The Single Girls (also known as Bloody Friday and Private School) is a 1973 American exploitation film directed by Beverly Sebastian and Ferd Sebastian, and starring Claudia Jennings, Jean Marie Ingels and Greg Mullavey.

Ferd Sebastian said ". . . it was like a lot of the people were in the 70s. Searching for love in all the wrong places. It was meant to be a light, sexy show with a murderer on the loose."[2]

Plot

A group of men and women travel to a Caribbean resort to discover themselves sexually, but unfortunately one of them has also discovered that they like to murder people, too.[3]
