Alison's Birthday
During a Ouija board session with her teenaged friends, 16-year-old Alison gets a message from beyond the grave not to go home for her birthday three years later.
Why it matters
A low-fi slasher with a supernatural twist that captures early ’80s teen terror and occult obsession before both tropes calcified.
- Stripped-down, homegrown atmosphere channels regional horror’s DIY spirit—think early Tobe Hooper or Charles Band.
- The Ouija board setup taps into occult anxieties that predate the ’80s VHS boom but still feel freshly eerie.
- Rough around the edges but earnest performances lend a rawness missing from polished slashers of the era.
- Ideal for fans of micro-budget chillers where atmosphere and concept outweigh slick production values.
