Review of Prom Night

It was a memory she couldn't forget, but her nightmare has just begun.

I wasn't impressed. Basically, the only "horror" in this film were the surprises, such as when Donna got startled by her aunt standing behind her in the bathroom. Other than that.. zilch. I couldn't find myself actually liking the film, and I was actually annoyed by all the characters. Going where they're not supposed to, investigating weird noises, screaming their heads off instead of doing something to survive... ugh. Really.
Donna Keppel (Snow) is trying to forget the horrors of her past and face the future with a smile on her face. Unfortunately for her, the past still haunts her, both in her dreams and whenever she is awake. Three years ago, one of her teachers, Richard Fenton (Schaech) developed a deadly obsession, and after Donna's parents got a restraining order for him and made him lose his job in Donna's school, Fenton went to her house and killed her father, younger brother, and stabbed Donna's mother before her very eyes (she was hiding under her brother's bed). He was subsequently caught, arrested, and after pleading to insanity, was locked up for life. However, three days before Donna's senior prom, he escaped. Donna knew nothing about this, and she, along with her boyfriend Bobby (Porter), her two best friends Lisa (Davis) and Claire (Stroup), and their boyfriends, Ronnie (Pennie) and Michael (Blatz), prepared for their big night. Detective Winn (Elba), the policeman who brought Fenton in three years ago, learns about Fenton's escape and rushes to inform Donna's aunt and uncle. However, it appears as if Winn is too late, as Fenton has already checked into the hotel where Donna is having her senior prom, and is slowly killing her friends one by one.
Slow. Boring. Ho-hum. No thrills or chills, and even the presence of Twilight alum, Kellan Lutz (as Rick Leland) wasn't able to salvage this film. Watch if you must.
