"Prom Night" is yet another major studio hip and edgy teenish slasher flick that has all of the essential elements to be, at least, moderately successful, yet completely fails on practically every level. Directed by TV veteran Nelson McCormick, the "remake in name only" of the 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis slasher movie, the "new" "Prom Night" has neither atmosphere or suspense, ultimately creating a general sense of boredom throughout its eighty-eight minute running time. The cast is pretty good, but since they all have very little to do, their effort doesn't amount to much. Source
