Hide And Go Shriek (1988)


A group of teenagers spend the night in a furniture store for a graduation party. A psycho killer starts to hunt them down and kill them off.

Although this appears to be just another 1980's teen slasher movie from the outset, Hide and Go Shriek not only delivers the necessary mullets, interesting killings, over aged actors and 20 minute rule for tits, it also tries to create an atmosphere too. That's a winning formula in my eyes and they even give a fairly elaborate reason for the ridiculous murderer going crazy. However, despite the extra thought that went into that, it's the bit where shy Annette Sinclair finally gets it all off her chest that I remember most clearly, in a scene that could only be featured in a film from the 1980's.
