Prom Night

Here was my husband’s take on Prom Night, “This movie is so bad that I am actually angry.” While I didn’t share his exact resentment, I didn’t think the movie was good either. It was everything I expected it to be: cheesy, bad acting, clichéd, predictable, horrible script and most of all not scary. But even with all those terrible attributes I can’t say that I hated this movie. I was fairly entertained for a quiet Saturday night on the couch.



So here’s the short and sweet plot of Prom Night. High school physics teacher Richard Fenton (Johnathon Schaech) becomes obsessed with one of his students, Donna Keppel (Brittany Snow). In an attempt to live happily-ever-after with Donna, Mr. Fenton brutally murders her entire family. She gets away by watching the murders take place from underneath a bed. Three years later, he escapes from a mental institution and wreaks havoc on her senior prom. Murder ensues.


As a side note, I hate the movie poster for this flick. One: the girl in it looks nothing like the star of the movie, Brittany Snow. Two: the star, nor any of her friends, are actually crowned prom queen. Three: The gilr in the poster, whoever she may be, I hate how her hair is all over her face.
