Alrght, I know everyone hated this movie, but I personally loved. Haha, I'm a sucker for Brittany Snow, but the movie was great on it's own. Yes, PG-13's aren't that great, but I though this one was excellent. There are somethings I would've changed/added, but nontheless, I still love the movie.
RECOMENDED
Well i have to say this one was a tipical PG13 movie but it did had its suspenful and scary scenes and i think the unrated dvd will contain a much gorier prom night so i dont think this is bad at all.
When i started watching prom night i said to my self dont get mad its just another PG13 shit.But as the movie started the film wasnt that bad as everyone said.OK im not saying it was perfect it had very very laughable scenes and chesse fake scares(like mr disgusting said)but the only scene i liked very much was how lisa died because it was the only bloody scene and the movie had its scary parts like when donna dreams she gets killed on her bathroom by fenton and when claire dies but i recomend you that if you dont like PG13 films SKIP THIS o yeah and more think to mr disgusting DONT COMPARE THIS CRAP WITH WHEN A STRANGER CALLS AT LEAST THAT IS SCARY AND PERFECT.
It wasn't any sort of 'classic', but I can't help but feel that a majority of the people giving it low scores went in with either expectations too high or just wanted to hate it from the beginning. I went in with marginally good expectations and came out pretty impressed. It was better than it probably 'should' have been.
it was good for a pg-13 movie. i dont know why they labeled this as a remake. the original was a slasher, this one is a psychological thriller. the only similarities it the title and the location. everything else was different. the only real problem that i had with it was that the deaths werent elaborate enough and there wasnt many things that made me jump. as a school grade i'd give it is a B-.
ok to begin there was no blood or gore at all.i knew this movie was gonna suck i just wanted to watch it just to make sure i was right,but it sucked more than i expected.i thought that at least donna's chase scene was gonna be good but it turn out to be lame or one of the most lamest chase scene in any horro movie.the killer was just funny not scary at all.plus i didnt feel sorry for the people who died in this movie.
Another Pg13 Crappy remake of a Great r Rated Film.the Thing That Killed It For Me was Not The Pg13 rating But How They just kept Showing The Killer.How are You Supposed To Be Scared Of This Guy If Their Showing Him Every Five seconds.And Why is Hollywood Making all these Movies Directed Towards teens.Plus Its a Mainstream Movie,Mainstream Movies Suck.Independent Will Always Rule.
this movie was the worst pierce of crap
i have ever laid my eyes upon and i would not wish this cinematic torture to even my worst of enemie!!
i mean come on movie producers i mean pg-13 isnt an excuse to make this pathetic f**ing trash!!!!
there was absolutley no suspence the blood was like friken rain drops and the guy killed 8 people w/ a knife and there was absolutley no blood at all on him!!!! horendous acting, terrible dialogue and even worse directing!!!! this director should be shunned from the movie buisness periood coming up with this garbage is pitifull!!!!! this isnt horror if anything its preppy teen drama served up with a bit of laugh out loud acting and useless scares i dont recomend this to anyone and if u do c it remember this...u will regret it!!!
i can't believe i spent good $ to see this piece of grade 'a' bull shit!!!
OK,OK,I thought it was interesting enough, though they were really aiming away from the true horror fans. It could have been better(you have no idea how much it could have been beter)I enjoyed it, but maybe the reason why I liked it so much was because I kept looking at Brittany Snow. She's so cute when she's fighting for her life. Anyways I hope-no, I pray that come time it's on DVD, it'll be unrated, 'cause those death scenes were amusing. Like OH MAN how is it that you get stabbed like that and overall have that much blood? And y'all should stop hating on this film. Now I know that it really had nothing to do with the original,which I loved, it had something else to it, and when someone finds that something, please tell me.
It wasnt really that bad. It had a decent plot, acting, and so on. But I wish there would have been more gore and more ties to the original. But all in all it was pretty good but It seems like now a days all the horror movies are either remakes, J-horror, or sequels, im just gettin bored of it all.
No desire to watch another PG-13 horror movie. Movie producers should stop trying to catch the younger crowds attention with these terrible PG-13 movies(such as the Grudge,Shutter,Pulse,Stay Alive)because they just are not good....period. I remember when I was younger they didn't have to many PG-13 horror movies and I was watching rated R movies... they were usually good. I wasn't interested in wanting to watch a horror movie and skip all the good juicy stuff. F**k that. This is terrible, if you would rather have your kid waste his money on stupid movies like this rather than taking him to a rated R movie and getting some grade "A" entertainment(A.K.A. blood and guts) than your a terrible parent and I hope you get jumped by a gang of Homeless Paraplegic Vietnam Veterans. It serves you right hippie.

"What the hell was that?" That's what I said when the closing credits began to roll when the newest remake, "Prom Night" was finished. And then after that came a lot of other words that I will not reveal here to keep things tame, much like this movie.
So I think I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed the orginal "Prom Night". Yes it's incredibly outdated, but it's one of the first "who done it?" flicks I ever saw so it holds a special place in my heart and I knew the remake would probably disappointment me in some way, but I had no idea what I was in for.
Now I knew going in that this was NOTHING like the original so again I have to say "why?" Why call a movie something when it has nothing to do with the original material. That would be like calling a movie "Halloween" without Michael Myers, oh wait...
