BloodyBirthday (Ed Hunt - 1981)
Three
children are born at the height of a total eclipse and naturally they turn out
to become preteen homicidal maniacs. A couple of minutes into the feature I remember
that I had seen it before, but it’s a charming little thing and I am more than
happy to revisit the terrorized suburbia.
When it
comes to horror and slashers I have a particular affection for the early
80thies when the aesthetics of the 70 still lingers on, but the cheesiness of
the 80ties is beginning to make an impact.
Viewed on a
16:9 enhanced DVD from VCI Entertainment. The cover claims the aspect ratio to
be 1.78:1. There is a British Anchor Bay release with pretty much identical
picture quality, but with the benefits of the superior PAL standard.
