Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review An attractive cast of young performers lead by Brittany Snow (iHairspray/i) is the main selling point for iProm Night/i, a remake of the 1980 Canadian slasher film starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Snow makes for a capable lead as the sole survivor of her family's massacre at the hands of an obsessed teacher (Jonathan Schaech), who returns three years later to finish his campaign on the eve of her senior prom. While no one's idea of a classic horror film, the Paul Lynch-directed iProm Night/i offered viewers a modest whodunit angle in between the killings; here, the villain's identity is known from the get-go, and what's left is a string of mechanical stalkings (which feature a surprisingly modest amount of blood) and reams of turgid teenspeak, which is handled as best as possible by Snow and her cast mates. The end result is a dull, suspense-free chiller that manages to make its mediocre source material seem inspired by comparison. Older moviegoers may note the presence of actors Idris Elba and James Ransone, both used so well on iThe Wire/i, and so thoroughly wasted here. --iPaul Gaita, Amazon.com/i

Revill (UK) I got this off my sister for free, who dosent really like horrors. I also bought it expecting to be a dull, pointless thriller, so I only watched it after a week. But as soon as the movie started, I regretted leaving it for a week. br / br /Let's start with the first part. The part where Donna watches her family get mudered by her derranged, phychopath of a 'secret' admirer. The acting is amazing and Richard plays the part really well. The penny drops when Richard says 'where's Donna? She's the one I want!' whilst brutally mudering Donna's mother. Overall, amazing. br / br /Next, we get to the point where Richard gets into the hotel where Donna's prom night party is. I only realized that Richard shaved his hair to hide his identity right up until he gives Donna strange looks and looks away angrily when Donna and her boyfreind kiss. I think that part keeps the flow and suspense right up high. br / br /The movie from here whizzes past with murders and suspense, mixxed with love and hate. br / br /As the fantastic conclusion draws closer, you suddenly realize the effort put into this genuine horror, and you also realize what a truly amazing film this is. br / br /I reccomend this movie to those who love a movie that has a fantastic storyline and plot, and a genuine scare here and there. Five stars all the way. br / br /Fantastic Amazing film!! a must-see!! September 29, 2008 K. M. Smith-cooper 2 out of 4 found this review helpful This film is an emotional thriller its brilliant to watch and has you on the edge of your seat all the way throught..love it!! x Beware Negative Reviews! January 17, 2009 David Eade (BEVERLEY, United Kingdom) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I nearly didn't buy this DVD because of the negative reviews posted here. How can people criticise a movie for not having enough blood, swearing or violence? This is well-directed, has a strong story with some clever twists and characters that you actually root for. I watched "Mandy Lane", which another reviewer mentions, and found it crass beyong belief. So, each to his own, I say, but don't be put off by the other reviews. If you want a classy thriller, this is the one for you. Really good night October 6, 2009 Douglas Tucker (Alness Scotland) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful There are a few negative reviews about this film, of which I cannot understand, as I really enjoyed this film, I thought this film was very entertaining from start to finish, I recommend this film. Much better than expected. July 3, 2009 Edna Little (Stockport, England.) I was unsure whether to buy the DVD because of some of the dud bad reviews. I^m glad I did though as it turned out to be a really good psycho murder movie. br /I can only presume the bad reviews were because this film wasn^t made for the adolescent male viewer. Truck loads of gore and lots of topless females showing their Fake boobs. br /The film starts with a teacher who becomes obsessed with one of his pupils. He stalks her then breaks into her home and murders her family. br /3 Years later he escapes from the mental facility, and returns on the night of her prom. No one is safe from him including her friends, and anyone else who gets in his way. br /It moves at a good pace. It reminds you of the original horror/slasher films like "Halloween" in that it it^s a good suspenseful story. br /Good acting from everyone involved. br /The DVD extras are good. The making of, blooper reel and more. br /If you like psychopath murder/ horror slasher films that are more intelligent then this is recommended. Showing reviews 1-5 of 14 1 2 3 Next »
