Snow makes for a capable lead as the sole survivor of her family's massacre at the hands of an obsessed teacher (Jonathan Schaech), who returns three years later to finish his campaign on the eve of her senior prom. While no one's idea of a classic horror film, the Paul Lynch-directed Prom Night offered viewers a modest whodunit angle in between the killings; here, the villain's identity is known from the get-go, and what's left is a string of mechanical stalkings (which feature a surprisingly modest amount of blood) and reams of turgid teenspeak, which is handled as best as possible by Snow and her cast mates. The end result is a dull, suspense-free chiller that manages to make its mediocre source material seem inspired by comparison. Older moviegoers may note the presence of actors Idris Elba and James Ransone, both used so well on The Wire, and so thoroughly wasted here. --Paul Gaita Stills from Prom Night (click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Not A Bad Movie. Its worth Your time. Good to add to your Collection I would buy a used Dvd copy of this movie from like BlockBuster 3 for $20 sale. But get the unrated version. Not as bad as people are saying. Rating: - There's nothing to see here Whoever did the poster art for this movie should get an award. It is far and away the best part of this movie. The lead actress and the detective were pretty good in their roles, but the movie has zero tension and the bad guy is particularly unscary. Rating: - Prom Night - Poor I can sum this movie quickly: poor acting, poor plot, and faults in the plot. Rating: - Maybe It's a Night to Remember, But This Is a Movie I'd Like To Forget... 28 years ago a fairly successful horror movie was released starring the then-reigning scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis ("Halloween"), and dealt with teenagers being murdered on what should be one of the happiest nights of their lives, Prom Night. Fast-forward to 2008, and director Nelson McCormick (TV's "Prison Break") and writer J.S. Cardone ("The Covenant") have attempted to serve up another dose of mayhem and murder surrounding that festive evening with a loosely-inspired remake of the 1980 slasher film of the same name, the appropriately titled "Prom Night". "Prom Night" is the story, as you may have guessed by the title, of a group of teenage friends attending their high school prom, except what should be a night of fond memories, will end up becoming a night of horrifying nightmares for those that survive. Three years ago, Donna (Brittany Snow), a popular girl in the school, lost her entire family to a killer obsessed with being with her. Now, on the night she has waited for throughout her entire high school life, the killer returns to finish what he started. I will admit that I have only seen bits and pieces of the original "Prom Night" that starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen, and what I've seen appeared to be fairly predictable, as most horror films in the 80's tended to be. So, I'm pretty confident I could surmise what happened in the end without ever finishing the movie. With this 2008 incarnation that has been dubbed a remake by most viewers, albeit an ...

If mine had then I would have hated them less. But when it comes down to gore, blood and a slasher flick this is worse than my proms. There's relatively little blood, which is different, and I believe done on purpose. You know who the killer is from nearly jump street. Doesn't leave much to the imagination. He kills with a purpose, but I think he killed one too many people. I was a bit put of by the fact that the interaction between him and Donna was surprisingly little. The killer is a psycho and I was left wondering what he saw in her that made him go crazy like that. Overall it's an ok film. Maybe one I should have waited until it was on the .99 shelf at my local store, but what's done is done.
