Watch Girls Nite Out For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Simply Perfect

Lack of good storyline.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This 1982 horror film stars Julia Montgomery, James Carroll, Suzanne Barnes and Hal Holbrook. This begins at a psychiatric hospital where a patient has committed suicide. Soon, a killer stalks a group of college students who are having an all-night scavenger hunt. The killer decides to dress up as their university's bear mascot. Montgomery (Revenge of the Nerds) plays Cheerleader, Lynn, Carroll plays her jock boyfriend, Teddy, Barnes plays Dawn, a girl Teddy befriends, Holbrook (Creepshow, The Fog) plays campus-security guard, MacVey and Holbrook's son, David (Creepshow 2) also appears as student, Mike. This isn't a bad slasher flick with a decent cast, chilling score and some bloody kills along with some goofy moments. Horror/slasher buffs should check it out at least once.

Got this movie on a three pack of films called bloody schoolgirls which also featured One Dark Night and Blood Sisters. The only one of them that was good was One Dark Night, both Blood Sisters and this one were boring and almost unwatchable. This one sort of goes all over the place, the basic thing to know is some dudes have just won a basketball game and a there is a bunch of girls dumping some guys for other guys and guys cheating on their girlfriends, you have idiots for comic relief and there is an awesome scavenger hunt! The killer should have simply put a nuclear device in the middle of the campus, detonated it and they could have spared us from having to watch all these random scenes and very underdeveloped characters. Seriously, it was so hard to watch this film simply because the characters were so bland and I had a hard time telling people apart. I thought when the two dumb dudes came into the party one leading one by the chain that they were the two idiots that were introduced in a previous scene acting kind of different. Then everyone is cheating and you start to wonder who are they cheating on, is not that the guy's girlfriend, no wait that is the girl he was hitting on at the party. In all this confusing mess we have a killer in a bear suit killing the students, mainly the female ones. You also have guy who is very angry at being dumped that he says things that if this were real life and not a movie would mean that more than likely he should have been the killer, but this is a movie so his scene automatically disqualified him as the killer. No, in films like these it is always the least likely suspect and when we learn of the killer here we know they have to have ties to the person who hung himself at the start of the film. The film does feature Hal Holbrook, who looks very disinterested in the whole affair and we have the most anticlimactic showdown ever in a film of this sort at the end as the film kind of whimpers and scurries away.

This film is an odd little piece of horror history. It stars Hal Holbrook (Creepshow), Rutanya Alda (Mommie Dearest)and Julia Montgomery (Revenge of the Nerds) and features a murderer wearing a dancing bear costume. The murder sequences are goofy but then again so is the entire film. Like a train wreck, you will not be able to take your eyes off of it and the bizarre musical score and odd sense of humor make this a fun little horror gem to have around the house. The film centers around a series of murders taking place on a college campus during their annual "scavenger hunt"...and just when you think you know who the murderer is, the film springs the classic horror movie "surprise" twist ending on you that makes you scratch your head and say "Huh?" This is an excellent "party" film since you really don't have to pay all that much attention to it. Recommended for fans of the "slasher film" genre.

There wasn't exactly a shortage of slashers in the eighties, and consequently a lot of the non-memorable ones are just there to bulk out the numbers. This is one such film. Girls Nite Out is yet another slasher flick that takes place on a school campus, and as such; all the characters in the film are your common set of teens. I couldn't detect much comedy in the film, which is odd because the killer is one of the most ridiculous I've ever seen, in that he goes around slashing people while wearing a giant bear suit! There's a bit of decent gore, but it's not nearly enough to mask the drivel of the rest of the film. Strangely, considering that the main characters are all teenagers, there's not a great deal of sex and director Robert Deubel generally fails to create any atmosphere or generate any suspense at every interval. Of course, the fact that the film works from a poor script that doesn't deliver any characters that we can care about has a lot to do with the film's lack of suspense. Overall, Girls Nite Out is not a slasher worth tracking down, and should be actively avoided!
