Aaron1375 Review of Girls Nite Out

Girls Nite Out (1982)

The girls did not really go out all that much.

[2/10 · 7 October 2011]

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.
