Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Michael_Elliott Hide and Go Shriek (1988) *** (out of 4) Eight teenagers decides to stay in one of their father's furniture stores after hours so that they can have fun, drink beer and have sex all night. Everything gets off on the right foot but soon some sort of maniac begins picking them off.Why on Earth haven't I heard of HIDE AND GO SHRIEK before now? Why is it that one of the better slashers of the 1980s doesn't have much of a reputation? I went into this film expecting some sort of by the numbers slasher but it turned out to be one of the best that the genre has to offer. If you're looking for an art-house film then this here is certainly not that but if you enjoy the slasher genre then there's a lot of really good stuff here.Director Skip Schoolnik and writer Michael Kelly certainly know what a genre fan would want and they deliver it here. The slasher genre was pretty much dead by this point so perhaps that's why this film came out and went away rather quickly but it's certainly waiting to be rediscovered. What makes this film work so well is that it perfectly lives up to what you'd expect out of the genre. There are four females on hand and all four of them are naked. You've got several sex scenes that are here for no other reason that to see hot girls naked. You've got a pretty good mystery as to who is doing the killings and finally we have some clever death scenes and blood.All of that stuff adds up to one of the better horror films of the genre. Another thing that really helps the film is the fact that the cast members are all very fun to watch. All eight of them, and the two supporting characters, are fun and while the performances aren't the greatest they're at least good enough to where you can enjoy the characters. I also thought the film benefited from you not knowing who would live or die as they keep things mixed up pretty well throughout.Sure, there are some flaws in the film but there's no question that fans of the genre really need to check this one out.

gwnightscream This 1988 horror film features 8 friends who decide to spend the night in a furniture store owned by one's father where they celebrate graduating high school and play a game of hide and seek, but a killer decides to change the rules. This starts off OK, but falls flat because the characters are unlikable, it's over a half hour until the killer strikes and most of the film is too dark. The film does have a creepy score and some gruesome deaths/kills. Fans of the genre may still want to view this at least once, but it's bland in my opinion.

BA_Harrison Four teenage couples sneak into a large furniture store after hours for a wild night of sex, booze and… errr… hide and go seek. As they roam around the darkness, pausing occasionally to make good use of the shop's many beds, a killer proceeds to bump them off one-by-one, dressing up as his previous victim in order to fool the next one.Late 80s slasher Hide And Go Shriek is, for the most part, an extremely predictable horror, with the usual assortment of dumb, oversexed teenage victims-to-be and a mysterious killer with the apparent ability to be in many places at once. With the plot calling for the store's lights to be off the whole time, the film is extremely dark for much of the action, making most of the kills rather disappointing (low lighting saves on decent effects I suppose); however, director Skip Schoolnik does at least ensure that there is adequate lighting whenever the actresses take their clothes off (three out of the four girls get their norks out; the fourth strips to her underwear).Where the film does score points for originality is with its killer: I'm not going to spoil it for you, but the true identity of the maniac is most unexpected, and the reason for his reign of terror absolutely hilarious.5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for the cool elevator decapitation scene, and the surprisingly hot striptease by the supposedly virginal Judy (Donna Baltron) which makes me believe that she hasn't been entirely truthful about her lack of experience.

Coventry BIG spoilers, but you shouldn't care... Skip Schoolnik's Hide and Go Shriek is a strong contender for the price of absolute WORST slasher-movie of the 80's. Simply every aspect of this is film is very wrong and downright pathetic, which makes it all the more surprising to see that all my fellow reviewers on this site are so mild in their opinions! This thing is hopeless right from the start, with the introduction of the most insufferable ensemble cast ever! These teenagers don't only look stupid; their personalities don't make the slightest bit of sense. First we see two males in a gym, weightlifting and driveling about graduation parties. Okay, they're standard high-school jocks that act tough and talk dirty, it seems, but instead they're total wimps! One of them constantly tells his virgin girlfriend that it's OK to wait with sex until she's ready and the other one is terrified to mess up his daddy's furniture warehouse. The next male that gets introduced is supposed to be the obligatory sex-addict, yet all he ever nags about is his 6$ haircut. The last male looks like a typical dork, and you expect the others to pick on him, but no, he's actually part of the team! The same goes for all the girls. Judging by their looks and exhibitionist-tendencies, you're expecting a troop of sluts and bimbos, right? Wrong again, because these ladies talk about how sacred marriage is and they're even giving away their own sexy lingerie to a chubbier girl so that she's more likely to have sex with the aforementioned dork. What kind of teenagers are they? The stupidity of these youngsters is made complete when it turns out they have their very own friendship dance-ritual to Aerosmith's "Walk this Way". The gang has finally finished high school and they plan a wild celebration in the furniture store owned by John's dad. Their idea of a graduation party is – get this - to play hide & seek! How old are they, twelve?? After the game, and ignoring the fact some of them already vanished, they all have dinner together and go to bed early. I stand corrected; they're actually seven years old… Then, of course, there's the homicidal maniac who – thank God – consistently murders our teenagers one by one. The death sequences are the only redeeming moments and you should enjoy the elevator-decapitation scene as much as you possibly can because the denouement is totally retarded again. Naturally I'm not going to blab the killer's identity here, but you better prepare yourself for the most retarded…incompetent…implausible…ludicrous…craziest ending in low-budget horror EVER! One of the many reasons why 80's slashers are so popular is because you can participate in guessing who the killer is. You simply can't do that here and people who carefully paid attention to every small detail will feel cheated and furious. Total laugh-riot.
