Prom Night (I) (2008)
7/10
Entertaining ... But not without its flaws!
12 April 2008
For the teen generation, this adaption of the 1980's slasher "Prom Night" will prove to be a little fun scream-fest. When I first heard that they were remaking the original prom night, My expectations were glum. After viewing some truly horrible remake films in the past, I had almost given up. I acquired an advance screening ticket to this movie and who am I to give up a free movie ticket? The film started off as you would expect. A little character development combined with some backstory and mystery. I wont give anything away but it is a little weak and leaves the audience wanting more information. As the teens arrive at the Prom, Donna (played by Bittany Snow) is trying to forget the horrors of her past but little does she know, shes in for one hell of a night. A stalker which is obesessed with her has broken out of prison and come to find her. The night is filled with screams and blood(not a lot of which I might add) and it all ends in disaster. The acting throughout this film is not great but is believable. The actress who plays "Lisa" really does shine in this film. All in all, Prom Night is not a masterpiece. Its an entertaining, guilty pleasure that is sure to leave the younger generation with a smile on their face. Take it for what it is. Don't! and I repeat Don't have high expectations!
