Psycho Girls

About This Movie

Psycho Girls is a curious blend of comedy and horror from 1986, directed by Jerry Ciccoritti. It has this unpredictable tone that shifts between absurdity and genuine tension. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to the overall chaotic atmosphere as a woman escapes from an asylum alongside her two equally unhinged companions. The practical effects are surprisingly effective for its budget, with a few moments that might make you chuckle and cringe at the same time. The performances, particularly from the leads, bring a quirky energy—sometimes it's hard to tell if they're in on the joke or not. It's one of those flicks that feels like it straddles the line between a dark comedy and slasher. Definitely leaves an impression.
