Happy Birthday to Me | Year: 1981 Directed: - J. Lee Thompson One of my all time Favorite Horror Films I previously reviewed this film, below where it says Caroline, I can't figure out how to add the first six reviews that I wrote last year to my current page, but hopefully this review will clear things up. All I can say about "Happy Birthday To Me" is that it is an often imitated great flick. The reviewer who says that Scream ripped it off is dead on. I was also reminded of HBTM, when I saw the Scream series. Anyway, this film is so great, it really keeps you guessing. And watch out for that skewer scene-yikes! The ending is without a doubt one of the best I have ever seen in any movie, horror or otherwise. If you haven't seen it yet, you must. I managed to buy it on Ebay for less than the out of print price. Very good horror film entry Others put this film down comparing it to other less than imaginative horror films, but that is not the case at all. This is a film head and shoulders above the rest of the early 80's slasher films.Actually one of the best.The murderer in this movie is particularly vicious and cruel (that's what makes it way cool)obviously taking delight with each murder. (Notice the smile on the murderers face after one murder in particular?)Both funny and engrossing. Yes I agree with other reviews, the murders, at least some of them are imaginative , as well as clever.I liked the psychological bent of the film. A worthwhile way to spend an evening of video viewing. Give it a try. Highly Underrated Slasher 5 out 5 stars when it comes to slashers! Clever plot twists, inventive murder scenes, and a great build up to the ending. Plus: Melissa Sue Anderson is great as our lead character, Ginny. Worth a watch!
