Movie Reviews of Prom Night (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Boring and dervitive slasher flick.
Summary: 2 Stars
Well what can I say about Prom Night, this slasher film was released during the early 80's and was regarded as a classic although it was probably called a classic just because it featured Jaimie Lee Curtis, Prom Night starts off promising with some great camera-work and what seems to be an attempt to build suspense but soon loses steam. The middle half was kind of dull and yawn inducing, I'm not sure what the director was thinking but he seems to be fond of disco music so if you have a high tolerance for this type of cheesy music then you might enjoy this. The acting wasn't particularly that good except from Jaimie Lee Curtis the other characters weren't really that interesting and it did not keep my interest and I usually love these type of slasher flicks like Halloween, Happy Birthday To Me, The Burning ect. but I just couldn't like this film at all no matter how many times I tried, it had tedious stalk and slash scenes which are completely devoid of suspense and was predictable. I already knew who the killer was so there wasn't any mystery but atleast it was better than Terror Train which isn't saying much and there was that unintentionally hilarious and outdated highschool dance scene, anyway if you like older slasher flicks which have an incredibly slow pace and tons of disco music without any nudity and gore then you might like this film but if not then I suggest you skip it and watch a better slasher flick like The Burning or The Prowler instead.
Summary of Prom Night (Full Screen Edition)
Directed by Paul Lynch, this cult horror masterpiece starring Leslie Nielsen and scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis paved the way for future slasher films and inspired such blockbusters as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. For six long years, Hamilton High School seniors Kelly (Marybeth Rubins), Jude (Joy Thompson), Wendy (Eddie Benton), and Nick (Casey Stevens) have been hiding the truth of what happened to ten-year-old Robin Hammond the day her broken body was discovered near an old abandoned convent. The foursome kept secret how they taunted Robin - backed her into a corner until, frightened, she stood on a window ledge...and fell to her death. Though an accident, the then-twelve-year-olds feared they'd be held responsible and vowed never to tell. But someone else was there that day...watching. And now, that someone is ready to exact murderous revenge - on prom night.When it comes to an expressive set of lungs for horror, it's hard to match Jamie Lee Curtis, who set the standard for nonstop screaming in Halloween. She built her reputation as a scream queen in such subsequent outings as The Fog, Terror Train, and this similarly themed and relatively subpar horror outing. A progenitor of I Know What You Did Last Summer, this film focuses on four high school friends on prom night who are being stalked by a masked maniac seeking revenge for a death that occurred six years earlier. Guess who lives to tell the tale? --Marshall Fine
