After the DeWitt University basketball team wins big during a championship game, the players and their girlfriends celebrate by having a costume party. Things get out of hand at the party when Sheila (Lauren-Marie Taylor) publicly shows affection for basketball mascot Benson (Matthew Dunn), a moment witnessed by her boyfriend Mike (David Holbrook). Mike makes a scene and storms out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next night, someone in the mascot outfit begins killing the all-female participants of the annual scavenger hunt, using a homemade glove with a claw made of knives (hello, Freddy!). With all the targets being women from a popular clique, does the killer have a misogynistic motive for the brutal slayings? Could it be Mike, still in a jealous rage over Sheila? Or maybe it&#8217;s Dickie Cavanaugh, a former university student who murdered his girlfriend years earlier and who may or may not be dead? And what about Benson? Hmmm&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image2-1024x554.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7005\" style=\"width:350px;height:189px\" width=\"350\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image2-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image2-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image2-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image2-1536x831.png 1536w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image2.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Despite some good moments and an inventive killer, <em>Girls Nite Out<\/em> is unfortunately a misfire. Unlike <em>Halloween<\/em>, <em>Friday the 13th<\/em>, or similar movies, there&#8217;s no Final Girl or Boy to root for; the film is littered with too many uninteresting characters, with no central theme or plot line, creating a confusing web of relationships and stories. This is made worse by a slow pace and a meandering vibe that doesn&#8217;t push the story forward but stops it in its tracks. <em>Friday the 13th Part 2<\/em>&#8216;s Taylor has the best kill, but if you&#8217;ve seen more then one of these flicks you can guess the identity of the killer early on. <strong>C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Girls Nite Out <\/em>is available on Blu-ray from Arrow Video. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Madhouse-1981-movie-Arrow-Video-blu-ray.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7094\" style=\"width:372px;height:130px\" width=\"372\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Madhouse-1981-movie-Arrow-Video-blu-ray.jpeg 603w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Madhouse-1981-movie-Arrow-Video-blu-ray-300x105.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s one thing Italian genre filmmakers knew how to do in the &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s, it was pumping out stylish, but cockamamie, slashers, and 1981&#8217;s <strong>MADHOUSE<\/strong> is prime example. Shot in Savannah, Georgia, the story follows schoolteacher, Julia (Trish Everly), on the days leading up to her birthday. After paying her psycho twin sister, Mary, a visit at the local mental health facility, Julia begins having memories of her dysfunctional childhood, which was made worse by the sociopathic Mary and her vicious Rottweiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triggered by Julia&#8217;s upcoming birthday, Mary escapes the hospital and, with her trusty, bloodthirsty dog by her side, begins to kill Julia&#8217;s friends. When Julia believes Mary murdered one of her students, Julia&#8217;s uncle (Dennis Robertson) dismisses her as delusional, creating tension and paranoia in Julia &#8211; and a higher body count. Is Mary responsible for the killings, or is Julia just imagining it all in her clouded mind?   <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-w1280-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7095\" style=\"width:360px;height:202px\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-w1280-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-w1280-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-w1280-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-w1280.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The movie is very well made and often has the look of a polished Hollywood film. Unfortunately, its characters and situations are presented so ludicrously that it&#8217;s difficult to take any of it seriously, especially when it&#8217;s trying very hard to be serious. It&#8217;s hard to muster much sympathy for Julia when her character keeps putting herself in hot water, leading to an ending that makes little sense and has zero suspense. <em>Madhouse<\/em> is a movie you&#8217;ll want to see repossessed. <strong>C<\/strong>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the tradition of House on Sorority Row, Final Exam, and other early &#8217;80s college-set slashers is 1982&#8217;s GIRLS NITE OUT.
