Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: The many, many death scenes. Happy Birthday to Me, works decidedly very well as a mystery film and slasher. Not knowing, who the killer is right off the bat. Melissa Sue Anderson. The twist ending, which is still effective even years later. It’s a very under appreciated as a horror movie."

"29.4. Blu-ray J. Lee Thompsonin veikeä slasher-muunnos tekee kaikkensa lyödessään jo muodustuneita ja jälkikäteen katsottuna myöhempiä kliseitä ihan vaan lekkeriksi. Murhaajan arvuuttelu jos menee kieli poskessa, niin lopun aivan naurettavalle twistailulle onkin hankalampi löytää sanoja. Teknisesti hyvin pätevä, joten ei se koko elokuva mikään laiska vitsi ollut tekijöilleen. Kuolintavoissa on myös asianmukaisen korkea taso."
