I am a huge fan of cult movies. There’s something awesome about a group of people in black robes worshipping something evil. In ALISON’S BIRTHDAY, we have a very unique horror movie about a crazed cult with an evil agenda.
Alison (Joanne Samuel) had quite the experience when she was in her early teens. While she and her friend were playing with a Ouija board, the other side contacted her and warned her about her 19th birthday. When she turns 19, her aunt and uncle invite her to their home for a big celebration. When she brings her boyfriend, Peter (Lou Brown), things get complicated. Uncle Dean (John Bluthal) lays down the law and tells him to get lost, but he refuses and he soon comes face to face with an evil group. Nothing is going to interfere with this cult’s agenda.
Things get heated and when Allison attempts to leave, she realizes that she is trapped and that there is something evil going on. Peter, after a few narrow escapes from the group, has one final attempt to save his girlfriend. A secret location like Stonehenge is the meeting spot where the evil will be summoned and Allison’s life will be forever changed if Peter cannot stop it.
This film really delivers when it comes to visuals. There was great attention to detail and a focus on delivering a quality film. From the cast, to the script, to the cinematography, ALISON’S BIRTHDAY covers everything incredibly well.
The ending of this film is great. It’s one of those outstanding horror film “the bad guys win” endings, wrapping it up in a great way. ALISON’S BIRTHDAY is a great film with some twists and an ominous feeling throughout. There are moments that are terrifying and it just keeps picking up the pace to the finale. It is a great cult film that stands alone. It is very unique and creepy. I highly recommend it.
Rating: 8/10
