  5. A caffeine-free horror that's just as dull, disappointing and dispiriting as attending a real high school prom. Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 6, 2008

  6. Prom Night is a formula slasher film, with plenty of the slasher trappings, but there are some elements that raise this film above some of the others of it kind. The director gives this movie a truly dark and eerie atmosphere, with the help of Paul Zaza's spooky music score.

  7. PROM NIGHT (2008) directed by: Nelson McCormick. starring: Brittany Snow, Scott Porter, Jessica Stroup, and Dana Davis. plot: Three years ago, Donna (Brittany Snow) witnessed the death of her entire family at the hands of her teacher (Jonathan Schaech) who has a bit of a crush on her.

  8. Deeply flawed, Prom Night is a by-the-numbers horror flick that confuses mere violence with real vitality and substitutes shock for suspense. Compared to better-done examples of the genre (see below), it manages to be both violent and deathly dull.
