I need help....

[Darkstar]

The voices in my head keep telling me to do stuff.

Well anyway I need help with a movie, all I remember about this film is that it had a bunch of killer kids and the main scene revolved around a birthday party and there was lots of blood. The film ended with the a child walking into his parents bedroom a la Halloween, waking his parents and then the titles come up with his parents screaming over the soundtrack.

Please tell me that this is a movie and not some repressed childhood 'incident'

There are some good meds for that, you know...

But seriously, that *might* be Bloody Birthday, written and directed by Ed Hunt of The Brain fame.  It starred Jose Ferrer and Susan Strasberg, along with the kids.  The poster/ad graphic shows a birthday cake with a hand reaching up out of it, and the fingertips are lit, like candles.  I think I still have this on tape.

None of the scenes Darkstar described are in "BB".  There is a birthday party, but no blood involved at the party, and the movie doesn't end with a boy, but with the sole killer who's a girl killing a man at a gas station.

Now, here's a dumb suggestion on my part, but could the movie be one of the "Children of the Corn" films?  I have seen exactly one of them, and I can't recall *which* one.  (I know, for a fact, it wasn't the first.)  However, it does sound like something of that nature.

Hey, beats me, I hardly remember it, as I haven't seen it since it was released, back when I was working with Ed Hunt.

...I thought "Bloody Birthday" at first, too, but after reading the rest of description, I don't think it can be it.  The sub-genre's small enough, though, that the answer should be forthcoming.

As you said on another post:

"I'd like to tell you, but I saw it a LONG time ago, and the memory fades. I didn't like it well enough to ever watch it again. That's about all I can tell you."

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks guys, Bloody Birthday did come to mind and I was going to rent it a while back to see if it was the movie I was looking for.

Dang! My copy of the movie is currently lent out (to check the ending), but this could be "Demons 2."

Sorry Andrew, but it's not Demons 2 (unless theres another Demons 2 that I dont know about, mind you theres at least a dozen Demons 3, everything from The Church to The Ogre)

Is it just me or is the scariest thing about Demons 2 is the fact that a bunch of teenagers are listening to Panic by The Smiths at a party, those crazy kids.

Definitely not Demons 2.  I thought it was Beware, Children at Play at first until the birthday stuff came up.  So really the only reason I posted was because I like Beware, Children at Play.
