Prom Night

Pros: Twists and turns.

Cons: Typical slasher style.

Review: This is one of those horror movies that you can never figure out the ending--no matter how hard you tried. Sure, scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis rides high off the coatheels of Halloween to star in this low budget thrillers. But, for what they did with...

Pros: Well Thought Out Slasher, Awesome Soundtrack, Good Direction

Cons: Some Of The Acting, Slow at times

The Bottom Line: Great Slasher with great direction and a strong cast.

Review: Slasher flicks have been around for a long time now. There has never been a shortage of these awesome movies, but due to the fact that so many slasher films were released, there were a lot of bad ones, and only a handful of good ones, and 'Prom Night' is...

Pros: classic soundtrack, Jamie Lee's performance

Cons: predictable

The Bottom Line: Prom Night is a classic slasher film. Stalk 'n' slash all very well done to an unstoppable disco beat.

Review: Released in 1980, this stylish slasher movie cemented Jamie Lee Curtis as the definitive Scream Queen, no-one could outscream here since she had terror train and halloween already in her credentials.
The movie is set in a small american suburb where...

Pros: Curtis and Nielsen, excellent supporting cast, creepy setting, great disco score

Cons: enough red herrings to open up a fish market

The Bottom Line: JLC's best post-"Halloween" slasher flick.

Review: "Prom Night" (1980) is an effective little whodunit that rode the wave of success spawned two years earlier by John Carpenter's trend-setting classic "Halloween". The film's story, which was written by William Gray and Robert Guza Jr., centers around a...

Pros: Follows suit with other horror movies of that time!

Cons: A lot of loose ends that are never resolved!

The Bottom Line: Slasher movies today are still trying to recreate what was achieved in this one, with good cause!

Review: How often did you see that on the Brady Bunch? Perhaps it is a bit extreme to compare Prom Night to the Brady Bunch. A better comparison would be Prom Night and Scream.

To briefly introduce the story, this much I can tell you. It begins...

Pros: Fun to watch, Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Neilson, good story

Cons: No gore, not scary, a rip off of Friday The 13th, a tad bit slow

The Bottom Line: Although Prom Night has its flaws, it's still a great film in the long run.

Review: Prom night is a night where teenagers come together to do a lot of partying, drug using, drinking, and of course, fornicating, so of course people are going to write a movie about a bunch of killings taken place on this forsaken night besides teen novelis ...

Pros: Acting, Cinematography

Cons: Long Build-up

The Bottom Line: A classic teen slasher film that is very, very Brady.

Review: Sub-category: Teen Thriller, Slasher
Setting: High School
Predictability: Very Predictable
Scare Factor: A Few Spine Chills
Gore Factor: Little Blood, No Guts
Look-at-these: Brief Female...

Pros: Jamie Lee Curtis, Buildup to Prom Night, Killer's identity

Cons: Abrupt ending, clumsily choreographed final fight scene, obvious slasher film clone

The Bottom Line: Rent it if you want to watch an okay slasher film but don't expect it to be the best horror movie you have ever seen.

Review: Obviously after Halloween, people started to see the dollar signs in their mind towards the slasher genre. This lead to alot of clones that were mediocre at best. A fair few of these featured Jamie Lee Curtis as she found her niche as the "scream queen" ...

Pros: It'll appeal to horror fans, Curtis' performance is better than the usual scream queen.

Cons: It is a predictable film with lots of violence.

The Bottom Line: "Prom Night" is a quite good horror film.

Review: There have been many horror films and scream queens in the history of film. Some of the more recent scream queens include Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and many others. The original scream queen has got to be Jaime Lee Curtis though....

Pros: Freshly decapitated head rolls down walkway, revealed by disco spotlights.

Cons: Disco Dancing

Review: Oh boy this is one gem of a horror movie. Why such high praise you ask? Let me break it down for you.

See young children yelling, "KILL KILL KILL".

See Leslie Neilsen in a semi serious role, which is bizarre, I kept on...
