Follow-up, rather than sequel, to "Prom Night", in which accidentally murdered prom queen Mary Lou Maloney (Lisa Schrage) possesses the body of potential prom queen Vicki Carpenter (Wendy Lyon) in 1987 as a means of exacting brutal revenge. Bill Nordham (Michael Ironside), who was responsible for Mary Lou's demise in 1957, is now the principal of the high school, and his son Craig (Justin Louis) happens to be dating Vicki.
"Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" is a pleasant surprise for a horror movie, especially a horror movie SEQUEL. I expected a thoroughly routine, silly, and very forgettable movie, but this movie, while not being particularly good enough to be memorable, offers a fair bit of entertainment, leading to a very "Carrie"-esque climax. This team of film-makers do their best to make it tense and scary, and while I can't say I was scared, their efforts do not go unnoticed.
The film is moody, solemn, suitably gory at times, and has a decent music score. Some of the roles are mere stereotypes, but the cast does what it can. Star Lyon is certainly a knockout; voyeurs may very well appreciate her nude scenes. Michael Ironside is top-billed but his role is more of a supporting one, and he simply proves here that he's really at his most effective when playing thoroughly nasty thugs - his character here is more than some one-dimensional villain and he's not as enjoyable here as when he plays 'the bad guy' in films.
Only really hurt by a groan-inducing, all-too-typical horror movie ending.
7/10
