Regal R 20/100 - I laughed when someone wrote 'This is the movie that you put on when you wash your hair and nothing more". True Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Blu B How do you not improve on the 1980 one which wasn't good to begin with. HOW?!? The editing and pacing are terrible. It feels like scenes are out of order and in the wrong spots. The character development stuff and setting up the killer should've been at the start and comes in the middle. The kills are completely pointless. You could edit them out completely and nothing would be lost just showing the aftermath. Everything else isn't good here. The supporting cast all blends in terribly. Snow is alright and probably the best thing in this but it feels like even she dissappears as this loses focus and jumps around terribly in the middle with pointless kills, out of order character moments, and Elba's scenes hunting the killer. The end where he pulls a Hannibel Lector escaping the hotel by having enough time to hide the body, change, and escape is so farfetched it's ridiculous. The fact he kills his partner, her boyfriend while he's sleeping, and another officer while sneaking by everyone else is so ridiculosly farfeched it belongs in Rise of Skywalker. The direction is super basic also and none of the kills stand out at all. They all look the same. The killer is lame also and looks like Robert Rodriguez. It never feels like a game of cat and mouse and never sets up the relationship between the killler and Snow well at all. Don't forget to also add in the pointless jumpscares.The idea of fixing the issues of the 1980 one completely are botched. Skip This. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Regina P This is the kind of movie you put on when you are washing your hair. It is what it is and nothing more. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Jace E I get that this movie is objectively terrible, but it is such a guilty pleasure of mine. The bad acting, the cut-away murders, the dumb plot, everything comes together to make Prom Night so dang enjoyable. This film has two separate identities: one is a petty high school drama where the girls make fun of the lesbian teacher, bicker with the popular girl and reminisce about the good ol' days while anxiously dreading graduation. The other is a creepy slasher flick involving an obsessed teacher who kills people in front of their children, stashes bodies in the ceiling and cries while looking at a camera (with a dead body sitting next to him). Unfortunately, these two storylines conflict with each other more than they build off one another. That being said, there is a special place in my teenage heart for Prom Night. Every few years I have to revisit this movie just to remember that it exists. Best Character: Lisa Best Quote: "Michael is making me so darn mad. And on top of that, I have killer cramps!" - Claire Best Scene: The Construction Level Murder Note: Shoutout to Ronnie. Poor guy didn't know what he was signing up for by being friends with Donna. Note 2: Uncle Jack deserved to die. Note 3: This movie made me HATE the mirrors that open/shut. Too many jump scares. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Jonathan O Absolutely garbage "remake" there's no connection to the original Prom Night really terrible screenplay and really terrible villain. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Mike P Unfairly maligned Prom Night remake is a watchable thriller. Not good, but it doesn't deserve to be vivisected like it's been.
