One problem for this movie in my opinion is the wild body placements: a loft or a car trunk on the outside?! It's possible that he could have gotten outside with a body--if he was clandestine enough; there is a network of stairs and police were busy guarding the prom and extra security was on Donna. Second entrances should be accounted for always(IT'S STANDARD OP FOR A ROACH OR RAT TO OPERATE WHERE PEOPLE WILL NOT LOOK AND A COP SHOULD THINK LIKE A CRIMINAL IN ORDER TO GET HIM), but sometimes they get overlooked. The loft's kind of iffy; they should have lost that, because that would mean getting blood on the carpet and for him to be a major bodybuilder: he didn't look like the type! Why go through the trouble of doing those 2 things when there's space under the bed. What hotel has one of those anyway?! The other one would be how the bodies kept conveniently popping up out of nowhere as the cops or Donna was passing by from the hiding space that the killer hid them WITHOUT REASON! I don't have problem with Donna's lack of emotion; she's lost her family and probably having post traumatic stress over this guy since; her emotions and emotional states are maybe beyond repair outside of divine intervention! Misery has bigger problem than this movie and I'm sure it got a pass; after all, Stephen King was behind that! Problems with Misery: 1. Him rolling around in a wheelchair as he did when Wilkes was probably going to be back within an hour or sooner! We have lived in a rural setting all my life and it took us about 20 minutes to go to the store at most no matter where we have lived at. So, he did not have all that time to go lazily through the house. 2. Then, he had stolen the pills; I accept that, but the knife?! And Paul didn't think repercussions were coming when his nurse had a medical chest full of things to do to him and could implement them whenever she wanted?! 3. Also, why would Paul have to write Misery back to life, if Annie burned his manuscript that never got published? THESE ARE 3 CRITICAL ERRORS THAT DOOM THAT MOVIE FROM BEING COMPLETED! To me, Prom Night has small errors compared to that classic!

Having survived a traumatic experience, a teenager and her friends decide to celebrate her senior prom when they learn one of her ex- teachers who harbored a psychotic crush on her has escaped from jail and is out stalking them at the hotel and must stop the madman.There wasn't a whole lot here that actually worked for the film. One of the few bright spots is the fact that it gets off and running at a fairly early time, as there's a fairly fun pace to this moving along quite quickly here. It's barely half-an-hour into this one before the first attack comes and the relatively high body count works much more in it's favor since it starts knocking them off quite early on and gets the most out of these few sections. The only other fun part of the film is that it's got a couple of really entertaining stalking scenes which are better than expected and are quite enjoyable at times, as the first stalking scene in the under- construction segment is rather good, with the creepy setting coming into fantastic use, the action is really nice and the whole sequence works really nice as well as a really good sequence where he stalks her within the hotel room that is quite good and a little intense at times. These here are the film's overall best qualities as there's a whole lot of problems with this one that really hold it down. One of the main ones is that this one is just so tame as the kills are just done with a simple knife. To have them be singularly stabbings is where it really fails by not offering any creativity to the kills with this one since it's incredibly embarrassing to witness the kills in this as there's hardly anything to see when the stab-wounds aren't visible at all, merely marked by a small red dot on the article of clothing near the area where the knife entered. That's considering that you can even tell where the kill took place as most of the time this is edited in such a way as to make sure that the official killing method isn't determined so as to make sure that no one is really offended by this one. That seems to it's entire spiel, to be sure that no one is offended, as there's no blood or gore during the kills, the ones we can see are so tame a kindergartner wouldn't be offended at it, offers no nudity or sleaze despite this being about prom night for high-schoolers and features a resulting feel of just being so completely tame and harmless that it's really almost enough to knock it down because of that. Another problem is a completely glossed-over back-story that really doesn't do much of anything to explain rationale, motives, or anything at all. Rather, it's just explicitly stated as being a crush and the one time something could've been done with it, the keeping of journals with photos and thoughts about her, nothing is done. It's a grand missed- opportunity to really give this one something to it, and it fails on that mark badly. The last big flaw to this one is the fact that the never-ending series of utter stupidity presented from everybody here. The characters' constantly go wandering off by themselves to investigate the disappearance of their friends, all of which is done at the exact same area which makes them really stupid, but the biggest ones goes to the police for failing to inform others of what has happened. That should've been top-priority once news leaked of the escape, yet that doesn't happen and really makes them look foolish once this happened. All of these here lower this one considerably.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

Donna is a high school student who is attending her senior prom. A obsessed high school teacher has escaped from his asylum who wants her. I think this movie is okay and I wouldn't rate it a one. Her acting can be a little horrible at times but I find the movie like any other. Johnathon plays a very well serial killer and can look intimidating. Unfortunately the kills are very basic and very boring. It is nothing new and everyone basically gets killed in the same manner. If I could change something about this movie it would mostly be the killings. Since it is pg-13, you hardly see him doing the damage, just the aftermath. No gore and little spots of blood here and there.

Donna Keppell (Brittany Snow) comes home one night, and witnesses her parents being murdered by a psychopath obsessed with Donna named Richard Fenton (Johnathon Schaech) The killer is locked up, and Donna gets over it, thanks to the help of her friends. Prom Night is supposed to be the night Donna will never forget. Sadly for Donna, Richard Fenton escapes, and begins to terrorize Donna & her friends on Prom Night. I love slasher's. I'm not that persnickety about them at all, but let's face it. The original was OK at best, but it was at least tolerable. This isn't really a remake. I did admire that it does its own thing, but it couldn't be any more mundane if it tried. It has a slick set-up. The opening is quite riveting, and I thought I might be in for a pleasant surprise. The obsession storyline was basic and effective. There was nothing flashy about it, and that was fine with me. Sadly, I couldn't turn out to be more wrong about being pleasantly surprised. This lacks suspense, creativity, scares, or thrills of any kind. It throws in everything I hate about slasher movies these days with plot holes that baffled me. Why are all of the cops such bumbling idiots? How did it take them that long to think that maybe the killer would attempt to disguise himself? The characters, except for Brittany Snow are all disposable, and I didn't give a damn about any of them. They are so vague and thinly written, it's impossible to care about their fates. They're so interchangeable it's not even funny. Brittany Snow is the movie's lone saving grace. Her performance is so strong that it makes you wonder what she's doing in this film in the first place. She's beautiful, convincing, sympathetic, and more importantly, likable. I did care about what was going to happen to her, and I give all the credit to Snow. Good stuff, woman! Why didn't Rob Zombie cast her as Laurie Strode in Halloween? She would've been ideal! Scott Porter has to be one of the blandest jocks I've ever seen in my life. This kid couldn't conjure up a personality if his life depended on it. He had no chemistry with Snow, either. Idris Elba is fine as the detective, but did they have to write his character to be that stupid? Schaech is decent as the killer, but we don't know why he's so obsessed. Kellan Lutz has an insignificant role for the women that go nuts over him. Linden Ashby plays Snow's uncle. That's noteworthy for me, because he's Johnny, freaking Cage! How cool would it be to have Ashby for an uncle? The blood is drier than a popcorn fart. Not only are some of the deaths pointless, but bloodless as well. We get an average slit throat, stabbings, and that's about it. This should also be nominated for having one of the most anti-climatic endings I've ever seen. Final Thoughts: The IMDb rating is spot on, if you like your horror movies, teeny bopperish, with no imagination what so ever, this one's for you. Brittany Snow deserved better than this crap. I'd revisit my prom with Brittany Snow any day!3.7/10
