Was watching Prom Night last night. It’s a horror film and I’m not a great fan of horror but why I’m drawn to watch this movie. Because I wanted to see the prom dresses worn by the casts.
(from L-R) Oh boy, in this movie I’ve seen lots and lots of formal dresses and short dresses worn during the prom night instead of wearing traditional prom gowns. Donna Keppel’s (Brittany Snow) cream and silver strapless formal gown dazzles everyone. Claire’s (Jessica Stroup) short prom dress featured in peach color is really stunning. Lisa’s (Dana Davis) floor length gown, featured in royal blue is both stunning and glamorous for prom.
I will point out a few things I did like about this movie, though, because it wasn’t completely useless – the cinematography is really nice, and everything was very well-filmed and fairly stylish. Among the “jump” scares (that are for the most part very predictable), there were a few that were kind of clever. The sets for the movie are nice too and the hotel is a neat place for the plot to unfold, however predictable the unfolding may be. As for the acting, it’s mediocre at best. Brittany Snow plays the lead decently, but really the rest of the cast doesn’t show off much talent. Johnathan Schaech plays the villain, and is probably the most experienced performer here, but even he isn’t that impressive. However, I did like the character he played, which was a nice change from the typical ‘masked-stalker’ type killer we see a lot. As far as the ending goes, the last fifteen minutes of the film had me bored to my wit’s end and it was very anti-climactic.
Overall, “Prom Night” was a disappointment. Everything was very by-the-numbers, routine, and predictable, which is somewhat upsetting considering this had the potential to be a decent slasher movie. There were a few neat moments, but the movie lacked any suspense or atmosphere, and had little plot development, nor believable characters. Some may find a little entertainment in it, but it was far too predictable for my tastes. I expected better, and finished the movie very disappointed.
