Prom Night

The killer is Alex the younger brother of Robin the girl that fell from the window years earlier when her classmates' practical joke got her killed. Alex secretly followed his sister and saw her demise and her so called friends cover it up. The last on his "death list" to be "punnished" is Nick...his surviving sister's longtime boyfriend (all the others and their loved ones are slain). During the crowning ceremony Lou...Kim (Alex's sis)'s bitter ex who got suspended thanks to Alex...stuns Nick and takes his place. By doing this Alex not fully aware it's not really Nick ends up decapitating him sending his severed head rolling out onto the walkway causing a panicked stampede. Kim finds Nick and tries to help him to safety, but is confronted by Alex. He attacks Nick and they struggle on the ground, Kim grabs the axe and when she's sure her boyfriend is out of the way, she strikes Alex in the head. Alex still masked turns around, Kim is able to get a good look at his eyes seeing how familiar they are to her, she suddenly realises in horror that she has just struck her own brother. Alex stumbles outside of the school and Lt. McBride points a gun at him. Kim runs out and tells the officer not to shoot. She bends down, takes the mask off her brother and cradles his head in her arms. He's wearing smeared lipstick on his face. Before he dies, Alex cries out that he saw what happened six years ago. "They did it," he says.

Visible crew/equipment: When Kim is in the empty gym dancing, Wendy shows up to confront her. When the camera is on Kim you can see the boom mic coming from the bottom of the screen.

More quotes from Prom Night

Question: Why in the world is Alex, when unmasked at the end, wearing lipstick? Symbolic or something?

Rob245

Answer: Alex is not the typical one dimensional slasher serial killer, but rather a complex individual with conflicting motivations. The lipstick is a symbol that he is portraying the hurtful people from his past even as he kills them.

Answer: The film doesn't provide an answer (which I think is a good thing). My interpretation is that Alex has somehow absorbed his sister's spirit, symbolically (not literally), and is avenging her death *as* Robin, in a way. Her name is his last word before he dies. A scene was shot but cut which revealed that Robin and Alex were twins. That scene was added back to the television edit of Prom Night.

I thought they said that when Kim was telling Nick on the hilltop where the beach was that Alex and Robin were TWINS! And what happened to Mr. And Mrs. Hammond? They "disappeared" after Kim and her father danced! So many QUESTIONS! And when did they say LOU was KIM'S EX? Missed that one.
