review of this movie i really enjoyed it. 😊
Yeah it's a really fun and unique slasher.
Classic i remember this movie
It's hard to get out of your head for sure.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews yes it is 😂😂😂
Its a very silly film but enjoyable. It was on UA-cam for a while, but was taken down. Its weird that the little girl who plays Debbie is the same girl who played young Wendy in Prom Night. I also can't believe Susan Strasberg was in this. She played the teacher. She is an incredible actress and one of my all time favourites. I would love to see you review Sweet Sixteen. She was also in that too.
That's right! I thought she looked familiar. She was also at the beginning of X-Ray (Hospital Massacre).
J still have the original pre cert vhs of this. Very cool film ☠
Hell yeah. I love finding deep cut horror vhs tapes.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Cheers Lee i still have a few from my childhood that were banned or cut ☠
I loved this movie as a kid. Still do
Absolutely.
I loved this movie I saw it in1990 and would like to see a remake!
Wish I could say I absolutely loved this movie like I do with a majority of slashers out there, but I didn't. I still enjoyed it, but I don't know if it was just because I've seen so many other slashers from 1981, that it felt more like a 70s evil children film than the 80s slasher I was expecting, or if it just felt weird because the kid actors did very well with creeping me out, but for me this movie is like "Yeah, I liked it, but I don't need to ever watch it again, at least for a few years"
I loved it actually. Just felt different than the normal 80s fare. Stakes it claim I guess. But lots of kills and nudity. Classic 80s.
Hey Lee, Chris here......the girl who played Debbie was in the movie The Blues Brothers from 1980....she was in the fancy restaurant scene with John Belushi.Timmy was on the show Growing Pains who was Kirk Camerons friend named Eddie & Curtis played the brother in the movie "Just One Of The Guys"......fun facts Lee.....thanks!!!!!
Yeah I heard about Curtis in Just One of the Guys the other day. Also, Elizabeth Hoy was in Hospital Massacre.
A crazy little 80s flick! Nice review!!
Thank you!
I absolutely loved this movie. It is a criminally underrated classic, imo. Curtis reminded me of an evil Mclovin from superbad 😁. The Graveyard kill was my favorite, and the creepiest scene in the film, imo. I'm really glad you covered this movie.
Have you ever seen the movie The Paperboy (1994)? That is a lesser known killer kid movie. It is about a 12 year old boy who becomes dangerously obsessed with a single mom and her daughter. I'd recommend this movie, if you are interested.
Thank you for another awesome video 😎😎😎😎😎
So glad you covered this! One of the best '80s slashers.
I enjoyd it quite a bit!
A birthday horror movie on my birthday. Sweet!
Happy birthday!
Shanti504 Happy Birthday 🎂
Thank you!! It was awesome 🥳
I just watched this for the first time yesterday. What a coincidence! Appreciate your hard work man!
Damn....good timing!
Liz Hoy was in The Blues Brothers
Great video buddy!
Thanks Chuck!
I have only seen this once and it was during Gory B's Birthday stream like 3 years ago on the Horror Addicts Channel. Its a very good slasher. I will have to revisit soon. Great vid Bro
Love Gory to death. She's so damn cool and has seen almost everything haha.
Yes she has lol
You’ve got to review Bonnie’s Kids!
Nice review Lee
Personally I didn’t really get into this
My biggest problem was calling it “Bloody “ Birthday & no blood
I don’t know maybe I need to rewatch & give it another try
I thought it had a fair amount of blood, but nothing too graphic for sure. But still had a blast with it.
I loved this movie when I was a kid
I just watched this movie
Last night,Now I'm grown now I
See Debbie was crazy crazy and
Blamed the dudes🤣🤣🤣
She was really crazy!
Thank you for reviewing this movie. 1981 does it again. Love creepy killer kid movies. Love the scene in the junkyard when they were driving the car as a ghost. great review keep up the great work LEE. thank you for the shout outs brother
You're welcome brother! Sorry I got it out late, but happy birthday!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 😁😀
I will be checking this one out since I think they have it on shudder. Great job as always.
