You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely Fantastic

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Although dragging at points, this film didn't disappoint me. I found myself caring about the story and engaged with the chase scenes. I'd definitely recommend it to those looking for an enjoyable slasher.

Not a very good film, even by the "standards" of the genre. There was surprisingly little gore, until one particular scene. (This is not a complaint) Very little gratuitous nudity. (Maybe a little bit of a complaint) The acting, sets, direction, etc. place it firmly in the B category, which is fine. Leslie Nielsen seemed to be mailing it in. Jamie Lee Curtis was so young that her craft may not have been well-developed, seeing that she became a fine actress. The director seems to have made his career in television, and it showed. This is kind of a waste of time.

It's tough to rate "Prom Night" this late in the game. Horror flicks were already becoming de rigueur by 1980 - check out the ineffectual parody "Student Bodies" - so you can imagine how trite this material seems almost forty years later!Even if you've never seen a slasher movie, this stuff is familiar: a group of generally oversexed teens are bumped off one by one by a masked assailant, whose identity is revealed at the end of the film. This one also features a traumatic event in the prologue, with the assailant being someone who witnessed it and is out for vengeance, a la "I Know What You Did Last Summer".Don't let the familiarity of the material put you off, though. "Prom Night" is a very well made movie: the death scenes, particularly, make unnerving use of slow motion and camera angles that would have been truly disturbing back in 1980. Most slashers don't even bother with stuff like that: they just go for the gore.The ending also boasts not one, but two surprises: the last death is truly shocking, and the identity of the killer? I must confess I didn't pick it, even after having seen hundreds of these movies."Prom Night" covers VERY familiar ground, yes, but it does it with more style than 99% of its familiars.

Prom Night might seem like a generic slasher on the surface yet deep down the script goes beyond that and shows the dramatic effects on the survivors who are left behind after a tragedy. Leslie Nelson and Jamie Lee Curtis it up from the b movie reputation of bad acting into a respectable affair despite a few cheesy moments. The kills aren't going to please gore hounds looking for a blood bath, but they are creative and different from the standard knife cut or ax to the back common in many others. A few highlights are Slick's can plunging off a cliff, Wendy's Chase scene through the school and Lou's decapitation which keep you on the edge of your seat. The atmosphere is genuinely creepy, dark and feels like a storm is on the horizon.The ending is abrupt since Jamie doesn't experience a true showdown in the style of Halloween, but since the reveal is a conflict of interest it does open up a new later on if Alex was trying to kill his sister or keep her out of harm's way. Alex dying in her arms before the credits roll feel like it was missing the finale gotcha moment almost feeling like a Greek tragedy. My only complaint is Mr. Hammond disappears half way through and it was due to budget cuts yet a line or two could've cleared it up. Prom Night is a spectacular horror film that stands on it's own two feet and doesn't try to follow the trend making it true My exceptional. Pick up a copy today.
