To me, this movie is perfection.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

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.

An ex-con who works (and lives, thanks to a stupid owner) in a furniture store. When a group of hormonal teens decide to party in said furniture store after hours, (one of them is the son of the aforementioned stupid owner and has a set of spare keys) they're in for trouble when the homicidal transvestite ex-con lover of the ex-con living there comes calling to strike up the Brokeback relationship, in this horribly dated late '80's slasher horror film. This being a typical by-the-numbers slasher flick that doesn't really deviate from the clichéd path in the least, I was surprised that it was still moderately entertaining to an extant, even if the guys were all wussies.My Grade: C- Eye Candy: Donna Baltron, Bunky Jones, and Annette Sinclair all get topless

A handful of teenagers sneaks into a furniture store owned by the father of one of the teenagers.An ex-convict,just recently released,has been hired to realize a variety of manual tasks.Because he hasn't had the time to find anywhere to live,he is temporarily living in the building.The teenagers believe they are alone to eat,drink and have sex.However,someone is spying on them from the darkness.As to not be noticed,they leave the lights out.When they understand that somebody is watching them,it is too late:heads start to roll and blood starts to flow.After each murder,the killer steals his victim's clothes and fools the next teenager by making them believe he is one of them."Hide and Go Shriek" is a pretty good slasher.The killer wears his victims' clothing,whether they are men or women and the plastic mannequins look creepy.There is a good amount of violence and gore including memorable death scene where a teenager is attached on the roof of an elevator and the ceiling tears off her head when the elevator changes floors.So if you like slasher films give this one a look.7 out of 10.

*SPOILERS* The film opens with a "dramatic" sequence where a tranvestie man is raped (or at least that seems) by another man. After the tragic event the opening credits roll, and you have a peculiar opening sequence for a slasher movie.In the next scene eight friends plan to celebrate their high school graduation in a furniture store at night, owned by the father of one of these kids. Before the teens arrive, the owner of the furniture hires an ex con to take care of the store at night. Apparently, the ex con tries to start a new life and follow the right path. Unknown to him, the teens sneak into the store at night and start their party. As the night passes, one by one these teens are brutally murdered by an unknown killer that has a wicked concept of fun. After killing them, this killer wears their clothes. Yes, he even uses the women's clothes. The main suspicious is Fred (the ex con) but apparently he's not behind the murders. When the other 4 teens discover the dead body of their friends, they start a hunt in order to find the killer. From out of nowhere, Fred appears and asks them "what are they doing here?" only to be physically beaten down by one of the boys. They think they found the killer when suddenly, the real killer makes a frightening and weird introduction. Who will survive? What's the identity of the killer? and what's his relation with Fred? I had the chance to watch this little known slasher for the first time two years ago on late night cable. After watching it, I thought that the premise was interesting (highly based on Chopping Mall from 1986). I thought that this was a recommended slasher, better than the average.I've had the chance to watch "Hide and Go Shriek" 3 times in the past 2 years and my opinion has changed. This is an average slasher, it has the elements that made the genre popular, but clearly it's not one of the bests out there. There's decent gore (the decapitation is the best kill), and a creepy atmosphere (the mannequins added a touch of uncertainness and fright). O the bad side, the acting is terrible, the score is boring and repetitive, and the plot turns boring and tedious after the first 30 mins. Bunky Jones is hot! she's candy for the eye. The best about the film is the ending which is truly shocking, not because it's great or innovative, but it's something you don't expect. Disgusting. This is just a film for slasher fans, those who enjoy the greatness of this genre. Not for everyone!Anyways, give this slasher a try only if you are a die hard fan of the genre. Watch it with low expectations. 5/10. I have warned you!
