This is my theory: If you look closely, when Adam takes off Dorothy's mask, she has a blow on her face, specifically on her cheek, as if she had been hit, Adam attacked Dorothy and put her in the murderer's costume, when she falls down the stairs next to with Kate, it feels like someone is pushing him (I mean Dorothy when she appears in the costume) Adam is the killer from the beginning, Dorothy was never involved, the twist ending is very good.

[@itswessums]

The ending of this movie still has me absolutely SHOOOOOOK. Haven't stopped thinking about it since!!! Ps Marley Shelton is THE scream queen period

[@kaseyh.1021]

Glad you discovered this nostalgic slasher flick and you’re right Denise Richards is unbelievably striking in this

[@dejaalston8672]

The ending was bittersweet due to Jeremy getting his revenge but at the same time Kate lost all of her friends.

[@travisarcamone1451]

Also all of the deaths relate to how they rejected him in the opening at the dance. Go back and re watch. And he framed Dorothy just like she framed him as attacking her

[@dejaalston8672]

In my opinion I don't understand how can Dorothy be a social outcast. I mean sure she was overweight as a child but she was rich. I'm pretty sure if her classmate's knew that she would be popular just like Shelly, Lily, Paige, and Kate. At least she had friends than having a lonely childhood.

[@dejaalston8672]

I love how Kate says " Maybe later" it was so sweet and genuine. 😍😩

[@dejaalston8672]

Paige's reaction when Dorothy confesses that Jeremy never attacked her was so cruel and heartless. Even though she was indeed shocked but at the same time she was very nonchalant and dismissive. 😭😞🥺

[@ceejay3121]

I can never get over how brilliantly casted the kids were in the beginning. They looked just like their adult counterparts.

[@dejaalston8672]

I always admire Jeremy's confidence and bravery to ask his classmate's to dance despite him being a social outcast. 😍😎👍💯

[@Gorgeousme30]

I love the elements of irony and foreshadowing in this movie!

[@BrianSmithNow]

Jeremy: "Wanna dance?"

[@MultiGreenG]

Yayyyy. Finally someone reacts to this movie. I remember watching this as a kid and loving it. There's something about the cupid mask that is so creepy.

[@dejaalston8672]

The Cupid Mask is so simple yet effective and terrifying as hell. 😰😱

[@BrianSmithNow]

"Rest in jacuzzi." Lol.

[@djr6876]

One of the reasons I LOVE slasher movies is because they employ different devices and methods for each kill.

[@bettyboop8241]

"paige did say she rather be boiled alive" omg

[@NikkieTwix]

I caught this on tv when I was a kid and I’ve loved it ever since! I’ve always been a huge Buffy fan too so I flipped when David popped up 🤣

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

Cool fact: In the beginning of the movie, each girl's rejection of Jeremy foreshadows their fate. Paige says she'd rather be boiled alive than dance with him. She is later electrocuted in the hot tub. Lily says "Ewwww!" and she gets the maggots in the candy. Shelley says "In your dreams, loser." And she is killed while laying down. Always thought that was a cool part of the movie. Brutal irony for these women.

"A bad rip-off of scream and if that's the case I'm here for it" relatable
