prom night be a title only remake of the 1980 slasher flick that star jamie lee curtis and leslie nielsen . this movie take place in an oregon town and where donna ( brittany snow ) be about to go to her senior prom and let herself have some fun after go through some extremely traumatic event in the past few year . she and her friend arrive at the prom and which be take place in a grand hotel and and try and enjoy what be suppose to be the most fun night of their life . little do anyone know and a man from donna past and who have haunt her for year and be also at the prom . and be willing to kill anyone in way of his pursuit of her . i be a fan of the original prom night and so i try to maintain a little hope in this movie and but i have to admit i be quite disappointed . prom night suffers from the bad affliction a horror movie could have and and that be predictability . there be absolutely no surprise here and and i felt i have see everything in this movie do dozen of time and often well and before . what do this equate to for the audience . boredom . unless of course you have never see any horror movie and or be part of the pre teen crowd and but the majority of the audience will most likely be able to guess nearly everything that be go to happen . the plot be simplistic and but the entire script be void of any type of surprise and twist and atmosphere and or anything and and this really and really hurt the movie because it never really give the audience anything to sink their teeth into . it all just seem very bland . a lot of people seem to complain with the fact that this be a pg 13 slasher movie a well and and i understand what they be say and but i do not think it impossible to make a good slasher movie with minimal gore . take carpenter halloween for example little to no on screen violence and but still an extremely frightening and effective movie . you do not need gore to make a film scary and but even have prom night be gratuitously violent ( which it be not and it be very tame ) and it still would have add little to the movie because there be not much in the script to build on to begin with . the tension and suspense here be mild at best and and i spend most of the movie predict the outcome of situation and and be correct about 99 % of the time . our character aren not well write enough either for the audience to make any connection to them and and their by the number demise be routine and careless . i will point out a few thing i do like about this movie and though and because it wasn not completely useless the cinematography be really nice and and everything be very well film and fairly stylish . among the jump scare ( that be for the most part very predictable ) and there be a few that be kind of clever . the set for the movie be nice too and the hotel be a neat place for the plot to unfold and however predictable the unfolding may be . a for the acting and it mediocre at best . brittany snow play the lead decently and but really the rest of the cast doesn not show off much talent . johnathan schaech play the villain and and be probably the most experienced performer here and but even he isn not that impressive . however and i do like the character he play and which be a nice change from the typical amasked stalker type killer we see a lot . as far a the end go and the last fifteen minute of the film have me bore to my wit end and it be very anti climactic . overall and prom night be a disappointment . everything be very by the number and routine and and predictable and which be somewhat upsetting consider this have the potential to be a decent slasher movie . there be a few neat moment and but the movie lack any suspense or atmosphere and and have little plot development and nor believable character . i would advise seasoned horror fan to save their money and wait till it out on video and or rent the original instead and because there be absolutely no surprise here . some may find a little entertainment in it and but it be far too predictable for my taste . i expect good and and leave the theater very disappointed . negative .
