Usually these films only occur over the period of one night, might involve a date from hell, and/or a bizarre series of encounters with various odd characters in an unfamiliar and dingy urban area. Very popular film to make in the 80's. However the overall feel and tone is a series of horrific unescapable random events that begins at dusk and doesn't end till sunrise.
