Excellent but underrated film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Mary Lou is brought back from the dead once more to wreak havoc at Hamilton High. Alex Grey is the poor sucker that has to do her bidding. The only movie in this series that I like is Prom Night 2. It's actually one of my favorite horror movies, and extremely underrated. Yes, the second movie was campy, but it was actually suspenseful as well. They throw the suspense out the window in favor of laughs. Not only is it terribly unfunny, but downright boring. I didn't care about anybody in this movie except for one person, and that was Sarah (Cynthia Preston) She felt like the only real person in this movie. Even Mary Lou bugged me in this movie. There is gore in this movie, but it's played for laughs. Most of the deaths are stupid. Tim Conlon makes for a bland lead. I wanted to slap him silly at times. Cynthia Preston is very solid as the love interest. She comes out of this crap looking like a champ. Courtney Taylor is nowhere near as seductive and sexy as Lisa Schrage was as Mary Lou. She tries hard, but just doesn't have the charisma or the script to work with. The ending is a real downer and p*** me off. This movie is marred by a lot of rampant stupidity. The second movie had the perfect balance of scares and humor. This movie focuses way too much on silly comedy. I'd skip it if I were you3.3/10

Let me open by saying this review is in regards to the edited DVD that Artisan released as a double bill with Prom Night IV. I've not seen the film in all it's uncut glory, but I can't imagine gore and nudity changing my opinion about anything. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm sure it makes the film at least watchable. As it stands, Prom Night III: The Last Kiss is a pretty abysmal horror/comedy. However, this is the only film in the series that tries its hand at continuity. It actually picks up from the events of the last film and has Mary Lou Maloney as the antagonist once again (played by a different actress natch). Where Prom Night II was a Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off, this film feels more like the later Elm Street sequels. It trades scares for laughs, most of which don't work. I rented this disc because I'd rather go back and watch these crappy sequels than the new remake. And as bad as this was, I know I made the right decision. I'm actually going into Prom Night IV with higher expectations since they couldn't possibly make a film worse than this one. We'll see.

"Prom Night III: The Last Kiss" is the third installment of the series, following Part II, which was virtually unrelated to Part I. Mary Lou continues her rampage again at Hamilton High School. This time, Mary Lou's ghost falls for a teenage football player named Alex. She begins appearing to him, and she seems to be able to give Alex what ever he wants, when he wants it. But what he isn't aware of is that Mary Lou is an evil spirit, and she begins killing off all of his enemies and rivals, and he ends up losing his girlfriend too. Since Mary Lou is a ghost and nobody can see her, Alex is the only link to the murders and he becomes the prime suspect.I'm not sure if this sequel was intended to be scary or funny, because to me it was a heck of a lot funnier than it was scary. The whole setup of the movie is a bit random, and there are some genuinely funny scenes. Cheesy, but funny. Prime examples of this campy humor are when when Mary Lou appears to Alex at an ice cream stand in the biology classroom, and when Alex wakes up naked in the school and has to wrap himself in a flag. There are lots of gory scenes throughout the movie, but none of it is really taken seriously and the special effects aren't great. The acting was alright, and the plot was unrealistic. But it's what you would expect from a movie of this type.Overall, "Prom Night III: The Last Kiss" is a campy but funny horror flick. It's not scary at all, it turned out to be much more funny than terrifying. It's an okay way to pass an hour and a half. 5/10.

This movie is really bad and the acting by the hole cast is bad and the story line is bad but i have seen worse horror movies like Jack Frost 2: Revenge Of The Mutant Killer SnowMan.In this movie the plots about how Mary Lou has came back from hell once again and she gets a living boyfriend to take to the prom and she starts to kill heaps of people that get in her way.There are some OK gore scenes in this movie like when Mary Lou rips out a mans heart and the scene when she threw a foot ball at a man on the football field and it kills him and he gets pinned up on one of the goal posts.Over all this movie was bad but it is still a fun way to spend an hour and a half and my rating is 3 out of 10.
