Well. What can I say? This movie doesn't have enough senseless nudity to be called 'Girl School Screamers'. That would be like a movie called 'Womens Prison Screamers' with no shower scenes. That's it...I'm callin the mayor.

I invited a number of friends to see this movie with me on my computer. They are no longer my friends. Case proven.

I like troma films quite a bit and was very disappointed in this. You'd think with a name with 'GIRLS' and 'SCREAMERS' in it there would be some naughty skin. There was more nudity in Disney's Aladin. Skip it Troma Fans!

(...)now for the fans of HORROR movies!! this is a pretty damn spooky flick with the exceptions of the pace(the beginning was great but then it goes dry for a little while but once it gets going it GOES!!!)I LOVE THIS FLICK IT BRINGS ME RIGHT BACK TO WHEN I WAS 7-8-9 YEARS OLD & thats what a horror movie is supposed to do. this is a spoooooooooky genuine 80s fright flick!!!! you have a bunch of girls in a ghostly mansion being stalked by some relentless entity(plenty of potential victims ha ha ha!!)just what a true horror fan is looking for!!!!!! decent-bad acting/decent directing/somewhat of a decent storyline/classic(use your own imagination)80s murder scenes(as in not much gore)/& most importantly the beautiful creepy atmosphere!!!(wich explains why no need for gore!!!)the dvd comes out sounding & looking great i just wish that TROMA would put more extras that actually have something to do with the movie rather than TROMA STUDIOS & more info about TROMA!??????(...) ANYWAY THE MOVIE ROCKS GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!turn out the lights chomp on some popcorn & E!!!!N!!!!J!!!!O!!!!Y

First of this is a TROMA film. And TROMA rules the indie horror industry. This film was done in 86 and what stood out the most was much of the film had little gore. Proving once again you don't need gore to make a good horror film. The suspense in this film is A.O.K. and is a neat little midnight flick.

"Girls Schools Screamers" is the only film directed by John P. Finegan and I think the number of cast members whose images were actually ever seen on celluloid ever again can be counted on one hand. The plot has seven beautiful coeds at an exclusive finishing school spending the night locked in a dark mansion where they are "finished" off, one by one (the original tag line for the film was "The Finishing School That Finished Them Off!" which is actually better than the other one, which is "How Much Gut Wrenching Fright Can You Stand?"). You have probably already notice the big spoiler about this film (it has no nudity and little gore, but no nudity), but for me the jaw dropper was the "rationale" behind the blood bath, which we get from the opening tale of days gone bye, because when it comes to vengeance from beyond the grave I have to think that "kissing" is a relatively minor sign. Once the killing begins the question is whether the smart girls can figure it out before they become the next victims. No fair rooting for the killer. The Australian version of "Girls School Screamers" runs two minutes longer and while there may well be those who would want a director's cut version to be available on future DVDs, I am not one of them. I was surprised that this is a Troma film because it is simply the least Troma-like Troma film I have ever seen. The DVD has the theatrical trailer, productions stills, and the usual Troma Studio tour, Troma intelligence test, and some scenes from Troma's Edge TV show. Still, at some point you are going to have to actually watch "Girl School Screamers." Bet you fall asleep before they get to the parts you might actually want to watch. Why does this film get 2 stars? Because single stars are reserved for snuff films.
