They each have a unique personality which keeps the story\u2019s conflict moving forward and they will clash occasionally.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20146\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/campfire-785x589.jpg\" alt=\"campfire\" width=\"785\" height=\"589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/campfire-785x589.jpg 785w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/campfire-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/campfire-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/campfire.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A majority of horror films have a definitive monster or killer, but in ALL GIRLS WEEKEND, it\u2019s the unknown that makes the film engrossing.\u00a0 Bad things continue to happen to the girls and as they keep going in circles on the mountain, they also start to believe that something is keeping them from leaving.\u00a0 Soon, the audience witnesses that a supernatural force is the one that\u2019s after them.\u00a0 The desperation to get home escalates due to the freezing temperatures with occasional snow and sleet falling on them.<\/p>\n<p>The film gets into your head and keeps you wondering throughout.\u00a0 The unknown along with wind and eerie sounds that may be a voice is more terrifying in the mind than big CGI monsters. To make matters worse, they\u2019re forced to find immediate shelter due to an injury. The situation has tempers flaring and the girls patience is wearing thin, but their strong bond has them press on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20143\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AGW-211-820x410-785x393.jpg\" alt=\"AGW-211-820x410\" width=\"785\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AGW-211-820x410-785x393.jpg 785w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AGW-211-820x410-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AGW-211-820x410-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AGW-211-820x410.jpg 820w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Considering the nature and the power that is taking lives, the death scenes were perfect under the circumstances.\u00a0 Some of the girls die a brutal death, but some had their lives taken by a supernatural power as if it just sucked the life right out of them.\u00a0 There\u2019s more to it than the supernatural and the climax makes things clear in regards to the past, current, and future events on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>ALL GIRLS WEEKEND is not a slasher movie, so do not expect or want gore and mutilation, this is a quality thriller horror.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20149\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ruins-785x442.jpg\" alt=\"ruins\" width=\"785\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ruins-785x442.jpg 785w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ruins-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ruins-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ruins.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PRODUCTION NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Filmed on a wooded Georgia mountain, the location was perfect for the film.\u00a0 The girls can\u2019t escape and the rough terrain, abandoned house, and ruins, all contribute to the eerie settings.\u00a0 The limited indoor scenes were ideal locations too including, the house on the mountain and especially the living room with the Lou Simon influenced d\u00e9cor hanging on the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Simon is an well-regarded Director and simply because she knows how to tell a good story by showing the audience and not overusing dialogue.\u00a0 She\u2019s excellent at getting the audience to understand each character without taking up too much time.\u00a0 When you watch a Simon film she does so in a style that makes you feel like you\u2019re there with the characters. She does a great job with ALL GIRLS WEEKEND getting into the audiences head and gets them questioning what\u2019s going on and provides some twists.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

for shock value takes you back to classic horror films.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of praise goes to Jamie Bernadette, Katie Carpenter, Gema Calero, Sharron Calvin, and Karishma Lakhani.\u00a0 These actresses all did a great job and were believable as a group of true friends.\u00a0 They fed off each other\u2019s actions and worked very well together.\u00a0\u00a0 They also deserve credit for braving the harsh
