Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
Prom Night is a slasher film focused on a personal vendetta and the immediate threat of a killer, with its core conflict and resolution remaining apolitical and devoid of broader ideological commentary.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, but its primary roles are not explicitly recast for DEI purposes. The narrative maintains a traditional horror structure, focusing on suspense and survival without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
The character Lisa, a friend of the protagonist, was portrayed as white in the 1980 original film. In the 2008 remake, the character Lisa Padgett, who serves a similar role as a friend to the protagonist, is portrayed by a Black actress, constituting a race swap.
The film 'Prom Night' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its plot centers on a group of heterosexual high school students and a stalker, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences depicted throughout the movie.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2008 remake of "Prom Night" maintains the original film's character genders for its main roles. While the specific identity of the killer differs, both versions feature a male antagonist, and no established character from the source material is portrayed with a different gender.
