Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
michael-3204 Very low-budget, amateurish horror film that seems to be mostly the one-man show of Kazeem Molake, who wrote, produced, edited and directed and, according to the credits, executed all sorts of other tasks as well, including voicing the disguised killer who hijacks a Hummer limo carrying eight seniors to their high school prom. Molake clearly has some talent and skill, but not enough to know where he needs help, especially with regard to sound recording, which is pretty terrible, not that the dialogue you can hear is at all memorable or interesting.This is the kind of home-made film where all the background extras are credited, probably in lieu of payment. It makes use of lots of footage supposedly taken from various security, hand-held and cellphone cameras, but doesn't adhere strictly to the "found footage" aesthetic. The best thing about "Prom Ride" is the editing -- Molake manages to stitch together all these different vantage points coherently, in a way that doesn't lose viewers, though there are a few instances where it's not quite clear what was happening. He keeps the film visually dynamic, which is no small feat in a movie where the action is confined to a small space for much of its run-time. It's not especially visually creative -- we don't see anything here we haven't seen before, though I did like the killer's mirror mask -- but shooting from so many angles and sources on such a low budget and stitching something together that isn't a complete mess is an achievement in itself.Alas, the story is inane, as are the characters, if they can even be called that. "Prom Ride" is an object lesson in how to write so blandly that we spend what feels like hours with these seniors without getting to know or understand them at all. Perhaps that's just as well, given that their actions and motivations make no sense, and aren't remotely compelling. Cutting the bizarre musical number that looked like an audition reel for "High School Musical" could have helped. Cutting the entire poorly executed news-footage framing device would definitely have helped. But nothing can create interesting characters except good writing coupled with good acting, neither of which is on display here. Very little is asked of the attractive cast, and that's exactly what they deliver.Molake may go on to do much better work down the road. If he does, "Prom Ride" is probably something he and everyone else involved with it will want to bury.
Kat Webb Given a limited budget, I would love to see them create a better movie. I bet they wouldn't know where to begin. A good movie doesn't have to be one that has top actors and has won a zillion academy awards.This is one of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time, and actually led to me buying it after watching it on Amazon Prime. That's because it doesn't have a complicated story, or complicated characters. A good movie doesn't have to be one that taxes your brain to figure out what's going on. Although much of the movie plays like a found-footage movie, it isn't dull and keeps my attention well.Recommended for your Halloween movie list.
dcarsonhagy I usually try not to rip into a movie so severely that it seems I might have an ax to grind with the particular genre, but in this case, I'll throw caution to the wind."Prom Ride" is a movie that (a) should never have been made; (b) is one of the most vile and contemptible movies I have ever seen; (c) forces the boundaries of good taste to the limits; and (d) tries to take the torture porn genre to new heights. The story goes something like this: prom night, eight seniors are all dressed up, dad has rented a rolling house (in the form of a stretch limo), everybody drinks, secrets are revealed, and (just about) everybody dies. Along the way, the viewer is forced to watch rape, forced oral sex on a loaded gun (with the executioner giving instructions on how it should be done), a girl who has to urinate in an ice bucket--all the while taping it on her phone in front of her friends--people forced to strip, a lesbian made to wear the clothes of one of the boys because she "wants to be a man." Oh, and that "product" in the ice bucket, well, it is thrown in the face of one of the teens. There is some sort of "twist" ending that did not work at all, but did leave a small possibility of a sequel. I'll alert the media.This big old turd deserves to be flushed as soon as possible. My idea of a good time is NOT having to watch such depraved acts. The torture here is put squarely on the shoulders (and in the eyeballs) of its viewers. The particular version of the movie I saw was rated R, and should have been rated NC-17. I say no one under 18 should be allowed to view this. It takes vile to a whole new level.
atinder Person filming there Prom , there also CCTV in the limoFor me this movie started off to glee(ly) , that singing and dancing scene went on for to long and they time get ready for the prom.to me it seem really odd to have in this movie as the rest of the movie had a different feel to it .Then there limo gets hijacked and messing around with them , tells them to do things or be killed Few secrets come out and some friends started turn on each other this was a odd movie, I found some parts watchable others not and I say the same about the acting I am going to give this a 4 out of 10
