Goofs:
Factual errors: The movie plot revolves around the fact that the characters are staying the same hotel as their prom. As a rule, hotels don't rent rooms to prom-goers. moreQuotes:
Donna: [leaving the dance floor] You really out did yourself, Crissy.Crissy Lynn: Thanks! I wanted it to look just like an L.A. club.
[turning to Lisa]
Crissy Lynn: I mean, nobody could believe it. Right?

...let me count the ways.
1. A title-only 'remake' that pulls out every cliché in the slasher handbook.
2. A plot so predictable that it becomes quite pathetic.
3. A completely weak execution of all attempts at suspense or thrills.
4. A PG-13 rating that insures no gore, violence, or sex.
5. A villain that is not frightening or even mysterious.
6. A cast of characters that are so thinly written and stereotyped that we couldn't possibly care about them.
7. A lack of any effectively creepy atmosphere (much unlike the original Prom Night).
8. A script of dialog that's beyond poor - it's mind numbing.
9. A series of cardboard performances (not sure whether to blame the actors or the lousy aforementioned script for that).
10. A completely inept teen-targeted slasher remake that's not brave enough to attempt to have an imagination - or even to show a puddle of blood.
It's a no-brainer horror fans, save your money.
BOMB out of ****
