Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

loomis78-815-989034 Alison (Samuel) is warned by her dead father to avoid her 19th Birthday. Her Aunt and Uncle are part of an ancient cult and as an offering; Alison is to be possessed by an old witch on her birthday. This boring Australian film fails to supply any chills, and worst yet any deaths. The filmmakers choose to make this a mystery and have the audience trying to figure out why this is all happening. It takes a ridiculously long time to unfold into a climax that isn't scary at all. The possession angle should have supplied some minor chills, but this film can't even muster that. The Direction and acting his very bland which matches this dull film.

r f One of the best I've seen from the Occult genre of the 70s. Copyright year is 1979, so its not a 80s flick. Reminds me of movies on the CBS Late Night movie I use to enjoy watching when I was a in my late single digits to my early teens. When, as we kids called it, the midnight hour approached, the witching hour, we all knew 'scary' movies may be coming on, but we usually fell asleep at the TV set. I don't recall ever watching this one, but its in the likes of Gargoyles, Beyond the Door, Devil Dog, Devil's Rain, Shadow of the Hawk, and of course Rosemary's Baby; all of which is supernatural horror. If your a spoiled 21st century computer effects lover, then you will be disappointed since you are use to "visual" rather than "psychological" fun.

Sic Coyote The film has a decent script and cast, nothing too outstanding but certainly can stand on it's own.Don't be fooled by the tag-line "Satan's only gift is death" as this has nothing to do with Satan, and there are no naked women in this movie.Actually come to think of it I am now wondering why this movie got a 18 certificate in the UK as there is as far as I can remember from just watching it; No Gore, No Nudity, No Sex(except it is slightly implied that they 'did it' when then are lying in bed together in one scene), No Bad Language and minimal violence.It's actually a pretty safe film except for the supernatural plot which the more religious 'may' have a problem with. But nothing that Buffy hasn't done, in fact I'd say if this was resubmitted now it would have no problem getting away with a PG certificate.But this doesn't mean it's a bad movie, as I've said it has a decent script and cast and everything is done quite competently even if it doesn't come near raising the bar it's a perfectly acceptable watch for it's 95 minute running time keeping up a good air of menace.4/10

Paul Andrews An on screen caption informs us 'Alison - Sixteen years, Four months'. Alison Findlay (Joanne Samuel) & two of her school friends, Chrissie Willis (Margie McCrae) & Maureen Tate (Julie Wilson) are holding a séance. Spooky things begin to happen & Chrissie becomes possessed with Alison's dead Father's spirit who warns her about what will happen on her nineteenth birthday. Chrissie is crushed to death by a bookcase that falls on her. The credits roll & then another on screen caption now helpfully informs us 'Alison - Eighteen years, Eleven months, Twenty Six days'. As Alison's nineteenth birthday fast approaches her Aunt Jenny (Bunny Brooke as Bunney Brooke), who along with her Uncle Dean (John Bluthal) brought Alison up when her parent died while she was a baby, phones her & invites Alison to her childhood home for her birthday. Alison agrees as Jenny also informs her that her Uncle is ill & has only a short time to live. Alison decides to take along her boyfriend Peter Healy (Lou Brown, the IMDb is wrong as Peter is not Alison's uncle, it's definitely Uncle Dean), they travel down & at first things are fine as Alison remembers her childhood & is reunited with Jenny & Dean, Alison is untroubled by the miniature Stone Hendge at the bottom of their garden. But that night Alison has terrible nightmares & wakes up to find a 103 year old woman (Marion Johns) in a wheelchair by the side of her bed. Jenny & Dean claim that the woman is her Grandmother they never told her about, despite this Alison still thinks everything is fine. Peter becomes suspicious when Uncle Dean warns him to stay away from Alison for a couple of days, Peter tries to see Alison but is told a phony excuse about her having nervous exhaustion by a dodgy looking Doctor named Jeremy Lyall (Vincent Ball) who when questioned is very evasive. When Peter forcibly tries to remove Alison the police are called & he is arrested. Peter decides to investigate further & visits a friend named Sally Brown (Lisa Peers) who seems to be some sort of astrologer, Peter mentions the name Mirne, the name Alison mentioned from her nightmare. Sally looks in a book & authoritatively says that Mirne was in ancient Celtic mythology a powerful female demon worshipped by Celtic magicians & was said to dwell in stone. Things turn nasty quickly for both Peter as he unearth's some sinister & shocking facts, & for Alison as her Aunt & Uncle have special plans for her nineteenth birthday party...Written & directed by Ian Coughlan Alison's Birthday is as dull as dishwater & as exciting as watching paint dry, I was bored to tears. The script is so slow it's untrue, the script goes for psychological terror totally ignoring the exploitative possibilities, & it fails completely which is no surprise. There is no suspense or tension & everything is so uninteresting & just plain dull. Nothing exciting, scary, gory or interesting happens until the last ten or so minutes when there is a decent climax & twist ending, unfortunately for Alison's Birthday this is far too little, far too late. Not one single drop of blood is spilt throughout, there is no nudity or bad language either & while these things aren't necessary for a horror film to be either good or entertaining they sure as hell help & since Alison's Birthday is so drawn out & dull some decent exploitation elements would have livened things up considerably. As it is Alison's Birthday is one of the most boring uneventful films I've seen. The film is also very flat & basic in terms of production values, it's not a poorly made made film but it isn't a particularly well made one either which makes it even more painful to sit through. Another minus against Alison's Birthday is that it is an Australian produced film & therefore everyone have annoying accents (G'day mate want to come to me barbie?), sorry but it's true! I can't think of a single good feature about Alison's Birthday by which I could recommend it. I pretty much hate this film, no matter how cheap you may be able to pick this up for don't bother unless your an insomniac that is. Guaranteed to have most people reaching for the 'stop' or 'fastforward' buttons well before it's anywhere near finished, do yourself a favour & avoid Alison's Birthday. Trust me you'll be glad you did.
