Right, well as I sat down in 2022 to watch the 1989 horror comedy "Girlfriend from Hell", I must admit that this was the first time I had ever heard about it. I liked the movie's synopsis, as it sounded like it could be a fun, cheesy archetypical late 1980s teenage movie. So I sat down to watch writer and director Daniel Peterson's 1989 movie.
And this was both the first and last time to watch "Girlfriend from Hell". Why? Well, the movie just simply fell short of entertaining me. The storyline felt like a swing and a miss, and there wasn't much fun throughout the course of the story. Actually, I didn't even laugh a single time. And truth be told, then the storyline was rather mundane and boring in comparison to other late 1980s horror comedies.
There were two familiar faces in the movie, which were James Karen and Dana Ashbrook, and they weren't exactly the lead actors. So the movie was a gallery of unfamiliar faces on the screen, and that is actually something I enjoy in movies. It was just a shame that the actors and actresses in "Girlfriend from Hell" had next to nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline, characters and dialogue.
I am sure that there is an audience out there for a cheese-fest such as "Girlfriend from Hell".
My rating of "Girlfriend from Hell" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
