Prom Night

Coming Soon

to Sky Movies

Director: Nelson McCormick

Stars: Brittany Snow, Johnathon Schaech, Scott Porter, Jessica Stroup

Year: 2008 Running Time: 87 mins Rating: Not Rated

College girl Brittany Snow's senior prom turns into a night of terror when the obsessed psycho that offed her family escapes and returns for the last dance. First-time director Nelson McCormick musters plenty of shocks and "he's behind you" moments in this undemanding thriller. Unlike the gory 1980 original, this is easy on the bloodletting and easy on the eye thanks to a preening cast of sports hunks and pneumatic college hotties.

Review

Yes, horror fans, it's another one of those shockers where stupid, beautiful, people do stupid things that turn ugly.

Brittany Snow plays Donna, a troubled teen unsurprisingly traumatised by the brutal murder of her family by obsessed, knife-wielding teacher Richard Fenton (Schaech).

Doughty trouper that she is, Donna's managed to put the past behind her and is looking forward to her senior prom on the tuxedo-clad arm of Alpha Jock Bobby (Porter).

However, Fenton has broken out of his high-security asylum and is heading back to school...and the unsuspecting love of his twisted life.

Prom Night

College girl Brittany Snow's senior prom turns into a night of terror when the obsessed psycho that offed her family escapes and returns for the last dance. First-time director Nelson McCormick musters plenty of shocks and "he's behind you" moments in this workmanlike thriller. Unlike the gory 1980 original, this is easy on the bloodletting and easy on the eye thanks to a preening cast of sports hunks and pneumatic college hotties.
