Editorial Reviews

When it comes to an expressive set of lungs for horror, it's hard to match Jamie Lee Curtis, who set the standard for nonstop screaming in Halloween. She built her reputation as a scream queen in such subsequent outings as The Fog, Terror Train, and this similarly themed and relatively subpar horror outing. A progenitor of I Know What You Did Last Summer, this film focuses on four high school friends on prom night who are being stalked by a masked maniac seeking revenge for a death that occurred six years earlier. Guess who lives to tell the tale? --Marshall Fine

Product Description

THE CULT CLASSIC THAT MADE MILLIONS IS BACK! And In Wide Screen!
Prom Night Remake in Theatres April 2008.
Four Hamilton High School seniors have been hiding the truth of what happened to ten-year-old Robin Hammond for six long years. But someone saw what they did and is preparing for revenge--a prom night killing spree. Hooded, masked, and wielding an axe, he'll stalk his prey in the dark, empty halls, striking when his victims are alone. And just as the spotlight falls upon the newly crowned king and queen, the killer will show everyone what his favorite game to play is...

4.0 out of 5 stars "It's not who you go with, it's who takes you home." September 25, 2007
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For a few years, it was hard to obtain a decent DVD copy of this film. The Anchor Bay version had been long out of print and could only be obtained from private sellers at a ridiculous price. I never saw the 1998 Anchor Bay version but heard it was a nice release. The 2004 edition from Alliance Atlantis (or Echo Bridge Home Entertainment) where the cover art displays a knife blade with Jaime Lee Curtis' face reflected was a dispicable release in every way. It was like watching a used VHS copy with terrible picture and sound quality and that is not why DVD's evolved. The companies releasing these films should have to pass some sort of inspection for DVD transfers. At last, Echo Bridge released a new version of Prom Night in 2007 with fancier cover art (Jaime Lee Curtis standing in the school hallway with her prom dress and tiara on holding a bouquet of flowers with a bloody ax in them). I was very impressed with the effort that went into this as it was well done. Great picture quality (the scenes that were too dark to see what was going on before are now visible). Also included was a nice chapter menu and more chapter stops (the previous release only had 5 chapter stops and a bad looking menu). If you are a fan of eighties slashers, this version needs to be in your collection beside Terror Train and Halloween. A nice chase scene with Eddie Benton in this film is also worth savoring. What to recommend is the Australian thriller Road Games featuring Jaime Lee Curtis that many people may have missed. For the genre, I give Prom Night 4 stars. I really liked this one. There was something about the Canadian horror films that made them stand out (Black Christmas and Happy Birthday to Me were some others). Another Canadian horror gem I'm still waiting patiently for is Curtains which has unfortunately not seen the light of day on DVD yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killers are coming. Kill, Kill, Kill. July 18, 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
When I first looked up Prom Night, everyone seemed to think that it was not a good movie. Then I bought it, and I realized that these people were wrong. There was nothing wrong with the movie. The storyline was similar to I Know What You Did Last Summer, but it was still original. Four children play some game that ends in the accidental death of a girl. Like I Know What You Did Last Summer, they make a desperate attempt to cover up the crime. The four of them make a pact, and they leave the body for the police to discover it. Seven years later, the four have forgotten the whole thing. That's when they began to get the creepy phone calls and death threats. When Prom Night arrives, the terror begins. Soon, sex and murder wil take place. The four will realize that someone grew up waiting to get their revenge. It kind of surprised me when I saw Leslie Nielsen starring in the movie. He is normally the type that goes out for spoofs and comedies. He crates an outstanding performance in this film. I remember the part where Jamie Lee Curtis dances in something similar to Saturdany Night Fever. Overall, this movie is supenseful as it is gory. I would recommend this to any who wants to see a movie that builds up suspense and spine-tingling horror.

3.0 out of 5 stars IT AIN'T NO HALLOWEEN July 18, 2005
Format:DVD
..but one has to give credit to PROM NIGHT for being one of the first teen slasher flicks to also attempt to be a compelling mystery. 70s scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis followed up her HALLOWEEN, THE FOG and TERROR TRAIN as the heroine of the film, whose biggest scene is a laughably non-erotic disco dance at the prom. Leslie Nielsen is around as Jamie's principal dad, but he's hardly in the film at all. Annemarie (Eddy) Benton takes on one of her many slutty roles as the bitchy vixen out to spoil the prom for Jamie and her date, who happens to be Benton's ex. The mystery is pretty easy to solve, and the pace is a little slow by today's standards, but PROM NIGHT is representative of what we could expect in the coming years of teen slashers.
