The Birthday


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Jordan

This film is one that I will never expect anyone but me to like, but I do like it, very much. It's like putting Jerry Lewis as the protagonist of an H.P. Lovecraft story. And it IS basically a Lovecraft film, which is probably why they got Guillermo del Toro as an exec producer.

Corey Feldman is hilarious in this. He is really out there with this character. It's probably too much for some people but it cracks me up every time. This is really his film.

Things start off rather usual, there will be a birthday party and his new girlfriend is being a bitch and he's going to meet their parents. It's typical drama romantic comedy stuff. Well not entirely because Feldman is just bizarre. And then other strange things begin happening. first in the background and then more overt. Until it end up with dead bodies and a mysterious cult and the birth of an evil god.

This film never got a release anywhere but they sell dvds in Spain and Germany so if you want to see it, let me know. I love this stuff, but not for everyone. Can't wait to see his next film Agnosia.
