 2.5/4 |
Though a remake in name only, Prom Night nevertheless improves considerably upon its eponymous predecessor... Full Review |

 2/5 |
I liked the way in which the teens find ever-more elaborate pretexts to take themselves off, alone, into the darkness to investigate this or that. Full Review |

0/5 |
This do-over isn't so much an improvement over the original as lousy in a whole new direction, a nearly bloodless slasher film with fewer surprises than a broken jack-in-the-box. Full Review |

One of the most memorable nights in a teenager's young life is grist for a pretty unmemorable movie in this tame horror entry that follows conventions to the letter. Full Review |

1/4 |
PROM NIGHT is a must avoid and is the real reason why studios don't screen certain movies for critics. Full Review |

|
|
Annoyingly, it's a rich premise that offers all sorts of possibilities...yet McCormick doesn't appear to be bothered. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Well-dressed, sure, with a few kicks for green teens, but hardly a wild night. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
A caffeine-free horror that's just as dull, disappointing and dispiriting as attending a real high school prom. Full Review |
||
|
1/6 |
By far the worst ‘slasher movie’ remake to date, replaying all the clichés, but delivering none of the guilty pleasures. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Corny, monotonous and very far from scary Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Bog-standard, unimaginative and oddly bloodless. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Every cheap-scare trick in the genre is deployed, but so feebly that not one of them works. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
If early slasher films, as their critics claimed, punished teens for having sex, the new 'Prom Night' punishes teens for their conspicuous consumption (stretch limos, hotel suites, and so on). Full Review |
||
|
2/10 |
It's tepid fare with a vacuous cast, particularly when compared with the previous version featuring Jamie Lee Curtis as the scream queen. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
While it's certainly not as atrocious as the likes of "One Missed Call," it's certainly one of the worst of 2008, so far... Full Review |

This movie accomplishes the impossible: It makes you disappointed not to be disappointed by a disappointing twist ending. Full Review |
||
|

There's no need to wear a corsage to Prom Night. And leaving your higher brain functions at home might be a good idea, too. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Tedious slasher flick is both gory and boring. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
It's a PG-13 slasher picture. This means the results are vaguely on par with having sex through a blanket. Full Review |