Yes this is on Shudder and Tubi.
Drumdums ok great! Thanks man.
Check out...Open 24 Hours... it's a great little gem that I came across on VOD!
Wonderful
Yeah this one surprised me. I think when they put the one little guy in the fridge and left him. I was like. Man someone better come get this little guy!!
Haha those damn kids were so evil Hayley! What's scary is there are kids like this haha.
Not gonna lie, 'Bloody Birthday' was dark, realistic, and also impressive.
Agreed.
One of my favorite horror films love this review
Thank you!
Never seen this one. Gotta check it out at some point
Definite do!
Drumdums I gotta figure out where to get a copy as it ain’t as easy over here in Australia to get copy’s of these sorts of movies
In my opinion horror movies were awesome from the 1930's to the early 2000's. Yes there are some great jems in recent years, but you can't beat the classics.
Agreed.
Here we go with another movie I never seen. Have to look through my streaming services. Lol
This one is on Shudder and Tubi Kandice.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews good thing I have both
I have to see this slasher it looks good and has a unique premise with kids being killers.
It's very unique.
Pam knew! It's always bad when Saturn is in retrograde!
I never fancied this one but I’m always on the look out for more slashers I haven’t seen. Not sure about this one though, the irony is creepy kids freak me out more than killer adults haha
My cousin and I fell in love with Debbie while watching this movie. She's so innocent like and is so manipulative... She's gonna go and do things with her life, she gets away with all of her crimes and it's hilariously awesome! I want to be just like Debbie when I grow up!
Have you ever seen 1992's "Mikey"? Decent evil child movie that I recently watched on Amazon prime for the first time in a very long time.
No someone else was just mentioning that one. Might have to check it out. Thanks Tom!
I was gonna ask that too..my names Mikey so I I watched it a lot as a kid lol
Had no idea there a movie about killer kids besides Mikey, Orphan, The Good Son, the one about the kids about with toxic hands!
Don't forget The Other (1972) The Good Son stole a fair amount from it.
I love so much this film 😂😂😂
I have a crazy theory that these 3 children were Krug, Sadie and Weasel when they were little (last house 1972), and when they get older they change their identities and names 🤣🤣🤣 (sometimes I think that this trio of villains is somewhat inspired by those 3 Weasel icons craven)
(I know it still doesn't make sense cuz this movie is from 1981 and last house is from 1972 LOL, but imagine it takes place in 1950 for example hahaha).
I love that theory!
Bloody Birthday, extremely creepy Thanks Lee.
Definitely!
One of my all-time favorite slashers. Love this one.
Lee: That's not a spoiler it happens at the beginning
Lee: i like that i went in blind
Also lee: future reference i always talk spoilers when i review older movies
Me: Aw jeez lee ahh this is why we love ya bro
😂😂
Haha I never learn. :p
I saw this back in 2015 before I graduated it's an alright flick I believe I was either looking for "killer kids" horror movie or "80s slashers" but yeah it is a good film.... what's up with the M.C.2.(1990) review?
It's definitely on the list brother. I hear it's better than the first even.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews ehh don't know bout all that my horror friend the budget is bigger I'll say that but me personally prefers the first one
Remember see this when i was 15 and i gonna say i enjoy it good kills good acting and good killers this horror birthday movie i really like beside happy birthday to me , happy death day and happy brithday (2016 American flim )
Yeah so far I've loved all the birthday slashers from the 80s.
Great review. I really liked this movie. Those kids where very, very creepy and i am surprised that the actress who played the girl/leader of the killer kids isn't really known for a lot of other movies, because she played her role very well. (I believe she was in the openingscene from Hospital Massacre to)
This movie surprised the hell out of me. Really enjoyed it.
I found out about this movie thanks to Dead Meat when he did a Kill Count on this movie on his birthday (hence why he did a kill count on this movie)
Glad I finally gave it a watch. Loved it.
This movie actually had a Theatrical release. I didnt know that.
