Night Screams (1987)







          David is a football player without heart. He’s playing for his dad’s sake but doesn’t know what to do with his life. As a gift for him doing very well and recruited by the best schools, his parents give him the house for the weekend. But not only do his friends stop by, so do a few escaped convicts from a nearby prison. All the girls love David and would rather dump their current boyfriends but all he wants is Lori, a shy & quiet girl with a mysterious past. So it is the convicts versus David, and only alcohol will be the winner.

          Overall: Lots of issues with the film and some unique insight. The film has nudity, but only with the videos these teens watch on tv. So when some characters put some porn videos on, u see it on the video but not with the characters. The kids start their night of fun at a bar but the film indicates these are high-schoolers – so does every bar serve booze to under-age kids? And where did the bathing suits come from? No one brought bags with clothes so do I assume they wore them underneath? I know the traditional horror film ends up with beautiful women as the horny girls or ones most likely to be killed in the shower but this film has a first. A “overweight” girl as the nympho of the group. And finally, since when during sex in a hottub is it appropriate to stop and go get a burger? Is the guy that bad?

          Comparison: April Fool’s Day meets Best of Times
