Very disappointing...
So much average
hyped garbage
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Given a limited budget, I would love to see them create a better movie. I bet they wouldn't know where to begin. A good movie doesn't have to be one that has top actors and has won a zillion academy awards.This is one of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time, and actually led to me buying it after watching it on Amazon Prime. That's because it doesn't have a complicated story, or complicated characters. A good movie doesn't have to be one that taxes your brain to figure out what's going on. Although much of the movie plays like a found-footage movie, it isn't dull and keeps my attention well.Recommended for your Halloween movie list.
I usually try not to rip into a movie so severely that it seems I might have an ax to grind with the particular genre, but in this case, I'll throw caution to the wind."Prom Ride" is a movie that (a) should never have been made; (b) is one of the most vile and contemptible movies I have ever seen; (c) forces the boundaries of good taste to the limits; and (d) tries to take the torture porn genre to new heights. The story goes something like this: prom night, eight seniors are all dressed up, dad has rented a rolling house (in the form of a stretch limo), everybody drinks, secrets are revealed, and (just about) everybody dies. Along the way, the viewer is forced to watch rape, forced oral sex on a loaded gun (with the executioner giving instructions on how it should be done), a girl who has to urinate in an ice bucket--all the while taping it on her phone in front of her friends--people forced to strip, a lesbian made to wear the clothes of one of the boys because she "wants to be a man." Oh, and that "product" in the ice bucket, well, it is thrown in the face of one of the teens. There is some sort of "twist" ending that did not work at all, but did leave a small possibility of a sequel. I'll alert the media.This big old turd deserves to be flushed as soon as possible. My idea of a good time is NOT having to watch such depraved acts. The torture here is put squarely on the shoulders (and in the eyeballs) of its viewers. The particular version of the movie I saw was rated R, and should have been rated NC-17. I say no one under 18 should be allowed to view this. It takes vile to a whole new level.
At first I wasn't sure what I was watching since Prom Ride spends its first half on silly drama musical antic. After a while it suddenly sprints towards creepy horror scheme. The transition feels awkward as these teens barely go through decent characterization and eventually all the gory gimmicks later on seem like they are done for cheap shock effect.It opens with usual juvenile antics, and in an ultimate odd direction it shows musical score as the teens dance and sing for a good five minutes. Mixed with incessant babbling, the first half becomes very tedious as though it's seemingly lost on romcom drama genre. Plot appears fragmented, it doesn't show the characters beyond stereotypical high school students and it's doubtful that audience would care much for them aside from one or two sexual illustration.The second half trudges with the same confusing manner. Gore isn't believable, which makes the disorganized narrative even sillier. Visual has no clear direction either as it cripplingly shifts between found footage and usual third person with no merit on doing so. What dread it has is without concrete motives, the plot twist is forced and none of the actors have the ability to deliver the shoddy narrative.It tries to deliver depravity among friend just like Unfriended did, but it lacks any solid consistency. Prom Ride is a movie that smashes many different genres and plots, then futilely try to pieces its broken fragments to create any kind of story.
Person filming there Prom , there also CCTV in the limoFor me this movie started off to glee(ly) , that singing and dancing scene went on for to long and they time get ready for the prom.to me it seem really odd to have in this movie as the rest of the movie had a different feel to it .Then there limo gets hijacked and messing around with them , tells them to do things or be killed Few secrets come out and some friends started turn on each other this was a odd movie, I found some parts watchable others not and I say the same about the acting I am going to give this a 4 out of 10
