Prom night is yet another remake about Donna Keppel, a girl, who, three years ago, saw her mother murdered before her very eyes by Richard Fenton, one of her high school teachers who has become obsessed with her. Tonight, it's her senior prom, and along with her friends, want to make it a night to remember. And it will be, but for all the wrong reasons...
If you're a fan of horror movies, avoid this, you've seen much better elsewhere. If not, don't see this because this will not show you how good a horror movie can be, quite the opposite in fact.
The cliches are too many to count. Everyone is impossibly handsome, you've got generic rock/indie band # 40987 playing tunes you won't remember 5 minutes from now and the characters barely register. The general shock tricks are pulled out here, from characters appearing out of the darkness to suspense building before a character looks around/seen behind them. But they never really work, you're just waiting for inevitable conclusion. The actors do what they can with the flimsy script, but I don't think this is a film they'll be boasting about years from now.
I haven't seen the original but I can't really see it being worse than this, at least it'll have the nostalgia factor. This film however, commits the worst sin a film can make: it's mediocre.
You really shouldn't expect much from this film, I wouldn't even recommend it for a Friday night in with your mates as there are slasher flicks out there with more blood and that are more exciting. Avoid.
