Steineded How sad is this?

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Stevieboy666 Canadian slasher movie starring Leslie Nielsen & arguably the most famous scream queen/final girl of all time Jamie Leigh Curtis. Simple plot about teens getting killed in revenge for the death of a child several years before. Apart from the opening sequence there's very little horror until the final half hour, ie the Prom Night, where the unknown killer makes an appearance. The microphone also makes several appearances throughout! Some slasher fans may get bored, and the endless disco scenes won't help. Apart from a decapitation there's not much gore either. However this is one of the best known titles from the Golden Age of the slasher movie & is essential viewing for those of us who just love these films.

skybrick736 One of the first dominoes to fall in a long line of slasher movies was the hit slasher, Prom Night. The film takes a typical approach when it comes to a slasher's timeline, starts off with a murder, exit frame, que "x" number of years to present time and build the tension to the final scenes. The premise of Prom Night and many of the slasher is taken right from Halloween's playbook. However, the lack of creative in the script is made up in other areas of the film. Jamie Lee Curtis performance is a stellar reminder when she is the top Scream Queen, it was a complete transformation from past characters while maintaining a likable, believable character. The surrounding cast were all unique characters too and didn't bring down the movie with poor performances. It's a slow burn up to the ending but it is eventually worth it, with a pretty good payoff that some may not expect coming.

Sober-Friend I saw this film at the drive-in. My sister & I and group of friends saw this film along with the movie "Don't Go In The House". Well I loved the film when I was kid and I still like it now. Now I have seen all the other films this movie stole from. This film is equal parts "Halloween" "Psycho" and "Carrie" however those films are superior. In this film a 10 year old girl dies when she playing a twisted little game with a group of friends. A innocent man Leonard Murch gets convicted of the crime. 6 years later on Prom Night we learn the man has escaped and out for revenge.Now SPOILERS AHEAD When we see who the killer at the end there is red stuff all over his face. Is it blood or lipstick? Well I know! If you have only seen this film on DVD you are seeing a poor transfer of the film. For years people have debated on what on his lips! Is blood from a wound or lipstick? Well the actor told me himself it is LIPSTICK. Alex morphed into Robin to kill off the right people who were responsible for the death of Robin. He told me "He even now stutters like Robin" Now there. He actually dies as Robin. Now there is a throw away line when Kim's (Jamie Lee Curtis) mother is looking for her lipstick. This is the lipstick the killer has on at the end.The Blu-Ray Disc however has a far better picture than the old DVD. You can now tell it is lipstick and not blood!This 1980 film is still a fun film to watch. The Cheesy Dance Sequence is good a for a few laughs. I just wish the 2008 film "Prom Night" would of been a true remake and not just share the same title.

SnoopyStyle Little kids play hide-and-seek in an abandoned convent and cause the death of little Robin Hammond. Six years later, Kelly Lynch, Jude Cunningham, Wendy Richards and Nick McBride are in Alexander Hamilton Senior High School hiding the secret of that day. Mr. Hammond (Leslie Nielsen) principal of the school, his wife and their kids Kim (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Alex still mourn the lost. Some creep is calling the four kids and threatening their prom night. Nick is going with Kim to the prom. Meanwhile the police suspects sex offender Leonard Merch killed Robin and hounded him to a fiery crash. He turned catatonic but has just escaped from the mental hospital.This is a Canadian B-movie horror. It's not completely horrible as some other low budget productions of that genre. However one would be kidding to claim this to be a good movie. It does have Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen. That's the good part but everybody else is at least a step down. The police part is a waste of time. Overall, there isn't anything interesting. The other kids aren't compelling. The dialog is really clunky at times. It may be only my problem but I suffered through some bad lighting. There are whole sections of near total darkness. The disco is pretty cheesy. This is a generally inferior product.
