Spoiler warning..I saw this on vacation after renting it from a mom and pop video store. At the end, I remember the Final Girl escaping by jumping off a roof. Another sorority sister, the mean one, was doing some kind of dance on the roof while the killer watched from a second story window. What the heck did any of that mean? Anyone know?

as a big fan of horror films i do not like this film it could have been so good but sadly there were stuff in the film that just ruined the whole movieso 2 years ago a college girl was killed at her sorority house now we are in the present time 1980 and some of the girls Shy Nancy Pretty Melody funny Leia Sam Trisha Cynthiaalso we have their boyfriendsNerdy Alex T.J Tom BlakeCynthia gets stabbed to death walking outside to see her boyfriend Trisha has her throat slice while getting beer from the fridge Tom gets killed the next morning while searching for Trisha Blake gets shot in the head with a crospo while having sex with Sam Sam gets decapitated while having sex with Blakethe next day we are just down to Nancy, melody, Leia, Alex, and T.J all of whom seem to care less that half of their friends are missing ??????Nancy goes out for a walk by herself and find Ralph the creepy handyman of the sorority dead the group yet again seems to care less about it Leia decides to make out with the cop Melody and T.J decide to make out with each other Nancy and Alex decide to make out with each otherLeia goes to take a shower and finds Sam head in the shower and the cop dead to who has a knife in his back the killer appears right next to Leia what's gonna happen the world may never knowT.J and Melody are making out with T.J gets hanged with what appears to be a wire around his neckMelody runs away and bumps into Nancy and Alex who also find Sam's head in the showerLeia apparently is still alive but now she's dancing around and singing like she's on drugs or something Nancy and Melody run downstairs and find a Santa killer downstairs who is indeed ms.Jensen who is upset because her daughter was the one killed in the beginning of the film 2 years agoMelody runs outside to find the pilot to the airplane in which the boys arrived by while trying to start the plane the killer starts the helicopter propeller for them causing both to get brutally killedNancy knocks ms.Jensen off the balcony killing her but apparently there is a 2nd killer of the detectives who is ms.Jensen husband he tries to kill Nancy but Alex shoots him killing himAlex and Nancy run off while Leia continues to dance and sing like an idiot the endi don't like this film the main problem is the quality it is so dark at many parts of movie that you can barely ( if not ) see anything going on also it is very hard to hear what the characters say a lotThe killings are all really good but you don't really get to see them happeningalso half the group goes missing and the other don't seem to care even when the find the dead body of the handyman which does not make any sense to mealso there is very little detail in the movie like what did the killer do to Leia???? i don't like this film it could have been really good but there were so many things wrong with this movie so i don't like this movie at all

TO ALL A GOODNIGHT was arguably the first slasher flick to feature Santa Claus as a killer. In my opinion, it is also way better than Christmas EVIL, or SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT. Unfortunately, it has become all but forgotten by horror fans.The plot revolves are 5 young women, who are boarders at the exclusive Calvin Finishing School who are staying behind for the holidays. They decide to drug their housemother and invite their boyfriends over for a late night frolic. During the night, two of them are murdered. The next day, the rest of the group discover their friend's bodies and they soon must fight for their lives as they begin dying one, by one.Granted, TO ALL A GOODNIGHT is far from a good film, but it does try. It doesn't present itself anymore than just being a straight slasher. They are a few odd moments in the film. One having to do with one of the girls ballet dancing on the balcony (I'll let you find out that one for yourself.) The only other complaint that I have is that the ending felt rushed and anti-climatic.Horror fans will be pleased to know that it has one heck of the body count and the gore is decent. We have a death by a wire garrote, another at the receiving end of a private plane's blades, a decapitation and so on and so on.Overall, it's an entertaining and woefully underrated slasher film that needs to see a resurrection on DVD. If you can locate a copy on ebay (did I mention it's rather rare?) pick it up. It makes a nice addition to any hardcore horror movie collector.

A typical 80s slasher with teenage girls getting stalked and murdered by a masked killer. But giving the fact that this is one of the first slasher movies to come out, and has an original costume idea with the killer dressing up as Santa Claus.This movie does have a lot of gore and a high body count, but it can get a bit dull at times. This movie does have faults like at times it's so dark you can't really see what the hell is going on, and the best parts of the movie happens at night. The acting is anything but good. We get a lot of overacting and some of the most pathetic screams I have ever witnessed. These girls look like they have never experienced fear in their lives."To All A Goodnight" isn't a bad movie, it may be weak and slow in parts but it's still highly enjoyable and it follows the slasher formula quite well. I pretty much guessed who the killer was at the end but there is more this has a double twist ending and If you're a fan of masked slasher movies from the 80s I definitely suggest you give this one a shot because it is quite gory and as I said before, the body count is relatively high.The killings are brill though we get bloody stabs, some slit throats, a rock jammed into ones head a brutal decapitation, an arrow through head, an axe in head and the bit where the two people get chopped up by a helicopter propeller.All in all i'd say Fairly enjoyable slasher which gets a bit too slow at many times. Follows the basic slasher formula and has a high body count. A definite must for anyone who enjoys the occasional 80s slasher. If you've seen many of these before however, you might feel that it is a bit too unoriginal even though it was one of the first in its class.
