For a horror flick, this movie was actually really good. The acting was great and the plot was good as well.

It's always been fun watching horror flicks in which hapless teenagers get killed off and they're really dumb. Unfortunately, films like Prom Night ruin any fun of seeing these kinds of films. Prom Night is uncreative, uninteresting, unimaginative, and definitely not scary teen slasher film. Panned by critics and hated by moviegoers, Prom Night is an epic disaster of horror cinema, and there are many good reasons why you should avoid it.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: A girl named Donna had troubles a few years previously with a teacher who became obsessed with her and killed her family. He was then sent to a mental institution 2,300 miles away. But then the killer breaks out to come get Donna on her most important night; Prom Night. She and her friends are having a good time, till her friends start disappearing and then realizes the old teacher has come to get her. The story starts off slow and never gets interesting. I was bored through the entire film, hoping that everyone would just die and that it would end.
MUSIC: It fits the prom theme and has its suspenseful scores, too bad they aren't put to any good use.
ACTING: Terrible, to say the least. Every one of the actors just plain sucked and it was never believable. It doesn't help either with the horrendous dialogue that also drags it down.
ACTION: This is how most of the film went; Scenes at the prom with people partying. Someone goes upstairs, then gets killed. People partying and wondering where someone went. Someone goes upstairs and (you guessed it) dies. Rinse, repeat for awhile, then people realize the killer's at the prom then people panic and more people die. I might as well not go any farther or I will end up telling you what happened through the entire film. The gore was cheap, and killings were off-screen (BOOOO!).
OVERALL: This film is so awful it's not even worth a rental. The only good things about were having the annoying teens get killed and half-way decent music. Other than that, avoid it.
THE GOOD: The stupid teens getting killed and the music.
THE BAD: Everything else.

I wasn't expecting much when I selected Prom Night for Free on Starz On Demand, and I didn't get much either. While it wasn't downright terrible like I was thinking it would be, it certainly isn't good, or even passable for that matter. The cinematography is pretty poor. The acting isn't bad, but it definitely isn't good either. The villain is a joke, his identity is revealed in the first 30 seconds of the movie and he isn't scary or intimidating in the slightest. The plot actually has a fair amount of potential on paper, too bad the director and his cast of actors decide to use this idea in the most amateurish and lame way possible. The ending is probably the most anticlimactic possible way they could have done it by the way, really lackluster. These kids have insane amounts of money by the way, and they don't seem to bleed either even when being stabbed multiple times. Because of this I have come to the conclusion that rich people do not bleed, probably because they're secretly demons. That is what I learned from this movie. It wasn't horrible in the sense that it was painful for me to watch like Moron Movies, Midnight Meat Train, or Cat In The Hat were. This movie just left me wondering, "is that it?". There was no point to the movie as a whole and was pretty much a waste of time.

This movie was on Starz OnDemand this month, so when I was up at 4AM this morning with nothing better to do, I thought, what the hell? After all, I kind of like cheesy teen slasher movies, Prom Night is sure to be right up my alley.

Eh. Not so much. None of the characters are interesting, the bad guy isn't scary, the plot doesn't make a load of sense, and the writing was shoddy.

A huge disappointment, even from someone who loves laughing at the bad, the worse, and the downright pathetic.

another predictable movie. One thing that really bothers me about this movie is that she wakes up from her "realistic" dream and then does the same thing even though she knows somethings up and bad things are going to follow.
