The fact that you are comparing Prom Night to The Sixth Sense terrifies me. Go back to your DTV obsession, it makes you look better.

What about the original Halloween, the same exact type of movie as Prom Night. It would be PG-13 if released now. It shows the right way to make a slasher film without a lot of gore.

the 13-year old girls of today would disagree with you.

To be either thrilled, excited, scared, involved, entertained, or remotely interested in the proceedings. To feel a single emotion other than, "Holy shit, this thing has an hour left?"

Heh, right on. I was looking at my watch throughout.

by my definition you are an idiot. The movie wasn't shown to critics, was rated Pg-13, starred 1 "didn't I see her in" person, 1st time filmmaker. Goodness. Fucking Oscar glory right there.

All of the above aside from one could apply to The Ruins and that was a very good film.

well ur hopes shouldn't be that high unless you think it should be?

For one, you calling anyone an idiot is pretty amusing. But you're right, getluv. How dare I go into a movie hoping to be entertained... or anything? I mean, I listed off every basic emotional response when going to a horror movie.

...AND expecting that from Prom Night of all movies. Well Done. Gold Star for you.

So you're saying that the key to Prom Night is to go in expecting an awful movie, and then be satisfied by the ninety minutes of awful, boring movie?

Well, it explains how you got through some of those SMG flicks.

Slasher fight!

i actually gave TG2 a D-. and The Return a D, so selective hearing on your account.

I didn't expect anything when i went into see Prom Night but i didn't expect to be blown away from the people associated with The Convenant.

And I didn't have any expectations whatsoever other than wanting it to be better than When a Stranger Calls.

well IMO it achieved that, retardly.

It did achieve that, which is why I gave it a D instead of an F. It's still a fairly miserable movie to sit through.

i actually found this less miserable to sit thru than SAW.

Uh... yay?

Really enjoyed this one for some reason. It's not scary at all, but it's very entertaining and fast-paced. I really liked the characters and it was fun seeing a slasher film on the big screen again (despite this being a watered-down one). With the torture-porn fad dying down, I hope the slasher film (my personal favorite kind of horror film) can stage a comeback. Brittany Snow was quite good, as was Dana Davis. I'd recommend it. B

They were both awfully vapid and annoying.

You're the reason movies in America are turning into shit.

I'd certainly rather watch this than most of the horrible horror films released as of late (Hostel: Part II, Saw IV, Captivity, etc.)

Is it a great horror film? Absolutely not. But looking it purely in terms of entertainment value (and the fact that it's essentially a teen flick), I had fun.

Because you're wimpy

Nah, I've just been sorely, sorely disappointed in the crop of horror films that have been released lately. I used to be a huge fan of the genre and last year over half of my bottom ten was comprised of horror films. Thankfully things seem to be turning around, as evidenced by last week's The Ruins.
