Initially this appears to be the usual slasher formula of high schoolers sneaking into a furniture store to party throughout the night. Someone else is in the store killing the kids one by one. I won't give anything else away. There is a red herring, but this film is notable for giving a plot twist as we discover who the killer is and why they are doing what they are doing. All things considered I really enjoyed this film. It doesn't get remembered as much when 80's slashers are discussed. If you love horror films, go see this.
Some friends spend the night in a furniture store one of their parents owns and are stalked and killed by a killer who likes to dress up as the victims they've just killed.
You have to admire a movie that features a killer with a flair for playing dress up. It's also nice that the characters in this movie aren't complete idiots. The minute they realize someone's killing their friends, they stick together and fight the killer together. It does lessen some of the suspense and leaves the body count a little low by slasher standards, but I liked the guts it took to stick by that choice.

A must see! if you want to watch a movie with false scares, creepy environment, creepy music, and entertaining death sequences, then
"Hide and Go Shriek" is the perfect movie.
The flaws about this movie are bad actors, and a boring plot (8 teens stay in a place and get stalked and killed by someone). This movie is different from others because we get to know the killer at the end, and BELIEVE ME, it will be scary.
This movie will sure give you the creeps...

This movie has it's good moments... It has scary scenes, scary music, gore, original killings, and an original killer.
Give this movie a try. If you feel scared during the movie, I bet that at the end of it you'll feel like an idiot because the killer is VERY... Ok, you'll have to find it out heh heh.

(**1/2 out of *****)
A group of horny young teenagers (aren't they all?) break into a furniture warehouse for a night of frivolous games and serious sex (or is it serious games and frivolous sex?) But, wouldn't you know it, a wet-blanket serial killer/madman has to start butchering everyone and spoiling all the fun. This looks even more low-budget than most 80s slashers, but I actually enjoyed it, once things got going. For one thing, the setting is great -- with an old, open elevator and multiple, dark floors full of mannequins and beds, so that the characters never know where the killer is, not to mention each other -- and the survivors are not necessarily the ones you'd expect (you never know who's gonna get it next.) There's the expected nudity and violence, but the mood and suspense place this one slightly above other teens-locked-in-a-building-with-a-psychopath slashers of its kind.
HIGHLIGHT: One girl waits for her boyfriend to come back to bed, unaware that the killer has messily disposed of him and put on his clothes, setting up a very scary scene of mistaken identity.
