Not everything is as it seems at the old Royal Fulton Hotel. Norman Forrester, played brilliantly in a career-defining performance by the iconic Corey Feldman, is finally going to meet his girlfriend’s family at her father’s lavish birthday party. But what was supposed to be an important step forward in their relationship doesn’t exactly go as planned; he’s not on the guest list, his girlfriend is ignoring him, and her father doesn’t like him at all. Rejected and heartbroken, Norman wanders away from the party, only to find something far more sinister than his girlfriend’s family lurking deep within the churning bowels of the ailing hotel: an ancient evil that threatens to bring about the end of the world.
Hailed a “cinematic marvel” by Jordan Peele, THE BIRTHDAY is the mischievously thrilling, darkly hilarious, and cult-celebrated first feature from visionary filmmaker Eugenio Mira, nearly lost after its world premiere at the 2004 Sitges International Film Festival and never viewed in theaters after its initial festival circuit tour… until now!
“A rare gift for lovers of unconventional cinema, The Birthday is a film that lingers in the mind long after viewing, inviting—perhaps even demanding—repeated viewings to unravel its many layers.” Stephanie Malone, Morbidly Beautiful
