Hide and Go Shriek (1988)

One of the poorest paced slashers i've seen in a long time. Absolutely nothing of interest happens in the first half as some unruly high school numpties decide to spend the night in a furniture store, play hide and seek, shag and eventually get murdered by a mystery killer who may just be the cross dressing night watchman.

Things do improve during the second half and the action becomes frenetic at times plus there was the interesting idea that the killer dressed in the clothes of his victims after each murder, man or woman. The abundance of mannequins on display added a bit of creepy atmosphere too as well as one or two memorable killings - service elevator i'm thinking of you here.

Not a top drawer slasher by any means but certainly watchable even if the first half is a bit of a slog.
