A seagull wants to fly faster than the rest of the flock. They banish him for doing so and he meets other seagulls.
Total crap. This is one of the most boring films I have ever suffered through. The video looked like all B-roll and the voice-over was all whispered. If you want to know how to make me hate a movie, take this as an example. Critics hated it for good reason and Roger Ebert walked out of a theater because of it. Not even Plan 9 from Outer Space or Santa Claus Conquers the Martians can eject Ebert from a theater! My main complaint is that it was just so fucking boring. I'm done and rate it shit. DO NOT WATCH!
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Girls Nite Out A.K.A. The Scaremaker (1982)
An American slasher horror directed by Robert Deubel, starring Hal Holbrook and Rutanya Alda.
A student went crazy at college many years ago and has recently hung himself in a mental institution. Students are being killed at the same college and someone is making phone calls, pretending to be the dead guy from the mental institution.
Just flat-out horrid. The plot was unoriginal and barely held my attention. There were too many secondary characters, but no main protagonist. Dialogue and acting seemed like an afterthought. It all seemed poorly written and unconvincing. Sets and costumes were mundane, looking like normal students at a normal college of the '80s. Camera-work was uncreative, but I could see everything that was happening. Audio was poorly mixed. Dialogue was low and music was high. It seemed like the filmmakers were following a recipe to make a crappy horror flick. IMDb lists a rating of 4.4/10, AllMovie lists 2/5 AllMovie Rating with 1.5/5 User Ratings and Rotten Tomatoes lists 24% Audience Score for an average of 34.5%. Finally, something that I agree with internet consensus on. I rate this bad because it is. DO NOT WATCH!
