- Synopsis:
Unreleased for nearly twenty years, 'The Birthday' has achieved near-mythic status among cult film enthusiasts. Shot on a single, meticulously designed location, Eugenio Mira's deliriously offbeat dark comedy offers a career-best turn from Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), playing wildly against type. Painfully awkward Norman Forrester (Feldman) chooses the opulent birthday party of his girlfriend Alison's (Erica Prior) wealthy father (Jack Taylor, Conan the Barbarian) as the perfect moment to propose. But between bizarre encounters with guests and unnervingly polite hotel staff, Norman stumbles into a nightmarish occult conspiracy that threatens not just his relationship but the fate of the world itself. Rediscovered at last, 'The Birthday' blends screwball comedy, cosmic horror and feverish style into an unforgettable cinematic experience. - Actors:
