    The ending of this one is SO tragic. Kim's sister dies, all the killers either befriend her or are awful to her, her brother tries to exact pretty understandable revenge (minus Slick) and Kim ends up killing her own brother to save the guy who killed her sister. People are always saying they want a slasher sequel where the final girl from the first snaps and becomes the killer and this honestly would have been the perfect one to do it, she would have been fully justified.

      "Hello Mary Lou" made zero sense for me regarding Prom Night. It was trying to be 4 better films in one, and was veered into comedy horror territory as the "Golden" age of 80s slashers was long gone 7 years ago.

Also if you're looking for another independent horror film, especially one starring Jamie Lee Curtis; I'd recommend you start with The Fog (1980). Jamie made a couple of indi-slashers from this era, but I'd recommend you start with The Fog. Also, it's a heavily atmospheric ghost story, directed by John Carpenter himself.

    Awww… so happy you watched this! It’s been a lifelong favorite of mine. I have so many fond memories watching this movie through the years! Jamie Lee cemented her scream queen title with this, Terror Train and The Fog back to back to back. I am with you- the story is simple but I think the atmosphere really sucks you in. It feels very slide of life at times and grounded in a way some slashers from the era weren’t. We find the characters sympathetic; the victims and the killer (once the motive is revealed especially!). And the SOUNDTRACK is disco perfection. All of the songs are “originals” but most are soundalikes to huge hits from the time. The Blu-ray has a really fantastic featurette about the making of the film. I hope you watch some more of the lesser known slashers like this- even tho this one has 3 “sequels” and a remake, all of which are in name only. Love it! ❤

    This is, by far, one of the best 80s slashers. It won't win any Oscars, but I've always believed it was well-made, it's atmospheric, and the acting is a cut above a LOT of other slashers of the day. The fact that Kim killed her brother just means she and her family are going to need a lot of therapy in the future. There's another cut of this movie on CZcams that excludes that Leonard Murch/Schizo killer guy and focuses more on the family and their trauma since Robin's death. It also points to the dad as the killer in a few scenes. I like the other cut, but either way, I love this movie, and I'm glad you love it, too.

    SO ecstatic to see you watch this, it is one of my absolute favs! you really nailed it with how the movie is simplistic and gives us very little, but yet gives us so much at the same time. it’s just the perfect little slasher film and Jamie slays. Wendy still has one of my favorite chase scenes as well! 💛 also i really admire and respect your support of the strike! i’m so down for more indie films!!!

    I love the first 9 minutes when you're just talking about the strike, etc. I love the solidarity with the workers and honestly, it's just fun listening to you talk. You could make a 3 hour video just talking about whatever and I'd watch the whole thing.

    You are the only reaction channel I personally follow respecting the strikes. I'm sure it would be too risky for a lot of reactors, including you, so I think you deserve even more credit for this. Applause girl!
    There's PLENTY of old and new indie horror to choose from for the coming weeks/months and I'm sure we're all here for it.

    Watched this over the weekend, so campy and fun! And surprisingly restrained for a horror, they really took their time. Idk if anyone has mentioned it yet, but I believe It Follows is totally independent, so you can finally finish off Tara’s list of elevated horror!

    Thank you for speaking up on this. I agree that this is a larger issues on worker rights. This is a wage issue so many workers in different jobs are facing and it’s important we stand in solidarity with one another.
    Also my first thought when I turned the video on is how FABULOUS you look!
    Wendy has one of the best chase scenes in a slasher in my opinion. It’s up there with Helen Shivers and Gale Weathers.
    Great reaction ❤

I really hope Freddy’s Dead isn’t on your list of needing to wait to watch together cause I know how much your wanting to see what’s gonna happen with Nancy Thompson on episode after Freddy’s Dead. Of course I watched it decades ago so I’m burning up with anticipation for you to watch as well. Again lots of Love on your supporting in your ways to help what’s going on. 😊

    I highly recommend two that I think you would like: THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982) - a cult classic considered to be a feminist slasher, written and directed by women - and also STAGEFRIGHT/DELIRIA (1987), which is a very stylish and creepy forgotten gem with influences of giallo and an unforgettable killer outfit.

    I'd suggest foreign films too if you wanna avoid any grey area films too? Or like super old ones in the public domain. The original Ringu abd Ju-On are great foreign options alongside The Devil's Backbone I think?
    The Prom Night sequels are absolutely batshit insane and are such a different type film that you'll love.
    Will you be watching Scream the series too? I think you'd get some fun out of it and keeps very similar vibes as the main series.

    Fun footnote about PROM NIGHT is that after it's theatrical release, NBC premiered it in prime time as their Sunday Night Movie in February 1981, before it had even gotten a cable run. It may have been the first "slasher" movie to air on free TV; HALLOWEEN didn't air on TV until October 1981, also on NBC. Very few of these movies ever got run on network TV, they were obviously considered too violent. Most of the time they went directly into syndication on individual TV stations, if at all.

    Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1989)
    & Prom Night IV: Deliver Us From Evil (1992)
    Then there is the remake of the same name, from 2008.

  • @scottvanhille5688
    @scottvanhille5688 Před 11 měsíci +3

    Jamie is so good in horror films, that's her genre as an actor. Hello, Mary Lou, Prom Night II is the sequel. She's been versatile in trying others throughout the years, but this really suited her. She did three films in 1980 (my birth year): This one, Terror Train (with David Copperfield), and The Fog. She was busy as an actor all throughout the 80's. A different side of Jamie would be the film Road Games. So different seeing Leslie Nielsen in a horror film, not usually his forte. Nice reaction. I do suggest the 1981 horror film The Funhouse starring Elizabeth Berridge. She was the "babe" in the it. Thanks! Oh, btw, a unique sci-fi film to check out with Jennifer Connelly is called Phenomena. Donald Pleasance aka Dr. Loomis is in it.

It would be fun to see you watch Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2, which has nothing to do with this one but it is great as well. Many people prefer the second one (not me, but I get it). Don’t bother with any of the sequels after 2.