Anyways the gist of it is that these are dumbest characters I think I have ever seen a movie. If I saw a teacher that was infamous at my school for murdering someone I would recongize him right away, not wait twenty minutes and then suddenly realize, "oh crap, it's him!!" And what clutzes!! How many times can you possibly fall down or bump into something, I mean this movie was borderline slapstick comedy. And the killer? God was he annoying. I've seen Johnathon Schaech play a really creepy fellow before so I was intrigued when I heard he was cast as the villian in this. But he came across as pathetic and whiney, and most of all NOT scary. Oh yeah, the cops were also morons as well, just FYI.
Now I'm going to go easy on the PG-13 rating. I am a gore hound and prefer uncensored R rated movies but I feel it is possible to have a good PG-13 scary movie. But the way the gore was handled was riduculous! Little drops of blood on peoples clothing, without any cut fabric might I add, and a little dribble of blood coming from their mouths after being stabbed several times, c'mon!! We aren't that stupid!
I felt this movie had one bright spot. I did find the chase sequence through the floor being remodled to be slightly suspenseful, even though predictable, and that's why I gave a score of 2 instead of 1.
So add this to the already large pile of pointless and pathetic remakes and great ready see this same creative team butcher another movie I find to be a classic, The Stepfather.
Okay, this is not a scary movie at all. Just getting that clear. Don't expect to come out having nightmares, because you won't. Don't see it if you don't like teen movies, because that's basically what it is. It's aimed towards teens. However, it was actually better than I expected. There were some stupid parts, some unintentional funny parts, but overall it was an entertaining movie. Better than WASC, Black X-Mas, The Fog, One Missed Call, and other shit like that.
And people compare this to the Ruins, they're too completely opposite films.
i saw this movie opening night and was pissed. it sucked. totally predictable, cheap scares, and the murders were not believable at all. ya its PG-13, but thats no excuse to make a stupid movie. i expected a lot more, but was obviously let down
I really liked it. It wasn't gory, and the story wasn't perfect. But come on, we're talking a Pg-13 film. By the way, this is not a remake. Not a remake at all, diffrent story, setting, and characters. I reccomend!
according to an article in Fango, although released as a PG13, they did film some harder stuff, so all you people complaining about the lack of gore...just skip it and wait for the (hopefully) unrated dvd.
(SPOILERS)
I don't know what movie David Harley went to see, but it definitely wasn't Prom Night.
First, he says there is no accidental death, no mysterious killer, etc but didn't we establish this through the trailer? If you didn't like that fact then don't go and see it. Simple.
Then he says that Fenton kills people that have nothing to do with who he came for. Obviously he did, because he killed a maid who possessed a master key so he could enter and exit any room he wanted to at any time.
I'll agree, there was a very noticeable plot hole with the whole elevators functioning during a fire alarm, but big whoop, there are plenty of other movies with even worse plot holes than that.
To me, Fenton looked like a completely different person while he was shaved. IRL, I'm sure situations like this have happened so it isn't that far-fetched.
The whole blood issue. Once again, what did you expect from a PG-13 movie? That's like asking whether Brittany Snow gets naked in it. It's a stupid thing to wish for, and you SHOULDN'T take away points for that.
Anyways, I enjoyed the movie, will buy it when it comes out on DVD, will probably see it again in theatres, and will continue to watch it with friends, family, and by my lonesome.
Does Bloody-Disgusting have an IMDB problem?
the three accounts who gave this movie a high rating look fake as fuck. On one hand I feel happy for Bloody-Disgusting that you are now so popular that people actually think to come in here and create fake accounts to up a movie's average user rating, on the other hand that really sucks for people looking for an honest opinion.
Giving it the score it really deserves just because some how other people don't want to give it the right score it sucked it was below average for even a remake the clips can tell you that and if it didn't make you jump look away or say "WTF did I just see" it really dosen't deserve above a 2.5 skulls
better than i thought it would be. a good movie 2 seer this weekend. brittany snow was awesome and i liked evryone in the cast. thjought u wish this movie had made me jump. overall a really good remake.
I thought that this was a really good remake!Although the story is very different to the original, to me, it's still a remake. In the original, the killer was masked and you don't find out until the end, but this time, you know exactly who the killer is. In the original, the prom is at Hamilton High School, in this one, it's at a Grand Hotel. In the original, a little girl died six years brfore the prom, and the kids responsible swear not to tell no one, and the killer comes to the prom to kill them, in the remake, a teacher named Richard Fenton becomes obsessed with a student named Donna, and he breaks out of prison 3 years later to see her again and will kill anyone who gets in his way. Donna is very beautiful. If you want to see the movie for a straight remake of the original, you'll be highly disappointed, but if you stay open-minded and enjoy the movie for what it is, you'll love it! (I already want to see it again!)
Honestly it was your typical slasher film!! except you knew who the killer was! on the other hand I loved it!! it was kind of suspensful and it was pretty good overall!! I would see it again for sure! Not all that scary and the previews kinda tell you who dies and such but it was overall pretty good! I would recommend it because it was apretty good passing of 88mins!! haha..... The cast was pretty hot also.. And the cast actually looked like they could be highschool seniors!
