      Anton Bitel Little White Lies it is respectful of slasher history, offering an ensemble of characters too messily complicated to be mere caricatures, and it locates its maddening trauma – unusually for the genre – in the amatory infidelities of its ‘players’. May 17, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Let's just say that Yogi and Boo-Boo look positively dangerous, demented, and demonic when compared to this cuddly killer. Rated: 2/4 May 27, 2022 Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com For the devious bad guy's creative and unsettling garb alone, Girls Nite Out earns more points than it otherwise probably warrants. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 9, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D The characters and dialog of woeful even for cheap slashers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Carlos I It's a silly little forgotten slasher flick, but damnit, I had fun with it! There was something about the mix of likeable characters and the music that just did it for me. And the furry killer is the stuff that today's Five Nights at Freddy's fans could probably even enjoy. I'll definitely give this one another spin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review Audience Member How many horror films have a murderer in a bear suit? The music in this will creep the heck out of you too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally hokey, early 1980s slasher schlock, with nothing to really distinguish it from the rest of the glut of deranged killer movies from that era... save for a few halfhearted stabs at some genuine character work (most of which falls flat). In the lead, Julia Montgomery is legitimately good, and is allowed to play something approaching an actual human being, but the movie bizarrely sidelines her for the bulk of the midsection, choosing to spend far too much time instead with characters we barely know. It's a rather poorly paced affair, with a first act that takes way too long to get things rolling, and which sets up a ton of threads and angles they are never paid off (and which go beyond just red herring stuff). Perhaps the most baffling element of the movie is the presence of the great Hal Holbrook, whose appearances are incredibly jarring - and so obviously disconnected from the rest of the movie, because he rarely shares a shot with any other actors - because he, frankly, classes up the place too much. There are many worse examples of the slasher boom of the '80s, but there are also many better ones, too. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Unidentified person in a school bear mascot suit kills college girls on a scavenger hunt. Decent horror outing that somehow roped in Hal Holbrook to be part of the cast. Never thought the waitress at the diner was the killer. I should have guessed, students are notoriously bad tippers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A killer stalks the students of a local campus on the annual scavenger hunt dressed as the college's bear mascot. Contains zero originality, no ambition and really no likeable characters. A couple notable appearances here by former Marquette Basketball Coach Al McGuire and Hal Holbrook--presumably only as a concession to secure a special 'introductory' role for his son David. I found it difficult to believe that four writers actually collaborated on this story. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
