Prom Night

Prom Night (1980) distills the dread of teenage remorse into a single, claustrophobic evening. Four students, haunted by the accidental death of a peer years ago, find themselves ensnared in a sinister game at their prom. A masked killer’s relentless hunt through the dance floor and corridors transforms the festive night into a chilling tableau of guilt and retribution. The film’s stark, confined spaces amplify the protagonists’ terror, as the past inexorably catches up with them.
