Timeless message: Kids: They’re the worst. - 60
We Got This Covered
In essence, Bloody Birthday is the old horror film, The Bad Seed, multiplied by three on the crazy scale, but far less chilling. - 50
The Dissolve
Between the placid suburban setting, the dogged ordinariness of the murderers, and the lengths these homicidal tots go to, Bloody Birthday is too goofy to be scary. But it’s thick with campy dialogue and memorable scenes. - 25
TV Guide Magazine
A real bore, with the director seemingly incapable of creating suspense.