Heard about this one recently, seems twisted and I will check it out!
Yeah it's a fun one.
I'm gonna have to pick this up seems like a fun watch! Lee you suggest so many good movies I gotta make a list Haha! Good review man!
Thanks Elijah!
I got introduced to this film thanks to Dead Meat and God Damm this was a fun time
It's a blast!
sounds like a good movie.
I use to live in Pasadena and Glendale California
Sooooo jealous. I visited Pasadena back in 09 and visited the Halloween filming locations. Such a great memory.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews one time i went to see the elm street house around Hollywood California
It's been a number of years since i've seen it but The Devil Times Five from 1974 is an extremely good slasher that has callous killer kids and some inventive kills. I'd recommend you see it since you liked Bloody Birthday.
I was going to watch this review but
I have to return some video tapes.
Great review lee! I enjoyed this movie and review
Thank you Preston!
Would love to see a review for troll/troll 2 :)
Watched this for the first time tonight. Shlocky as fuck. I loved it lol
Yeah it's so original too.
Saw this movie on video with my 15 year old brother when i was 10 back in 92, a decent killer kid slasher film.
Kind of like The Good Son meets Sleepaway Camp eh?
Johnlindsey289 Agreed! Love The Good Son.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews
And those kids are worse than Henry eh?
I really don't like Bloody Birthday. I watched in on Shutter back in the spring of this year and I found the kids to be brats and not creepy at all. And how in the world can those little kids pick up all those dead bodies without help from adults? I do like poster art for Bloody Birthday, just not Bloody Birthday. And I do like birthday slashers like Happy Birthday to Me and Madhouse. I find those to be some of my favorite slashers of all time.
It shows them dragging one of the dead bodies in the last act. They covered that track. Sure they could have went darker with the children visually, which would have made it perfect. But still loved it.
The only kid killer flick I’ve seen is Mikey which was decent. It’s a genre that probably had shock value back in the day but are very tame by today’s standards
Hmm I haven't heard of that one. Love killer kid flicks.
Drumdums 1992 film starring Brian Bonsall, worth checking out if you can find it. The kid really plays evil well!
I heard a lady that I seewho is older than me and she likes the movie and had a crush on Curtis and it was randomly occurred
I've watched Dead meat kill count for this movie back on his birthday in May.
Nice!
this is an interesting one.
Oh definitely.
Teen in the '80s downtown Julie Brown and I remember she used to host headbanger ball that was back in the day when MTV played music videos and I have to say now at a man at the age of 50 I have not seen MTV and several years the last time I saw MTV was the Jersey shore Jersey housewives something.. and Dum dums versus movie that I think John Goodman was in it called popcorn and I remember that movie was it was kind of like one of those things where the seats would shock you and it had like some kind of different sound system and smell a vision and it was in 3D like very immersive but I always found it creepy when there's like these old films that are dealing with kind of provocative directors and I remember that was a sequence that creeped me out and that popcorn movie where I remember they described it this person made these movies that would just show people picking their nose and stuff and in a way it's kind of reminiscent of Rob zombie's House of thousand corpses the best part about that movie that I was so looking forward to back in the day was Captain spaulding's little haunted house dark Ride but anyway you do a great job on your channel and I don't understand what's going on with the UA-cam algorithm that I don't get would you release stuff until like a day or two later so just a heads up on that maybe reach out to the higher ups or whatever and what do you think of The exorcist reboot remake that is I guess happening and if you ever read the book I never read the book I remember my grandmother had the book but I did listen to the audiobook of my new to work and stuff and there were things in the movie that they couldn't quite do at that time in 73 however I think now with CGI if it's done well would be very effective your thoughts on that peace out be safe and well love your content and channel
Thanks Sean. I remember both Julie Browns back in the day. They had their own flavor, which was cool.
Julie Brown was lights out funny as Buffy - the Weather Girl - in the two episodes of Newhart that she was in. She’s kind of hot in this movie; seen it twice on TCM when would more regularly play lots of ‘70s/early ‘80s horror films at 1 AM or 3 AM.
