Movie Reviews of Prom Night 2 - Hello Mary Lou
Movie Review: 2.25 STARS: Entertaining, but...it depends on what you're looking for.
Summary: 2 Stars
Although completely unrelated (not such a bad thing) to the original "Prom Night", "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2" is an entertainingly dark movie that is rather low on actual horror. The name of this movie itself indicates that this is not an all-time great horror movie, nor does it try to be, but for people serious about rounding out their horror movie collection, I think this review is helpful. It should be noted that this sequel is better than the original, but that is faint praise. Mary Lou was the prom queen during the 1950s, but she was a very bad girl, and when a prank goes bad, a la "Carrie", a tragedy results.
Trying to separate itself from the original slasher, the sequel tries its hand at spiritual possession. Overall, the possession scenes are rather dull, and there is virtually nothing scary about them. Interestingly enough, "Prom Night 2" takes itself seriously for the most part as a horror movie, and this is partly what makes it fun, even if it's not scary. Give it credit for that much.
The acting is pretty good in "Prom Night 2", especially Michael Ironside. The movie is executed pretty well, and the movie reaches its maximum potential. On one level, "Prom Night 2" succeeds at being an entertaining movie with a dark side that actually takes itself seriously (for the most part) as a horror movie, but falls short in the scary department; and this is why "Prom Night 2" gets a decent rating of 2.25 STARS. Therefore, if you're looking for an 80s movie that is in the mold of a horror movie, but more fun than scary, this could be your thing. If you're looking for something scary, leave "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2" on the DVD shelf.
