Prom Night
Movie • 1980 • Horror
ReportThis slasher movie follows a relentless killer who is out to avenge the death of a young girl who died after being bullied and teased by four of her classmates. Now high-school students, the guilt-ridden kids have kept their involvement a secret, but when they start being murdered, one by one, it's clear that someone knows the truth. Also coping with the past are members of the dead girl's family, most notably her prom-queen sister, Kim Hammond (Jamie Lee Curtis).
This movie contains 24 potentially triggering events.

The cops believe a known adult sexual predator killed a child because of a attempted sexual assault. This isn't true and nothing like that is shown. Basically just presumed pedophilia

For a slasher it's relatively mild for most of the film. Stabbing/slicing of a throat but just blood on the skin is shown, but no detail of flesh cutting. Some kills are cut aways, so the weapon starts to swing but we don't see it. The most excessive is a character is decapitated and it rolls and there is blood but not a lot and it's not really realistic. The head being knocked off looks pretty fake.

yes, all depicting minors
one girl moons a mentally disabled janitor who has been wrongly accused of being a “peeping tom”
one character’s breasts are visible during a sexual scene, and then a few minutes later, during her death
girls shower/locker room scene although i think there is nothing actually shown in those scenes
