    Interesting oddity

    This is an interesting and fun little horror movie from the early 80's that probably had a brief run in the drive-ins I would imagine. I won't break down by ridiculous "categories" such as "suspense" or "gore" which I personally find quite hilarious, but in sum, if you like grind-house films of the era, you might enjoy this. It seesaws between very dumb and quite entertaining with a few genuine scares (such as the opening sequence) and a little splash of suspense. It has that cheap, raw 70's feel that try as they might, horror movie makers just can't correctly emulate, and scenes of such utter nonsense that would never slip by editors these days; which is a good thing. Performances are pretty good. For instance, the updated Omen suffered severely by the less than convincing devil-child performance. However, the kids here are totally fine. This is a kooky little movie and I enjoyed every minute of it.

    Quite Possibly The Perfect Movie...

    In BLOODY BIRTHDAY, three psychopathic 10 year-olds decide to murder just about everyone in sight. Even the town sheriff is on their hit list!

    Utterly preposterous, with a mean streak a mile long, there's still much mirth to be found here. This is mostly because of Timmy (K.C. Martel), the one kid they simply cannot seem to kill, no matter how hard they try! He's indestructible! This infuriates these terror tots to no end!

    This could very well be the perfect 1980's movie! Especially, since none of the adult females are able to keep their clothes on for very long at all...

    Dust this baby off! Fun 80s horror.

    In Meadowvale, California three babies are born simultaneously during a solar eclipse. Years later, the kids (Billy Jacoby, Elizabeth Hoy and Andy Freeman) turn ten and go on a violent killing spree, offing horny teens, schoolteachers, cops and others. It's a pretty sick/tasteless combo of THE BAD SEED, VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED and Friday THE 13TH, and kind of jarring to see these calculating kiddies shooting, stabbing and strangling their victims (making some look like accidents), stalking people with guns, spying on people having sex, pretending to put poison in birthday cake, keeping a scrapbook with obituary clippings and doing all kinds of other horrible things!

    Name-value stars Susan Strasberg as a stern teacher and Jose Ferrer as a doctor receive top billing for bit roles; the real star is Lori Lethin (also in THE PREY and RETURN TO HORROR HIGH) as the astrology obsessed teen who catches on. I don't know where they found the child actors at, but they're all very good. You may also want to catch this for comedienne Julie Brown's topless dance scene.

    Score: 6 out of 10

    Kids Slay The Darndest Things

    An absolute classic of 80's scare flix. This one isn't like any other as it pits pint-size, wild-eyed, psychotic youngsters with an urge to kill against all the grown-ups in town. Bud from JUST ONE OF THE GUYS (80's gold again) plays one of the killer-kids and he's paired up with one of the little girls Jake Blues tries to purchase in the BLUES BROTHERS. There is a third blond boy, but he keeps disappearing from the movie for whatever reason. The violence is hilarious at times and also surprisingly gruesome in spots. The demonic gang of smiling kids, though somehow possessed by extra-planetary means, bear little resemblance to the droid-ish Children of the Damned, who never thought to use pistols, crossbows and shovels to kill those pesky adults. Julie Brown (not Downtown Julie Brown-the other one) shows her rack, like three times, as she dances around in her bedroom. This movie is a rarity that I cannot believe I missed growing up in the 80's. This would have been my absolute favorite movie as a kid if I had seen it. Where is the sequel the ending begs for? This movie is just incredible. Seek it out at all costs.

    Collector's Dream

    Once of those rare classic 80's slashers collectors adore getting their hands on.I was instantly freaked out by the teen star Lori Lethin within 5 minutes of me going WHO THE HECK IS THAT, as collectors or DVD fanatics will do when they recognize someone. I of course had to stop the movie as I wouldn't rest until I knew where I knew her from, turns out she from the movie The Day After, that awesome 80'3 nuclear war TV movie that blew everyone's mind and sit proudly in my DVD collection. The movie itself, is great, good old fashion 80's horror with most all the ingredients required. Those kids, very well played, the girl selling peepshows to her sisters bedrooms trip shows was shockingly hilarious. I mean 10 and up to that, her own sister, whom when one of the boys asks "What ff we get caught" she retorts with "We wont' all her brains are in her bra".. I 'bout fell out...lmao Typical lower budget but the story (decent), the acting (no complaints, very well done by all), the follow through (well played and not too ridiculous) and the kills all came together for a good 7.5/10. Certainly nothing to sneeze at for all you slasher collectors

      Lori Lethin said she liked that she got to do all her own stunts. She said, "I'm kind of an outdoor gal, and also a bit of a tomboy, so the idea of running around, doing my stunts and being chased, was really fun for me."
