Trivia

St. Vincent herself is not a big fan of horror films because they scare her too much, so her short film "The Birthday Party" is instead intended to be more of a black comedy than a horror story.

User Reviews

Worth it for the stop-motion.

I actually really enjoyed the film. I found the production, acting and dialogue to be pretty good. The stories, to be fair, where perhaps a little weak but that's my opinion. If you enjoy supernatural stuff - have a go - I really think this is a cut above some of the other offerings I have watched recently. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

The star is the stop-motion - worth the price of admission alone - utterly mesmerizing. I would give 10 out of 10 for this alone.

Regards.
