Happy Birthday to Me

Very Good Horror Movie!

Happy Birthday To Me is a very good horror movie. Made in 1981, this thriller of a horror movie stars Melissa Sue Anderson and Glenn Ford as the most notables. The movies starts out with a bang and doesnt quit. Great plot, Killings, Settings, Atmosphere, Direction and a very well written story line. This movie is in the vein of some Italian Horror films. What can I say?? A very good movie that needs to be released on DVD!!
