Incredibly Strange Blog That Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Movie Reviews

AKA Creepers; Creeps; Angst. Bloody Birthday concerns three children who were born on the same day during a solar eclipse, an event that left them all without consciences. Approaching their tenth birthday, the little brats become malicious killers. They end up killing adults and kids alike, and although it's a fairly low budget cheapie, it's fun to watch. The filmmakers found lots of ways to make it possible for kids to kill and be a threat without be taken out so easily (usually involves range weapons and the element of surprise) or discovered by the cops. Kids are trapped in refrigerators in the junkyard, people are shot by the kids with guns or arrows, the kids peep on the evil girl's older sister (played by comedian Julie Brown before MTV), etc., etc. They're just rotten and sneaky and bad. This movie is certainly not for all tastes; if you don't appreciate bad taste for the shock value, then stay far away. Teenagers with little brothers or sisters should keep this away from their siblings who might see the film and get ideas.
