I would give this move a high 7 or low 8 on a 1-10 scale. The teenage thriller wasn’t as scary as expected. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good movie, but it wasn’t as hair rising as I would like it to be. I did like it how people screamed in the theater when things popped out of dark places!

The name of the movie was Prom Night. The story line is a girl who experienced the murder of her mother while she hid under the bed in her brothers’ room. The killer had slaughtered Donna’s mother, brother and father before she ran from the house screaming. He was confined in a jail far away from Donna; but he escaped 3 years after that to come back for her. It’s Donna’s senior prom and she knows nothing about Richard Fenton escaping from jail, until her prom is almost over. He slaughters everyone is his path to get to her. She runs and runs from him, but she can’t outrun him. It’s only at the end of the movie that the scenes are the most intense!

The main character of the movie are Brittany Snow as Donna Keppel, Scott Porter as her boyfriend Scott, Dana Davis and Jessica Stroup as Donna’s best friends Lisa Hines and Claire. There’s also Claire and Lisa’s dates to prom and current boyfriends Michael and Ronnie Heflin, played by Kelly Blatz and Collins Pennie. Last, but very much not least, there’s Jonathan Schaech, also known as the blood thirsty killer and secret lover of Donna Keppel.

Most of the story took place in the hotel that the prom was held in. There were scenes in almost every part of the hotel. The main places were the ballroom, the rooms that the teenagers had bought for their stay there, the basement, and the hallways, elevators, and front lobby.

I like that the movie is very intense at parts and then it’s very sad at the same time. I don’t like that the movie wasn’t as scary as it should have been. But I still recommend that you watch the movie. It was very good!
