Prom Night – Mine was better than theirs, hands down.

And I say that literally and… cinematically?

Now, I am a pretty tolerant person, and I’m not very critical when it comes to movies. The only time I become so is usually when I buy into the hype, and look forward to seeing said movie, only to be disappointed. Like, I-want-my-hour-and-a-half-BACK disappointed. The movie Prom Night was the second time this has ever happened.

The first time was The Covenant.

Pure hotness in a package of a dodgy script and even dodgier direction.

Well, okay. Maybe the only reason I was ever excited about these two movies was the hotness of the men involved.

I bought into Prom Night purely because of Kellan Lutz, of Stick It and Accepted fame (and soon to be Twilight, but I won’t get started… in THIS post, at least). At least his character didn’t die, although to die in a horror movie your character has to actually DO something, other than date the token bitch. Then again, maybe the moral of the story is: Date a Bitch, Live through the Sitch.

… Or not.

*cough*.

MOVING ON.

My point is, I can safely say that although my school didn’t have a Hollywood budget, we still had a good time. I didn’t exactly have a good time watching this movie.

In a nutshell, Prom Night definitely won’t be rented by me in the future. Or even bought from a $5 dollar throw-out bin.

On second thought… the little part Kellan played WAS probably worth $5…

Prom Night has been put in the “OH MY GOSH!” pile. The first, and only other movie to have been put there was Licensed to Wed. I didn’t even make it through to the end on that one.
