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. | Quote:

Fairly awful slasher film that takes so long to get going you might well have fallen asleep by the time the killer in a bear costume slashes up a bunch of sorority girls using the same boring blade claw round the throat routine each time.
The Loving Spoonful's Summer in the City on the soundtrack makes you think at times the film is better than it is. | Sorry, Nordy.
