Best movie of this year hands down!
Wonderful Movie
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I can't believe this movie is considered a horror movie , because horror movies are meant to make the audience scared No plot, no script and poor acting ...
When I first watch I thought I'm going to like it but the killer in this film is not smart like he wear a baseball cap instead of a mask for getting revenge on the protagonist like he's just dumb. This film is not even a reboot I heard like if your going to make a movie then don't call it the same name from the popular film. Like you can't call a alien film Alien because that tittle was taken. If I was a creator of this film I'll fix the script, get new crew of actors, and make the people in the film SMART!!
The original Prom Night was a Canadian slasher flick starring Jamie Lee Curtis. It had amazing, fast-paced disco music by composer Paul Zaza, an original plot, great acting and a creepy cast of possible suspects.This version of Prom Night has just piggybacked off the classic original. It has very little in terms of originality, boring and unmemorable modern soundtrack, bad acting and a predictable killer. People will probably disagree with me but remakes are never better than the classics. I'm not some out-of-date old man, I'm eighteen, but I still love the classic 80's slashers the best.If you have any sense left, stick with the original Prom Night, or at least watch the other three in the series, they're much better than this load of garbage.
Donna Keppell (Brittany Snow) comes home one night, and witnesses her parents being murdered by a psychopath obsessed with Donna named Richard Fenton (Johnathon Schaech) The killer is locked up, and Donna gets over it, thanks to the help of her friends. Prom Night is supposed to be the night Donna will never forget. Sadly for Donna, Richard Fenton escapes, and begins to terrorize Donna & her friends on Prom Night. I love slasher's. I'm not that persnickety about them at all, but let's face it. The original was OK at best, but it was at least tolerable. This isn't really a remake. I did admire that it does its own thing, but it couldn't be any more mundane if it tried. It has a slick set-up. The opening is quite riveting, and I thought I might be in for a pleasant surprise. The obsession storyline was basic and effective. There was nothing flashy about it, and that was fine with me. Sadly, I couldn't turn out to be more wrong about being pleasantly surprised. This lacks suspense, creativity, scares, or thrills of any kind. It throws in everything I hate about slasher movies these days with plot holes that baffled me. Why are all of the cops such bumbling idiots? How did it take them that long to think that maybe the killer would attempt to disguise himself? The characters, except for Brittany Snow are all disposable, and I didn't give a damn about any of them. They are so vague and thinly written, it's impossible to care about their fates. They're so interchangeable it's not even funny. Brittany Snow is the movie's lone saving grace. Her performance is so strong that it makes you wonder what she's doing in this film in the first place. She's beautiful, convincing, sympathetic, and more importantly, likable. I did care about what was going to happen to her, and I give all the credit to Snow. Good stuff, woman! Why didn't Rob Zombie cast her as Laurie Strode in Halloween? She would've been ideal! Scott Porter has to be one of the blandest jocks I've ever seen in my life. This kid couldn't conjure up a personality if his life depended on it. He had no chemistry with Snow, either. Idris Elba is fine as the detective, but did they have to write his character to be that stupid? Schaech is decent as the killer, but we don't know why he's so obsessed. Kellan Lutz has an insignificant role for the women that go nuts over him. Linden Ashby plays Snow's uncle. That's noteworthy for me, because he's Johnny, freaking Cage! How cool would it be to have Ashby for an uncle? The blood is drier than a popcorn fart. Not only are some of the deaths pointless, but bloodless as well. We get an average slit throat, stabbings, and that's about it. This should also be nominated for having one of the most anti-climatic endings I've ever seen. Final Thoughts: The IMDb rating is spot on, if you like your horror movies, teeny bopperish, with no imagination what so ever, this one's for you. Brittany Snow deserved better than this crap. I'd revisit my prom with Brittany Snow any day!3.7/10
