Years ago, a student was killed by her mentally unbalanced boyfriend when she broke off their relationship. After his capture and trial, the young killer was sent to the local Weston Hill Sanitorium for the mentally insane -- and now he has escaped. Even though the sorority is rapidly losing members, the police are no closer to finding the killer than before they heard of the crimes, so Mac (Hal Holbrook), the original victim's father and head of campus security, goes after the serial murderer himself. Even a surprise ending cannot pull the rest of this film out of the horror doldrums. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

For the devious bad guy's creative and unsettling garb alone, Girls Nite Out earns more points than it otherwise probably warrants.

Bill Gibron, DVDTalk.com
Horror films have a bad enough name without something like Girls Nite Out soiling its ridiculed reputation even more.
