Movie Reviews of Girls Nite Out
Movie Review: Not your typical 80s slasher fare!
Summary: 4 Stars
Not your typical campus-set slasher from the 80s in which a college scavenger hunt turns bloody when the contestants get killed one by one by a murderer in a bear costume (!) with knives as his fingers.
Although Girls nite out (or the Scaremaker as it was originally called) has all the usual ingredients of a good old fun stalk 'n' slash movie, the makers did try to do something new with the material.
Over the years we all had our share of masked psychopaths but a bear costume? And while at first the school's furry mascotte evokes some giggles, when the murders actually begin it becomes a little more creepy.
Because the action is set to a "golden oldies" weekend, there are a lot of 60s/70s rocksongs on the soundtrack and they are a welcome change from all the terrible 80s groups we usually have to endure in these kind of movies.
In contrast to other slasher movies of this period there isn't even a final girl!
So is it any good? Well, i guess if you are a devoted slasher fan and you are in a good (read forgiving) mood then you'll probably like it and you'll be able to oversee its shortcomings ( too many silly characters, somewhat lacking in suspense....etc.) I unashamedly like Girls nite out. At display here are a bunch of mostly sympathetic teens, the movie benefits from an above average cast (serious actor Hal Holbrook as the camp guard especially lends the movie some class) and it has a genuine dreadlike atmosphere only those 80s slasher seem to know how to evoke. Avoiding the usual battle between the final girl and the killer but instead opting for a more subtle "sleepaway camp"-like final moment evoke a legitamate chill.
Summary of Girls Nite Out
The day after a homecoming basketball game and the victory party, an all-night scavenger hunt is held on the campus of a small Ohio college. Amongst the backdrop of Campus shenanigans the school mascot is murdered and his bear costume taken by a psychotic killer. Stalking several cheerleaders and killing them in variety of creative ways, the murderers identity stays hidden by the playful panda costume. The campus security officer Mac (Hal Holbrook) whose daughter was a victim of a similar killer, tries to find out who?s behind it before more killings continue.Similar DVD Movies
