Awesome Movie
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I can't believe this movie is considered a horror movie , because horror movies are meant to make the audience scared No plot, no script and poor acting ...
An achievement if you will that has surpassed the likes of 'Rings' and 'Pompeii'. The worst of the worst. I have literally just wasted 89 minutes of my life watching a serial killer stab countless students and hotel employees with no one battering an eyelid. I'm not even going to describe the plot to you, you all deserve better. Typical slasher plagued with uninventive deaths, bad acting, dull dialogue, no characterisation, lack of backstory and piercing cheesy American pop songs that you would find in a teen flick from the early 00s. The only positive aspect to this whole diabolical mess is Idris Elba, who tried his best. But hey, even great actors have to start somewhere. The story is literally pointless. A creepy stalker who creepily stalks a girl whilst wearing creepy attire that shows off his creepy stalker personality is creepily waltzing around a hotel killing everyone, just because he wants to stalk a girl. That is literally it. There is nothing else to this. It's like eating a jam doughnut and realising that you've got no jam in your doughnut. Are you disappointed? Yes. Did you waste your time hoping to taste that sweet juicy jam? Why yes, you did. The killer hides his victims in various hotel suites, to which a detective casually walks along and then BAM a body flings out randomly to create a jump scare. If that's not scary enough, then you'll be "frightened" multiple times by the repetitive use of characters walking backwards only to trip on something or knock into someone which consequently somehow creates a loud noise or scream. There's more suspense in the hotel beds than the plot itself! The conclusion then arrives and...well...it ends. Literally bang bang, hugs and tears and then the credits roll. The pointlessness of the film meant that its conclusion amounted to nothing, it couldn't even end properly. I endured this savagery, this uninspired piece of rubbish, just for it to end abruptly. I'm done. This film has ended my existence. I cannot be saved, there is no going back. Goodbye.
The remake of prom night seemed like a great way to fix the disco era music video feel and style while still keeping the suspenseful cult horror atmosphere for a new generation in love with old school movie. Instead it was a remake in name only about a girl named Donna being stalked by her obsessed teacher who will do anything to have her.While it takes the supposed suspect in the original as the villain he's neither freaky, memorable or poses a danger to his beloved. Instead it takes all the clichés you come to expect and hams it into a bland colorful coming of age teen movie. The rating prevented any bloody carnage, sex scenes or drug used the original never shied away from squandering any chance for a successful remake.None of the actors, besides Brittany Snow, offered any worth wild performances and are written so poorly you stop caring if they live or die. Donna is the only one capable of emotion, has a great personality and I felt the fear and horror she went through making her survival a treat. The only praise besides that is the opening family massacre which set the mood wonderfully and if it followed that throughout it would've been on the same level as scream.
Honestly, I don't know what a lot of people are talking about. The acting is pretty good to me and there are a decent amount of horror scenes that make you jump up. I guess there's not as much gore as I'd expect it but the little amount of gore that they had in this movie was very well done and it looked pretty real unlike some other horror movies these days that go way over the top with orange and pink blood. I love horror movies myself but I'm not picky if there's a little extra something in a horror movie. For instance, I think the problem with this movie is that it is claimed to be a horror movie but actually there are the same amount of drama scenes and action scenes. Not to mention that there seemed to be a lot more suspense scenes than horror scenes. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and I really think that the acting on the actors starring in this movie was well done.
