captaincameron I try not to put spoilers in, but always check the box in case I slip up. The original Prom Night was a classic--early dead teenager movie that helped set the standard. And sure, this is not so much a remake as a re-imagining, so there can be some leeway. But 45 minutes in, you will find yourself strongly disliking Brittany Snow. By the hour point, Gandhi would be hitting her in the head with buckets of salt. You really, really start to root for the killer. And not just because of how irritating she is. Inept police, friends with no clue, boyfriend who feels so strongly about protecting his girlfriend that he decides to do so by sleeping. It is not the worst movie ever made. The music is good, and the cast is pretty. But if you are looking for a quality horror flick, you might as well rent one of the Herbie The Love Bug movies. Really.

rockyyogesh This movie is great. Don't let the bad reviews deter you away because this movie was entertaining, fun and enjoyable. Better than the other prom night with Jamie. Yeah i know some of you hate me now cuz of that but its the truth. The chase scene was so awesome and very upset by the outcome but it was so good and every time i see it I'm always rooting for the best,silly me lol. But its so good and its not a horror flick, its a thriller more. I was never bored and always like wow, i can never get tired of seeing it. Its a fun time so watch it, don't let the negative reviews fool you, just know thats its a thriller and not a slasher flick and you'll be fine, promise.

Zebb67 This watered-down, PG-13 "horror" film is so tame it could almost be shown in Sunday school, especially given how chaste the main couple is. I referred to it as a "slasher" film in my Summary, but that's misleading as no actual violence occurs on screen. Nor any sex or nudity, the other staples of the genre. What we mostly get is a lot of dumb, clichéd teen dialogue about how much fun prom night is (unless a serial killer shows up, I guess). In recent years, Hollywood has started releasing R-Rated horror films again after a brief spate of PG-13 drivel that wouldn't scare a five-year-old. Producers thought the PG-13 rating would bring in more money, but the fact that junk like Prom Night didn't bring in the big bucks as expected apparently led them to change course.

callanvass Donna Keppell (Brittany Snow) comes home one night, and witnesses her parents being murdered by a psychopath obsessed with Donna named Richard Fenton (Johnathon Schaech) The killer is locked up, and Donna gets over it, thanks to the help of her friends. Prom Night is supposed to be the night Donna will never forget. Sadly for Donna, Richard Fenton escapes, and begins to terrorize Donna & her friends on Prom Night. I love slasher's. I'm not that persnickety about them at all, but let's face it. The original was OK at best, but it was at least tolerable. This isn't really a remake. I did admire that it does its own thing, but it couldn't be any more mundane if it tried. It has a slick set-up. The opening is quite riveting, and I thought I might be in for a pleasant surprise. The obsession storyline was basic and effective. There was nothing flashy about it, and that was fine with me. Sadly, I couldn't turn out to be more wrong about being pleasantly surprised. This lacks suspense, creativity, scares, or thrills of any kind. It throws in everything I hate about slasher movies these days with plot holes that baffled me. Why are all of the cops such bumbling idiots? How did it take them that long to think that maybe the killer would attempt to disguise himself? The characters, except for Brittany Snow are all disposable, and I didn't give a damn about any of them. They are so vague and thinly written, it's impossible to care about their fates. They're so interchangeable it's not even funny. Brittany Snow is the movie's lone saving grace. Her performance is so strong that it makes you wonder what she's doing in this film in the first place. She's beautiful, convincing, sympathetic, and more importantly, likable. I did care about what was going to happen to her, and I give all the credit to Snow. Good stuff, woman! Why didn't Rob Zombie cast her as Laurie Strode in Halloween? She would've been ideal! Scott Porter has to be one of the blandest jocks I've ever seen in my life. This kid couldn't conjure up a personality if his life depended on it. He had no chemistry with Snow, either. Idris Elba is fine as the detective, but did they have to write his character to be that stupid? Schaech is decent as the killer, but we don't know why he's so obsessed. Kellan Lutz has an insignificant role for the women that go nuts over him. Linden Ashby plays Snow's uncle. That's noteworthy for me, because he's Johnny, freaking Cage! How cool would it be to have Ashby for an uncle? The blood is drier than a popcorn fart. Not only are some of the deaths pointless, but bloodless as well. We get an average slit throat, stabbings, and that's about it. This should also be nominated for having one of the most anti-climatic endings I've ever seen. Final Thoughts: The IMDb rating is spot on, if you like your horror movies, teeny bopperish, with no imagination what so ever, this one's for you. Brittany Snow deserved better than this crap. I'd revisit my prom with Brittany Snow any day!3.7/10