Haha she's VERY hot in this movie.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews lol, after watching the “scene” again (with the Van Halen poster in the background) I’m enthusiastically upgrading “kind of” to VERY hot.
Love your videos! You’ve captured that nostalgia of going to the video stores in the early to mid ‘80s as a kid, and always going to the horror section to look at the cover art, and the pics on the back. Some I’d seen of course, and you’ve reviewed a number of the ones that I never did see back in the day. Great job!
Bro Downtown Julie Brown and Uptown Julie Brown
Hell yeah!
The little girl told her mom that the two boys did the killings not her. That's why the mom is protecting her daughter so mom doesn't know that her little girl is a killer.
DORSIA!!!😂😂😂❤❤
Ever see The Children from 1980 with a score by Friday the 13th composer Harry Manfredini?
@@huntercoleman460 No but that sounds great.
Curtis I believe may have been in tremors
Also i recommend the movie bones by snoop Dogg saw it on my recommendation feed
DRUMDUMS JEEPERS CREEPERS 4 IS COMING OUT 😃
I am a fun of slasher horror movies,having said that,I regret seeing this one.
Really? I loved this one.
Do you think that what happens with michael myers he was born on the right days to be born with out emotions maybe he watched pkids a lot so he could try to mimic emotions or the basic emotions but he still doesn't understand them I've seen so many videos with people saying he killed Judith cause she didn't take him trick r treating or she's messing around with her boyfriend i was watching real crime thing the other day and the dude loved his mom had no problem with her he felt a kind of love for her but still killed her they kept asking why did they have argument no did he have her no no Reason just thought about it a lot and finally did it probably like michael heard that in one video where they said who knows how long he thought about and the planning he did. Did he know it was going to be o halloween or his birthday who knows
I recently watched an episode of ‘Eight is Enough’, and the little blond girl played Nicolas’ (Adam Rich) girlfriend, and somehow seemed just as evil as that character as she had in this movie. She might have outdone Nellie Olson as far as I’m concerned.
Haha evil child must've been her calling!
Ugh... Damn kids! It looks like an interesting slasher, but it might have been better if it were left a mystery until the end, which kids it was. So instead doing it like the first “Friday the 13th” with just a hand, walking legs, or a shadow on the wall. “Bay of Blood/Twitch of the Death Nerve” did the same thing until the reveal. Of course “Children of the Corn” took it all the way up to eleven. And I believe “Hostel” had a killer kids scene where if you didn’t have gum for them, they would bash your head in. “The Good Sun” is another one I need to watch.
I actually like that they didn't make it a whodoneit. There are so many of those out there, that it's kind of refreshing.
Drumdums agreed. I just feel like the absence of a face is scarier when it’s a hand with a weapon. Even like Cropsey in “The Burning” in the raft scene where it’s just a silhouette looming overhead with hedge shears. That’s just what I find chilling.
Love this movie. Debbie is creepy AF!!! The way she killed her dad and her sister and didn’t even blink??? Her mom was next if she didn’t need a getaway driver. Curtis was just evil.
Yes she is!
And she the blame on them two boys,But again she was always
Blaming One or the other.
The classic slasher film 'Bloody Birthday' turned 40 since last April.
Three preadolescent psychos.
Both 10-year old boys Curtis and Steven defeated, charged for several murders, but 10 year old Debbie escaped with her loving mother who doesn't her "precious little girl" was a psychopath just like her 2 friends, and then secretly killed the last victim before the end of the movie.
All eight victims: Four males, and four females.
Impressive, gender equality. LOL
So glad I finally gave this one a watch.
I saw it when I was 12 and it was a mess up horror movie and the kids are evil and screwed up. 😀👍🎂
Agreed!
eh it was ok, watch new world's the children that i thought was pretty great too a bit slow but 80s horror.
I dug the hell out of it honestly.
"STEP IT UP STEVEN!" If you know you know...DM
Timmy got the poison slice 🍰🎂🤢
Haha yes he did.
