    This is how badly we've regressed?

    I'm not particularly fond of remakes, or to steal the modern jargon "retellings", but this film truly peeved me off. The original Prom Night, while not in my humble estimation a masterpiece, still realized what it was... horror. There are some simple things to remember when making a horror film. Suspense is crucial to maintaining the interest of the audience. Sorry folks, but a white knuckle film this was not! The scares were cheap, and foreshadowed terribly. (A good example of scare which has been done to clichéd excess now, is the cat jumping out of the closet, followed soon there after but a now unexpected appearance by the villain of the film) This film couldn't successfully pull that off, so how could I expect it to fulfill any of the other conventions of horror film. There needs to be a likable hero or heroine. This film doesn't have one. The person I most identified with was the head detective. His calm demeanor, but level headed approach to the escape of a killer was what more films of this ilk should have. Common sense approach to events that occur. (If you're running from an Axe wielding psycho, you turn and sprint in the opposite direction. Not jog, whilst looking back ever three seconds, gaging the killer's progress, only to trip over every branch and inanimate object in your path.) If you friend disappears, you don't go looking for them alone. And if you suspect foul play you tell someone, not investigate yourself. These clichés are tired and well overplayed. In the horror genre in general, and in this film in particular.

    A good laugh if you weren't expecting a serious movie

    Now I haven't seen the original version, but I can tell you that it's probably better than the remake. The movie's PG-13 rating takes almost all of the thrill and suspense out of the film.

    The beginning of the movie starts off sudden, but afterwards there's a nice drought of action until the first prom killing. The PG13 rating makes the death scenes quite bland and boring. You won't see the victims actually getting attacked, but you'll see silhouettes and blood smears. That's about it.

    The characters in the movie make it seem like you're watching a movie of The Hills. The girls are the classic "dumb blonde" stereotypes while the men are the typical "hard jock" stereotype. Any angst there is between the characters is very dry and holds no real meaning to the overall movie.

    The plot is very predictable, I sat through the entire movie correctly guessing what was going to happen next and when something good was going to happen.

    All in all, this is a good movie if you're looking for some good laughs, but overall don't expect to be extremely happy with the final product. Personally I'd wait for the movie to come out on DVD. If you've seen any other slasher film, chances are you could guess every next move in this movie.

    Horror is gone in Hollywood

    I am the guy who usually keeps opinions to himself, but I just got back from this movie, and felt I had to express my opinions. Let me start by saying that I am a HUGE horror fan. But what makes a horror movie? I sure like to see even a tiny bit of a good script and character development. I know they often lack in horror movies, but Prom Night looked like it didn't even put forth ANY effort in that department. Next, we all love suspense. That on the edge of your seat suspense with unpredictable surprises. Yeah, Prom Night had none of that! Of course, we like a terrifying killer. Prom Night have that? Nope, it has a pretty boy with a cute lil' knife. And when all else fails...at least horror has its guilty pleasure to make it enjoyable like gore gore gore, and the occasional nude scene! Yeah, well when you have a horror movie rated PG-13 like Prom Night, they leave that stuff out too. So with all of these elements missing, I ask....does this still count as a horror movie? Nope. I'd call it more of a comedy. People in my theater were laughing more at this then they were when I saw "Semi-Pro" that was supposed to actually be a comedy (which also sucked, but thats another story!). I think I am just going to have to give up on new horror. All the good horror movies of the good ol' days have been remade into garbage so movie studios can make money. The people I went to see it with didn't even know this was a remake! Which made me mad! I wonder what will happen when there's no more movies to remake??? Where will horror go next???

    Bad For Any Teen With Brains

    I am so tired of these crappy movies being made for the teen audiences. I'm a teen and i hate these movies because its basically an episode of the oc with a few pop outs scenes. I also, like many people hate the PG-13 trend going on right now. Its simply not a horror movie with out boobs and blood, thats just the way it is. But i have to say that i have some hope for the unrated cut. But please, if you are a teen, grow some grapes and see an actual r rated horror movie, i don't care if you have to sneak in, i snuck in to see avpr. Also, i don't know why that there was not even one scary scene in the whole thing. Even though the remake of when a stranger calls was not very good at all it still had some great suspense in it.

    the movie is okay.

    There was some parts that were jumpy and kind of scary. the murderer's face will haunt you. but no i wouldn't call it horrible. i liked it, i just wouldn't BUY it. its fun to go see with a couple friends and make comments about the movie. sure there are parts that were kinda stupid... but if you are 13 you would consider it scary. for people like me (im 21) and have seen a lot of scary movies, you would consider this movie more like and action thriller. my advice, watch it for fun but it's not worth $20 to buy. i thought it was funny in the theater that people were jumping and screaming, but i didn't jump because the background music let you know if something was going to jump out, so i kind of expected it. overall, i would give it a 5 out of 10 oh, and the story line Was pretty good, it wasn't totally stupid... until prom night then the story line headed for stupid but ended great.
