      My thought was the Mother was the killer like in Friday The 13th
      For one she always seemed off and the killer was very feminine with the glitter mask and thin body build

    The lipstick thing I think is mean't to be psychological, the killer dressed more feminine and weared Lipstick because he wanted take revenge as his twin sister.

      @randytaylor2485 5 років тому +10

      JRockSamurai Shane I don't know if that would be accurate. His sister was still a little kid who didn't wear makeup. It could have been a production flaw as to make the red lips appear to be bleeding.

    • @LucyLioness100
      @LucyLioness100 4 роки тому +5

      Randy Taylor that’s probably more likely. The ‘making of’ feature did not say anything about the killer doing a Norman Bates type act

    I like that the killings took so long since it felt more like a drama. Then when the murders start it got spooky especially the killer chases Wendy through the school & it’s so satisfying when he gets her and butchers her (plus we don’t actually see it).

    Prom Night is really solid! A fan on UA-cam apparently reedited the movie into what the director envisioned and removed the subplot with the escaped mental patient and added back in scenes of more character development and it's an interesting edit of the film!

    A scene was cut where it is revealed that Robin, and Alex were twins. Because it made the killer too obvious. Also there is foreshadowing when the intended male victim misses the killer’s call.

    • @LB-gz3ke
      @LB-gz3ke 3 роки тому +1

      I think it was still pretty clear they were twins. They were wearing identical striped shirts in the beginning. Jamie Lee says little sis would have been a junior going to her first prom. And the little brother going to the same prom has to also be a junior.

  • @justinlee7131
    @justinlee7131 3 роки тому +1

    Best soundtrack ever! I like the phone scene where the killer is calling the group one by one, it's done in sequence to foreshadow thier deaths,,,Wendy takes a pause before she picks up the phone, foreshadowing how she almost gets away. Jamie Lee Curtis misses phone call, survives. Clever!

  • @fabianzimmermann5495
    @fabianzimmermann5495 4 роки тому +2

    Watching this movie, I realized, that I was way too used to watching Carpenter movies. I just kept looking at the background, to see, if the killer would show up, which he of course never did.
    The look of the killer isn‘t that great, but more realistic.
    I really liked seing Leslie Nielsen in a more serious role. I generally liked the side characters better than the main cast. For a moment, I thought that Nielsen would be the killer, when he disappiered in the end, but in the end fight, the guy moved too quickly, so I guessed it wasn‘t him.
    I think the prom scene itself was pretty good, especially the scene, where Curtis and her boyfriend were dancing. Probably my favorite scene of the movie.

  • @brion0220
    @brion0220 3 роки тому +2

    I got so confused by the ending (maybe because I watched the last 30 mins a week after I watched the first hour). At first I thought the boyfriend was the brother at the end - so I thought Jamie Lee and the brother were fighting the killer. Then when when we got the reveal I didnt know who it was - until we got the flashback of the brother. Then it finally clicked. Also, I have to admit, after them cutting away on every kill, the decapitation caught me off guard. It was well done.

I haven't seen this movie in a few years but doesn't Alex's Mother ask if anyone had seen her lipstick because she was going out for dinner? Stage Fright, Just Before Dawn, Happy Birthday To Me, Pieces and Slumber Party Massacre are some good 80's slashers to check out if you haven't seen them yet.
    Edit: Just scrolled through the movie and at 45 minutes in Jamie Lee's mother ask if she had seen her red lipstick. I don't think it ever explains why Alex decided to wear it though.

    The lipstick was another red herring. The filmmaker wanted to create the illusion that the killer could be a woman like in the same year of the film Friday the 13th Jason's mother a woman was the killer. So the audience would think that the killer would be possibly Kim's mother or Kim herself or any other woman in the movie who would want revenge for Robin's death.

I like the fact that she is proud of her start in horror films unlike Kevin Bacon (Friday The 13th). She also thanks John Carpenter for giving her start in Halloween when they couldn't get Annie Lockhart. And you are 100% right about Lou, she is way too fine.

