Prom Night is the quintessential slasher with its crime from the past being righted in the present, bitchy girl, horny boys, unifying event and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Published by January 25th, 2007 in MOVIE REVIEWS (ALL) and Movie Reviews 80's. 0 CommentsTexas Chainsaw Massacre 2″ was basically dead on arrival when it snuck into theaters in mid 1986. Could you blame it? “TCM 2″ had everything going against it: It was a pointless and dated sequel with a terribly distracting score and no big-name stars. Well, there was Dennis Hopper, fresh off “My Science Project.”
