    **_Mid-80’s cult oddity is creative and entertaining, but loses its mojo in the second half_** Three college females in central Florida are enlisted for an experiment that supposedly improves behavior by a woman of dubious morality (Debbie Laster), the assistant of a genius computer scientist. The latter’s loving daughter (Debra Hunter) falls for a courier who works for the psychotic woman (Dale Midkiff) while a couple of lustful barflies are attracted to the proceedings due to the alluring gals. Havoc ensues. Made by a French crew in Florida, "Nightmare Weekend" (1986) is not an example of great filmmaking, but it is entertaining to a point with imaginative bits, several attractive women and amusing thrills. One of the “imaginative bits” is an Artificial Intelligence puppet named George, which acts as Jessica’s buddy and counselor at home. Debra Hunter (Jessica), Lori Lewis (Annie) and Kimberley Stahl (Pamela) are highlights on the feminine front. Andrea Thompson of the forthcoming NYPD Blue is also on hand as Linda while Kim Dossin plays Mary-Rose. The second half becomes tedious because the flick is sidetracked by redundant softcore sequences and generally just doesn’t live up to the potential of the set-up. There are other issues, such as the dialogue being dubbed and not matching the character’s lips, not to mention somewhat nonsensical filmmaking (storytelling). So, this isn’t a good movie, technically speaking, but it’s kinda fun for those interested in low-budget weirdness and all things mid-80’s, as long as a little nudity doesn’t offend you. The film runs 1 hour, 25 minutes, and was shot in Ocala, Florida. GRADE: C

Cheat

On the surface it's believed to be another urban legend - a supernatural being from the afterlife is violently killing anyone who cheats on their significant other in the small college town of Silvercreek, Pennsylvania. But the town's unusually high suicide rate is finally convincing both locals and college students that everything is not as it seems. When Maeve - a female college student - sleeps with Charlie, the married man of the host family she is staying with, both sense the deadly curse is closing in on them. Unable to get anyone to believe them, Maeve and Charlie seek out a local history student to help find answers and figure out a way to defend themselves. It all comes undone, however, as several people are horrifically killed by the savage being - one-by-one at a rapid pace. Eventually, Maeve, Charlie and the few survivors band together in an attempt to defeat the monster once and for all.
