IPreferEvidence A super cheap shot on video slasher from the 80s with crappy music. The story is about a killer who is referred to as the "ripper"(very original) who stalks and kills female fashion models. The story is very basic but It could be good. Unfortunately its not, there's a sub plot about a photographer and his love troubles which takes way too much time and the film is mostly just boring mush. Even the kills aren't that good. Sure there's some blood but they seem to screw up every kill with either some kind of silly gimmick(like using still shots only or some really weird filters and such) and of course there's a 'twist' at the end but its very predictable. The movie is really dated and some people like myself like that but I don't think that even the most hardcore 80s slasher fans would like this. Its boring and as mediocre as it gets.

Toronto85 What do you get when you combine a crazed serial killer, the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld, and a creepy lesbian? You get Night Ripper of course! Night Ripper is a hilariously bad SOV slasher film from 1986. This one definitely falls under the category of 'so bad it's watchable'. The acting is awful, the music is pure 80's, the whole thing is a big cheesy mess. Yet, I liked it...The plot? "Models" are being murdered by a psychopath in town. Not really sure if all of the girls were models though. Most of the victims are people we don't see for more than two-three minutes. Every time a young girl pops up on the screen, they are killed off right away so there is no time to even tell if they are models. Anyways, the main suspect is Mitch, a photographer. He has got to be the soup nazi from Seinfeld, just saying. So we see him being all creepy, and then this other woman enters the movie. She is a lesbian and seems to hate models therefore she is another suspect. The whole thing ends in a Mannequin factory where the killer is revealed while trying to kill our main heroine Jill.Night Ripper is the ultimate cheesy 80's slasher. The acting is awful, the music is terrible, yet it is very watchable (at least once). The death scenes are a little gory, but not overdone. Check it out if you can.6/10

HumanoidOfFlesh In "Night Ripper" serial killer is targeting young glamour models.He or she stabs them to death with a knife and mutilates their bodies.The finale takes place in mannequin factory among the rows of creepy looking mannequins.I love mannequins,so I had a blast watching the denouement of "Night Ripper".Jeff Hathcock's low-budget SOV slasher is an enjoyable and hugely enthusiastic movie.There are some extremely boring scenes of car driving,but the murder scenes are dirt-cheap and bloody.Some lines of dialogue are priceless for example ""I was a butcher for five years and now I'm a photographer.Anything can happen."Yeah,right-anything can happen during watching "Night Ripper".7 night rippers out of 10.

Cujo108 Night Ripper is a blast! A guy who does glamour shots for models and the like gets mixed up in a series of mutilation killings. The murders bare a resemblance to those committed by Jack the Ripper, and the victims are all models. Naturally, the photographer becomes a suspect. He also falls for one of his models and must try to protect her from the true killer.Shot on video, this film looks better and less amateurish than some of the SOV films I've seen. Perhaps it's just me, but I find that SOV can actually make a film more endearing in certain cases. This is one of them. But anyway, to get back to the gist of things, Night Ripper is heavy on the cheese factor. The so-called love story between the lead and his new squeeze makes for some solid amusement. We also get a pair of cops who are way past being past their prime, yet they give chase to a fleeing suspect anyway. Then there's the other photographer, himself a suspect, who mugs for the camera on a nonstop basis.The killer's identity is kept a secret until the climax, though I managed to accurately guess who it was from the character's very first scene. As if I wasn't sure enough already, there's also a later scene that's a dead giveaway if you've been paying attention. The climax takes place in a mannequin factory, and the final death scene of the film is something to see. Not because of gore, mind you, but the way in which it happens.A cheesy delight, Night Ripper is entertaining SOV slasher goodness. It seems to be quite rare, but if you come across a copy, don't hesitate to snag it.
