The Birthday Party

The Birthday Party is a 1968 children's adventure film. The film features George Oldberg as Howie Goldwater. Howie is attending the birthday party of a classmate in the woods of upstate New York. However the film takes a dramatic turn in the first scene, where Howie is presented with a choice. He can fight the other children in a dramatic tournament or surrender his free-will to Karmak, the lord of the child-fighting cult. Howie selects battle, and the film then begins in earnest. The film features violence and coarse language.
