Want ideas on how to make a terribly cliche and dull teen slasher flick?
Then watch this.

Having not seen the original I can not compare the two. This movie wasn't very scary and the slayings were, for the lack of a better word, boring. If you are into the slasher films that having been coming out lately you may like this film. I...

Having not seen the original I can not compare the two. This movie wasn't very scary and the slayings were, for the lack of a better word, boring. If you are into the slasher films that having been coming out lately you may like this film. I don't really recommend it though.

Prom Night only proves that if you've seen one of these crappy teen high school torture porn movie, you've see em' all. Donna's (Snow) teacher slayed her family three years ago, but shes managed to move on and is living with her aunt and uncle....

Prom Night only proves that if you've seen one of these crappy teen high school torture porn movie, you've see em' all. Donna's (Snow) teacher slayed her family three years ago, but shes managed to move on and is living with her aunt and uncle. The teacher has now escaped from jail with the intent on crashing the students' prom night and find Donna. All he has is one little knife but the cops think thats reason to cause panic and evacuate the whole place. A piece of "crappolla" like this offers nothing but the usual cheap thrills. People popping out of nowhere, like she goes to the bathroom opens the mirror and closes and BOOOOO!!! How many freakin' times have you seen that one pulled before. Then shes sleeping near her boyfriend who seems to be sleeping but if you give him a little nudge BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And how many times have you seen that. Tense moment and then she bumps into something AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Oh never mind it's just a lamp. Try to be original maybe. This has been shown a million times over and over again. And correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the whole point of this is that they're trapped in a hotel but they're only in the damn hotel for less than 15 minutes. Then they're at her house because this teacher managed to outwit the clueless cops again. HOOOOORAAYYYYYY!!!! NOT!!!

Ugh... Prom Night... I have to consider this to be one of the pointless re-makes of all time. Not because the film being remade was a work of art, but because the film being remade was just average. It was good, but not great. It was entertaining...

Ugh... Prom Night... I have to consider this to be one of the pointless re-makes of all time. Not because the film being remade was a work of art, but because the film being remade was just average. It was good, but not great. It was entertaining and scary. Okay, scary-ish. There was no reason for the film to be remade. Well, what we have here is a very stupid, dull, badly acted, badly written, etc. re-make of an okay film. But there are four letters wrong with this movie: PG-13. Yes, PG-13. Okay, that's two letters, one dash, and two numbers. But you get my point. Had this film been R rated I might have enjoyed it more. There would have been more blood, and more blood can sometimes make a better movie. Now, it still would have been mediocre... Well horrible, actually, but I would have gotten to see the bad actors and annoying characters get cut up into little tiny bits and gobbled up by the boring killer. That would have gotten the movie a D- from me instead of an F+. But no. There is hardly any blood and you never see anyone get stabbed. And when they do get stabbed (I'm talking about one scene in particular) you see blood stains on the shirt, but no stab marks. Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way, time to start nit-picking!
The plot: A high-school teacher gets obsessed with a female student and stalks her. Then he kills her family. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Said female student goes to live with her aunt and uncle. On the night of her senior prom, the killer escapes his cage that he was locked in (well he escaped a few days before said event) and kills the female's friends. It all ends up with the killer getting killed by the cliche rough and tough police man.
The acting: Horrible. That's all that needs to be said, but that's not all I will say. The actors spoke so softly that I could hardly hear them. So I missed out on certain plot points. Oh, yes, I know, boo-hoo. The only tolerable actor (or actress, in this case) was Brittany Snow.
Wow. I'm terrible sorry, but I realize that I have gone on for far too long about this movie. Seeing how's this is my first very detailed movie review I'm not sure where to go with it from here. (After all, reviewing a film is not like reviewing a video game.) Well, to make a long review short, the movie is horrible. Just horrible. The only reason I gave the film one star instead of a measly half-a-star is such: the annoying characters all die!!! :) Well, not all of them, but enough to make me happy. And, Brittany Snow was an okay actress.
