Prom Night (2008)

It's not a classic slasher in the realm of Halloween type, but it's one to see if you are a fan of slasher movies.

i saw prom night yesterday, it was so terrible i ended up walking out after the first kill, they didnt even show any blood!!!!! whats going on with the horror genre, lately its been suffering in my opinion, but there is a new horror flick coming out called the ground house, i have a strong interest in this upcoming horror movie because its being filmed locally ( philly and nj)and i met some of the cast at a horror convention, the movies looks pretty interesting, and i heard tony todd is in it!!! i loved him in all the candyman movies! so there is still hope!!!

I've seen the original. The remake looks terrible.

My friend saw it with his girlfriend and said it was one of the worst movies he's ever seen.

The problem is hollywood is running out of good idea's for horror movies and so now they make remakes only the remakes aren't always as good as the originals...like for instance I loved the remake of the hills have eyes but I didn't like the remake of halloween. And yet some how these remakes are actually making money and getting into the no.1 spot in the box office.

So is your solution to end the thought of all remakes? You say that remakes are a problem, but you enjoyed Hills have Eyes. You dont think that remakes should make movie companies money or be in the number 1 spot at the box office? Why not?

One of the main reasons the remakes are made are usually financially. The original, generally, had a good fan base that will most definitely see a newmovie in theaters. More attendance equals more money for the movie companies.

I don't see a problem with remakes. Think of the movies we wouldn't have been able to watch if there were no remakes.

Ocean's Eleven
Hills have Eyes
Scarface
Dawn of the Dead

I know they are not all horror, but those were just off the top of my head. They were all remakes that were very well done and based on an equally impressive movie. So don't blame the thought of remakes just because you didn't like a few movies.

Back to the topic of the thread. I haven't seen the remake of Prom Night. I probably will, but I doubt it will be as good as the original. Although I hope to be surprised.

Didn't see the original, but there literally was no point to this movie.

It.........it was just dumb. I don't even want to get into how shitty it was.

Hey I didn't say all remakes are bad...but most of them are, yes we get the odd few good ones but some these remakes are terrible and even you can't deny that

Selphie, was the

Spoiler:
killer the lead's brother

Don't highlight Selphie if you want to see the original just incase they have changed it in the remake.

my sister watched it with her friends. she said it was more of a sad film than a horror.

Yea i've heard its a crap film just like the original if thats what they were going for they succeded.

Original isn't that bad, has its moments for a slasher movie. One of the memorable slashers imo.

I thought the original was terrible. So I avoided this one. I heard from a buddy that this one was worse.

I agree, the original was bad enough, why try to modernize with come hip lingo?

I'm glad I know someone over at Sony Pictures. This was horrible.

I thought the original was ok and like MP said one of the more memorable slashers, it was trying to be more of a mystery or a thriller so introduced those elements to the genre and it had decent production values and atmsophere for a low budget film of this type, that said it wasnt great and for me is one of the 2nd tier slashers, the problem with these remakes is they remove what made the films good in the first place, because they dont understand what it is and they want to get a pg13 or low rating so they can get the young kids in so they neuter the films, but they make the money in the opening week so they dont care if the films are any good.

There has never been a remake of Scarface. I think Al Pacino will outclass any actor that might attempt to remake the character. Big shoes to fill.

I would agree with Ocean's 11 only. 'Hills' and 'Dawn" are always on cable around Halloween time.

I think thats the problem right there. Horror movies should be rated R. They tone down movies a lot to make them PG-13. I avoid PG-13 horror movies like a plague.

The problems with horror movies is that their current writers are clowns.

Their mostly obese idiots with little experience and no strength, or piece of mind. Their not inspired, they haven't seen the ugly side of life, they grew up sheltered.

The good movies came from writers who had stories to tell.

Merging. Again.

There has been a remake of Scarface. The movie that you are referring to IS the remake. Hence the reason it was listed.
