6 Happy Birthday to Me

[Adam X]

(J. Lee Thompson, 1981)
Release date: 12 December 2016
Limited Dual Format Edition (UK Blu-ray premiere)

Popular high school senior Virginia Wainwright (Melissa Sue Anderson) survives a freak accident, but suffers from memory loss and traumatic blackouts. As she attempts to resume a normal life, something terrible is happening - her friends are being ruthlessly murdered one by one. But will she be the next victim or is she the killer?

Director J. Lee Thompson's classic shocker was made during the period before the horror genre drenched itself in irony and self-reflexivity, and instead revels in the effective staging of the terrifying set-pieces which drive it towards its climax.

Looks like they've updated the specs for Happy Birthday to Me on their site. Very happy to see a Hysteria Continues commentary track on there.

Haha I love that they included the much-derided alt score as a bonus
