Today, this movie is pretty awful, totally predictable, and yet...still watchable. The effects are pretty dismal, the acting terrible all-around, but I still love my horror movies, and this one, I am glad I watched, even if it's terrible, drags a lot, and has an awful script on top of everything else!

Virginia is proud that she belongs to a clique. The best students at a private school. But before her 18th birthday, a grueling set of murders take place and her friends are the ones who are falling prey. Could it be her? She suffers from blackouts due to a freak accident one year earlier. We soon learn the truth behind her accident and what is going on...

" Date: 5/4/2021 Viewed: Blu-ray First Viewing Note: Today is my 30th birthday and I decided to celebrate my birthday by watching Happy Birthday to Me. Unlike Bloody Birthday (1981), I actually have seen this movie before. To be honest, I prefer Bloody Birthday over Happy Birthday to Me in my opinion.
