Rob.
Girls Nite Out is awful. Seriously. I have it on a Shriekshow triple dvd set along with
Blood Sisters and
One Dark Night.
It's not sleazy, it's not absurd (in any good way) and i certainly wouldn't waste a single penny on it.

Sure it's a daft costume but so is the big bunny suit in The Bunnyman Massacre films, yet that works, albeit in a grungy low budget sort of way.
The film lacks any real blood or shock value of any kind due to a script that's far too interested in the inane drunken ramblings of the students on show than it is in ramping up anything resembling tension.
The acting is just so-so with nobody coming across as any sort of hero or heroine, and the only star on offer is Hal Holbrook who sleepwalks through proceedings as he's on the phone behind a desk for 90% of his screen time.
This was the second time i've watched this and i still can't figure out the title and it's relevance to whats on show as a large portion of the film focuses on guys and there is no girls night out at all. |