    Great review, I've never been a huge fan of this movie but I LOVE the Wendy chase scene in the school!
    I would love to see you do a review of Just Before Dawn (1981), it's a really underrated backwoods slasher with some interesting elements. I think you'd like it!

    Great Review Drumdum!! 🔥🔥🔥 I definitely agree with you as far as De Palma similarities I never noticed that. It definitely is more stylish like Palma. Also love the fact that they show killer calling them it def does set it apart from other slashers.
    This one is my FAVORITE slasher fr!!!! I literally love it so much. I seen it for the first time at 10 years old and it’s just so nostalgic for me. The killers look is amazing, man I thought you would mention Wendy’s Chase scene it’s a STANDOUT! The movie ends so sad too😭

    Nice, I’ve been waiting for this one! This is one of my favourite slasher films. I love the disco feel, I love just how creepy it can be, I love the characters, and that slow throat slit is, to me, one of the scariest scenes from a slasher film. This movie is what would happen if you mixed Carrie, Black Christmas, and Halloween, and man, is it a good mix. I’m glad to own the Synapse blu-ray.
    Like I’ve been saying Lee, check out May. It is, to me, the best slasher of the 2000s, and I know you love slashers. It only really becomes a slasher in the last half hour, but everything before that is just as perfect. It’s a great look at awkwardness, loneliness, and the effect it can have. It’s funny and charming at first, and gradually starts to become heartbreaking. Sorry if I sound like I’m pestering, but I’d love May to get more recognition, and I’d also love to see your thoughts.
    Great review, as always!

    SO glad you reviewed this movie and revisited it. It’s definitely got style. But the generic soundtrack (that they did because they couldn’t get the rights to I Will Survive and other songs) makes it a horror classic. It’s just FUN.
    I don’t think a movie has ever made me sympathetic to every victim AND the killer. The characters were genuinely likeable.

    Great review bro I bought this movie on DVD on eBay it also came with the remake I actually liked it the Remake better but going by what you said on your review is that the DVD copy was a lot darker and you couldn't really tell what was going on in some scenes and that's why I didn't like the originals much because I really can't tell what the hell's going on at the end of the movie so I may have to just chalk it up to a bad copy get the Blu-ray copy and check it out again

    Just watched your review of Prom Night. I'm also a huge fan of this flick. Yes of course it's got its quirks. BUT! It's a cult classic that's just a solid good slasher. Jamie Lee made 1980 the year age became THEE Scream Queen. Prom Night, Terror Train and The Fog all came out in 1980. Great review on o e of my old favs. I gotta suggestion for ya. How about a review on the Changeling? Also a 1980 gem. Hands down one of my top 3 all time fav movies.

  • @orenthal01

    Because of wardrobe, it was never, ever apparent in Halloween, but in this film, we all see how absurdly awesome JLC's tits were. And that deserves retroactive respect to Carpenter for not going cheesebal and focusing on that in Halloween! This film to me was entertaining but ultimately forgettable. Seemed too derivative of so many things that came before it. The only reason I watched it was because of the Halloween connection with JLC, and I don't think I've watched it in 30 years. And yet somehow I sleep at night just fine.

      I'll just say that the set-up for 3 is that she escapes hell and returns to the high school she died. She helps a guy become more popular in school, in exchange for killing those she believes will get in his way.
      It's got some inventive kills and a decent twist ending, but the story leaves a little to be desired. Also, look out for an onscreen cameo from the boom mic in one shot of the film.

    Cheesy 80's Slasher fun at it's best. Prom Night is a great watch but don't watch the remake. Looking forward to the review on the Prowler, a very good slasher but lost in the mire of time. You should like it. You should also review Terror Train, while nowhere near the quality of Halloween or even Prom Night it's a must for the early Jaime Lee trifecta of the early 80's and yet another films form our friends to the Great White North.
