Revealing mistakes: The long shots of the school bus on the mountain road, both in the early scenes of it leaving the school and the later ones of its returning, show only two or three people in the bus, even though in the interior shots the bus is crowded with all the girls. more

"13 Frightened Girls" is probably the most bizarre movie I have ever seen. It is much weirder than anything by David Lynch or Bunuel or anything experimental because it seems to be so precisely uncontrolled. In all of his films, William Castle loves to mix an enormously accesible homey atmosphere with incredibly outlandish or odd details. That actually sounds a lot like David Lynch, except that Mr. Castle does not have conventional movie-making integrity, which makes him so much more fun! This one has 13 girls, all from different countries around the world. They are all diplomat's daughters, and they all get to speak in a different accent and have their own musical cue, sometimes lasting for about 3 seconds before the next girl comes on the screen. The movie mixes up the absolute benign-ness of a TV sitcom with the gruesome suggestiveness of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Nothing seems to be planned or reached for. The movie is amazingly neurotic, and it shifts gears all the time, with lightening-speed... It can be off-putting, but I liked it quite a bit. Also, filmed in very friendly, very pretty technicolor... Like Jodie Foster said in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (in her only good performance)... "Weeeeird!!!"
