This review is from: Hello Mary Lou:Prom Night 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

One of Jamie Lee Curtis' first films was a little independent Canadian film by the name of "Prom Night". It was amateurish, but indicative of the times with regard to horror films. That was 1980. 1987 brings us "Hello Mary Lou, Prom Night 2" and the amateurishness of this film just seems sad. Oddly, the first film and this one both have believable acting. It's just that in this film, the script seems to be a mish-mash of stuff thrown together in an attempt to cash in on the first film's fame in Ms. Curtis' shadow.

Mary Lou Maloney (in one of those 20 years ago sort of sequences) is a major slut (what this has to do with anything is beyond me) and dies a horrible death when chosen as prom queen and her jilted boyfriend seeks to humiliate her, but instead kills her. Instead of being a slut, she could surely just have jilted her boyfriend and the story would not have been affected.

1987: Dishwater blond, crimped long hair: our heroine is up for Prom Queen. (I don't know how, because this girl is a mousey little thing). She's dating the principal's son (who, I think we're to assume is a major stud puppy, but it is never really fleshed out). She comes from a strict Catholic family. This is a plot point that seems irrelevant until you realize that the overly religious mother and the pasty faced daughter are a sad attempt to have us think of "Carrie". In fact, there are several references to "Carrie" and "The Exorcist." One boy repeatedly refers to a girl as being "possessed," acting like "Linda Blair," and several other Exorcist references. It is a real groaner, he is killed and his head turned around croaking out a phrase similar to what Linda Blair's character did in the Exorcist.

This film moves slow, folks. The story it tells in almost two hours could have been told in 45 minutes. And it's stupid.

. ...

So, while this film isn't scary - you should be very afraid of it - at least seeing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 Number #1 Fan, May 3, 2004

This review is from: Hello Mary Lou:Prom Night 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this movie. I rented the movie every week then the video store sold it. I was so dissapointed! I searched everywhere for it, it took me about 2 years to finally find it. I was so happy! I now watch the movie every day. The plot of the movie is that the school slut Mary Lou Maloney jilts her boyfriend on Prom Night 1957. He then tries to teach her a lesson by setting off a stink bomb. She then wins Prom Queen then he sends off the stink bomb and it lands close to her dress and she burns to death. 30 years later she comes back for revenge. THIS MOVIE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite horror movies is Carrie so when Mary Lou came out in the late 80's in theaters I was really excited...I thought that this movie is definately underrated even better than the more well known first one...This movie is alot of fun not really scary but theres some decent scares as well as above average effects...Lisa Schrage did a very good job in playing the lead character Mary Lou...If your at all curious about this movie I recommend it !!
