Prom Night IV: Deliver Us From Evil (1991) – Clay Borris.

'He is evil beyond imagination!!!!!'

Excluding Halloween, Friday the 13th, and the often overlooked Critters Franchise, I can't immediately think of a still viable 'Part IV', hells onions!!! even The Godfather stumble-bummed at Part III! Happily, this amiable Canadian slasher has just enough plasma in the tank to keep the 90s slashing! Killer priests, and maniacal monks have been pulp horror staples ever since the gory daze of dog-eared penny dreadfuls, so freaky Father Jonus's (James Carver) serially slut-slaying, nookie-neutering evangelist is in exalted company! Suggesting not just a little irony, religious dogma has had far more of a long-lastingly positive effect on perpetuating horror fiction than it has in saving souls!

Not unlike the equally crazed father Malius in Happy Hell Night, the saintly snuffing commences once Jonus escapes from his subterranean cell, getting his cassock in a terminal twist over all the ungodly preponderance of teenage horn-dogging. Undeniably generic fare, Clay Borris's entertainingly formulaic slasher maintains watchability due to its lava hot nubility, tantalizing flashes of Victoria Secret'd T&A, and another driving score from slasher supremo Paul Zaza. With a goodly pace, some nasty kills, and a suspenseful, splendidly stabby climax, slasher fans could do a lot worse than this lively Canuck kill-fest. I believe that organized religion inculcates a singular form of derangement within its acolytes, so father Jonus might also be interpreted as a dire warning over the inherent dangers of dabbling with the good book! For such an initially timorous young virgin, Meagan (Nikki De Boer) proved to be an especially spunky final girl!
