This is a great movie! I like that it had mystery. It is difficult knowing who the killer is, and when it was revealed in the end I could not believe it was that person.
I saw this one in the theatre back in 1981. I heard that there was going to be a remake. I sure hope not.

Yeah, this is one of my favorite slashers from the 80's. It gets better with every viewing.

Yep it is quality allright. Innovative kills and a good story keep it going. I only wish it were gorier, for that time period I am surprised it wasn't.
It's still a good 80s slasher though.

I love it! I do agree with Chainsaw that a little more gore would have been nicer
If you have read my review in the review section then you know exactly where I stand wih this little gem.
I always had a thing for Melissa Sue Anderson. One of my all time favorite made for Tv movies is MIDNIGHT OFFERINGS in which she plays a teenage satanic witch. It was released in 81, same year as Happy Birthday To Me.
Also Tracy Bregman was another hottie. Before she went on to do years of work on The Young and The Restless, she made one of my all time favorite Women In Prison flicks called The Concrete Jungle.
That movie came out in 82, 1 year after Happy Birthday.
I recommend both flicks fo sure!

I watched this movie for the first time last night. Definitly a great film that was creative and full of mystery and the killer is not obvious as some films love to give away so quickly. Suspense is always good. It's a bit longer than most of that period as it almost runs 2 hours long. Love it love it. Even the kills are creative and the end is pretty sick but I love it

5/5 The kills are great, plot is good and has great suspense it is definitely a step above all the rest. One of my favorite 80s slashers and the poster is among the best as well.

One of my favourite movies of all time, and it has quite a climax too!
