Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
marsmitchell79 One problem for this movie in my opinion is the wild body placements: a loft or a car trunk on the outside?! It's possible that he could have gotten outside with a body--if he was clandestine enough; there is a network of stairs and police were busy guarding the prom and extra security was on Donna. Second entrances should be accounted for always(IT'S STANDARD OP FOR A ROACH OR RAT TO OPERATE WHERE PEOPLE WILL NOT LOOK AND A COP SHOULD THINK LIKE A CRIMINAL IN ORDER TO GET HIM), but sometimes they get overlooked. The loft's kind of iffy; they should have lost that, because that would mean getting blood on the carpet and for him to be a major bodybuilder: he didn't look like the type! Why go through the trouble of doing those 2 things when there's space under the bed. What hotel has one of those anyway?! The other one would be how the bodies kept conveniently popping up out of nowhere as the cops or Donna was passing by from the hiding space that the killer hid them WITHOUT REASON! I don't have problem with Donna's lack of emotion; she's lost her family and probably having post traumatic stress over this guy since; her emotions and emotional states are maybe beyond repair outside of divine intervention! Misery has bigger problem than this movie and I'm sure it got a pass; after all, Stephen King was behind that! Problems with Misery: 1. Him rolling around in a wheelchair as he did when Wilkes was probably going to be back within an hour or sooner! We have lived in a rural setting all my life and it took us about 20 minutes to go to the store at most no matter where we have lived at. So, he did not have all that time to go lazily through the house. 2. Then, he had stolen the pills; I accept that, but the knife?! And Paul didn't think repercussions were coming when his nurse had a medical chest full of things to do to him and could implement them whenever she wanted?! 3. Also, why would Paul have to write Misery back to life, if Annie burned his manuscript that never got published? THESE ARE 3 CRITICAL ERRORS THAT DOOM THAT MOVIE FROM BEING COMPLETED! To me, Prom Night has small errors compared to that classic!
Davis P Prom night the remake just isn't that great of a movie. The acting is pretty wooden and phoned in. The writing and script is run of the mill and horribly cliché. There were some entertaining moments, some of the kills were kinda thrilling and some of the action/running sequences were fun and had a little adrenaline. But the overall plot was just so cliché and been there done that that it was kinda hard to overlook. Brittany snow (John Tucker must die) was enjoyable as the lead, and Kellan Lutz (Twilight) is alright I suppose, the rest of the cast are just cardboard cut out characters that fall flat. The violence wasn't too graphic or gory, it was PG-13 level goriness, which was good, I thought an R rating would've been too much considering teens are the target audience for this remake. 4/10 for the 2008 remake of prom night.
SnoopyStyle Donna Keppel (Brittany Snow) returns home to find her obsessed former teacher Richard Fenton killing her family. He's put away in prison but she still has nightmares about him despite treatment from Dr. Crowe. Three years later, she's going to senior prom with boyfriend Bobby, best friends Lisa Hines and Claire. Then Detective Winn (Idris Elba) is told that Fenton had escaped from prison. He contacts Donna's new guardians Aunt Karen and Uncle Jack. Winn tries to find Donna but Fenton is already at the prom.It's a lot of unscary jump scares. Everything is predictable. It is all paint-by-numbers horror. The kills are nothing special. It's not especially bloody. The killer isn't a mystery. The cops are really incompetent. It shouldn't be that hard to find a girl. Even in a world without cell phones, they could call the front desk. When they find the dead body, they should be rushing around. I know they don't want a panic but there's a killer on the loose. It's also not good for the tension of the movie. It just feels lifeless.
jason-ri1994 Honestly, I don't know what a lot of people are talking about. The acting is pretty good to me and there are a decent amount of horror scenes that make you jump up. I guess there's not as much gore as I'd expect it but the little amount of gore that they had in this movie was very well done and it looked pretty real unlike some other horror movies these days that go way over the top with orange and pink blood. I love horror movies myself but I'm not picky if there's a little extra something in a horror movie. For instance, I think the problem with this movie is that it is claimed to be a horror movie but actually there are the same amount of drama scenes and action scenes. Not to mention that there seemed to be a lot more suspense scenes than horror scenes. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and I really think that the acting on the actors starring in this movie was well done.
