Prom Night
Directed by Paul Lynch
For six long years, Hamilton High School seniors Kelly, Jude, Wendy and Nick have been hiding the truth of what happened to 10-year-old Robin Hammond the day her broken body was discovered near an old abandoned convent. They kept secret how they taunted Robin – backed her into a corner until, frightened, she stood on a window ledge and fell to her death. Fearing they’d be held responsible, they vowed never to tell. However, someone else was there that day and now, is ready to exact their revenge – on prom night.
In this slasher essential, a masked killer stalks four teenagers at their high school's senior prom.
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen, Casey Stevens

One of my favs from the 80s
I love OG slashers
4. 5 skulls!! Hubby and I loved this movie. Story was intriguing and characters relatable. Really intense up to the end. Wished for a better conclusion.
nice classic! not my fav but still enhoy watching from time to time.
I have mixed feelings about this movie. It's entertaining, that's for sure. I watched all the way to the end because I was genuinely curious about who the killer was, I kept changing my guess and just when I was 100% sure I had it figured out, the movie proved me wrong, so that was fun! However, the movie feels more like a teenage drama than a proper slasher. The last 15 minutes are when it really ramps up, but the killings are so rushed and lame that if you blink you’ll miss them. At one point, they don’t even show the murder of one of the main characters, which is wild considering it’s literally the plot of the movie! Also, the fight scenes are SO quiet. I found the whole soundtrack on Spotify, and it turns out a lot of ambient tracks weren’t used in the movie. Idk why they didn't use them, but it feels like a missed opportunity. If you’re into 80s nostalgia, I’d recommend it for that vibe alone. I'll give the second one a chance, hopefully it's better
