Review of Bloody Birthday

Bloody Birthday (1981) is another classic that I recently watched for free on Tubi. This 80s gem with its wonderful VHS cover art is about a group of children that decide two things are cool - seeing girls naked and killing adults. Can their family figure out what's going on before they're all dead? This movie is directed by Ed Hunt (The Brain) and stars Lori Lethin (The Day After), Melinda Cordell (Greenwich Villay Story), Julie Brown (Clueless), Joe Penny (TJ Hooker) and Jose Ferrer (Dune). The storyline for this is fun and gave me Children of the Corn vibes. The kill scenes are very good. I loved the skateboard/baseball bat setup on the police officer to start the movie. The peep hole scenes are hilarious. One annoyance I had with this movie is how nonchalant the parent were about children pointing a "replica" gun at them, but other than that, I had few complaints with this film. Well, maybe they relied on kids shooting a gun to execute their kills too many times, but it was still a fun movie. Overall this is a great 80s gem that is a must see for fans of classics from this era. I'd give is a 6.5-7/10.
