Prom Night (2008) followed every scary movie cliché out there. I have seen many remakes/sequels and almost everyone of them has been a disappointment. I have to question why it seems necessary to remake so many movies…are there no original movie scripts left?
The theater was filled with an abundance of prepubescent teens thrilled with the prospect of seeing a horror flick without their parents and even they laughed at the predictability of this movie. You actually know who the killer is from the start and there is no mystery or surprise ending to help things along.
Save your cash…it is definitely a rental!

The Ruins, in my opinion, was a fabulous read and I totally enjoyed
the book. The movie stayed fairly true to the book with only a few
character changes…overall they did a good job in translating it to the
big screen.
I enjoyed the visual effects, but the terrifying sounds and screams
of the plant monsters along with their human victims helped to make
this an incredibly effective horror film. There is the cast, which is
quite good, their acting above par for the genre and as a result we
get to know and care for the characters…which is always a plus. I did
think the ending was a little weak.
All in all… it’s more original than the countless horror remakes and
sequels that have been flooding the theaters recently.
I would recommend this movie to anyone that loves to sit back with a
tub of popcorn and just escape the daily grind.
First, let me tell you that this film is shot just like a very shaky home video…so…if you get motion sick…don’t try to watch it because you won’t be able to get through it. More »
One Missed Call…. really missed the mark with me! I have heard all of my life that you get what you pay for…well paying full price for a ticket to this flick proved that statement wrong.
The mediocre acting, poor special effects and a bizarre plot line really make this one a “straight to rental movie”…you know…cold rainy night…nothing on TV…and all the good stuff rented. I was looking for something different and I am still looking.
Don’t waste your money on this one!
