Prom Night takes it's title from a 1980 movie of the same name. The 1980 movie featured a murderer seeking revenge on students six years after they accidentally killed their schoolmate. In this movie, Brittany Snow plays a senior in high school who is still trying to deal with the horrors in her past. Three years before, an obsessed teacher slaughtered her family in order to claim her as his own. He was eventually caught and put in a mental institution. However, on the night of her senior prom, the psycho teacher escapes and tracks her down at the dance, cutting down anyone who gets in his way.

Even though this is a completely different plot than the original film, the story really isn’t all that original and could have used a little more creativity from it's writers. With that said, Prom Night is better paced and well executed.

There’s nothing particularly scary about Prom Night like a horror movie should be but its definitely not boring and worth a one time watch.
