It’s Kelsey's Birthday on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey study the psychic potential of frogs and are real brats about the sushi cake!
The Classic Film: Frogs (1972)
"A group of helpless victims celebrate a birthday on an island estate crawling with killer amphibians, birds, insects, and reptiles” (IMDb.com). Frogs is fanatical and toothless at the same time. It seems like a pale imitation of a *good* environmental horror and still doesn't offer a lot in the way of so-bad-it's-good chuckles.
The Modern Film: My Super Psycho Sweet 16 (2009)
"A spoiled teen's birthday bash turns killer after she convinces her parents to re-open a roller skating rink where murders took place” (IMDb.com). Entertaining enough to have us intrigued for a sequel, this MTV original based on its own actual reality show and about rich, teenage brats probably won't blow your skirt up unless you're into that sort of thing.
