Advantages: It's under 90-minutes Disadvantages: Tired old cliches of genre, no scares, tame
Has it really come to this? We're now being offered up remakes of seventies horror films that aren't even remakes, they're just borrowing the name.
Next along on this rancid meat train is Prom Night, a film that puts the Ho Hum in Horror.
The Prom is the pinnacle of the year for high school seniors, a chance for students to let their hair down, smuggle in some booze and generally act more annoying that usual.
Our heroine Donna is dressed up and ready to move on with her life. She's still suffering the mental scars of having her family murdered by her former teacher who took obsession to a whole new level. But as the prom get's underway, wouldn't you know it, the crazy killer has escaped from his mental institution and is ready to put his knife skills in operation.
What ensues for about 80-minutes is bland and boring mix ...
Prom night is yet another remake about Donna Keppel, a girl, who, three years ago, saw her mother murdered before her very eyes by Richard Fenton, one of her high school teachers who has become obsessed with her. Tonight, it's her senior prom, and along with her friends, want to make it a night to remember. And it will be, but for all the wrong reasons...
If you're a fan of horror movies, avoid this, you've seen much better elsewhere. If not, don't see this because this will not show you how good a horror movie can be, quite the opposite in fact.
The cliches are too many to count. Everyone is impossibly handsome, you've got generic rock/indie band # 40987 playing tunes you won't remember 5 minutes from now and the characters barely register. The general shock tricks are pulled out here, from characters appearing out of the darkness ...
Advantages: 3 brilliant stories out of 5 Disadvantages: 2 stories not so good out of 5
reading this one, but maybe I was too excited.
Everyone's gone to the prom with the wrong person so there's fight blundering everywhere. there was contradictory along with Guy talks and girl talks, but in the middle of it all is a child in the girl?s bathroom with voodoo dolls...
This one was confusing and felt the same way Meg Cabot's did, as if it was missing a start and an ending, maybe they were maybe they were supposed to be that way, but I can't possibly try to understand.
Overall this is a book to get (in my opinion) it works well and maybe you'd understand the stories I did not. I think most people would enjoy this book, but I should tell you not to read to or give to a child it might not suit them and possibly give them nightmares. This book is only £6.99 but you could easily find it cheaper, I put this book up ...
