In the movie Prom Night, Donnas’ senior prom is just around the corner and it’s going to be the best night of her life, one of magic, beauty, and love. Her life is torn apart when one of her high school teachers, Mr. Fenton, becomes so obsessed with her that he breaks into her house and kills her family and then when she stumbles into to yell at her brother for having the TV up to loud, she discovers him dead. Then she here’s a man’s voice but it wasn’t her dads, she immediately runs and hides under her parents bed and just before he killed her he said, “she belongs to me,” then Donna had to watch her mom get stabbed right in front of her eyes. Three years later, Donna is on anti-anxiety pills and suffering occasional nightmares but other than that she has finally moved on and is enjoying her last year of high school. Surrounded by her best friends and a wonderful boyfriend, she should be safe from the horrors of her past. Not knowing to her, Fenton breaks out of his asylum and finds his way back to Bridgeport. Clean-shaven and disguised (baseball cap pulled down over the eyes), he finds the hotel in which the prom is being held. Then when the night turns deadly, there is only one person who could be responsible, a man she thought was gone forever. This is definitely the night "to die for."
In the 'Prom Night' (2008) Movie Review Director, written by Mark h. Harris, “Nelson McCormick slaps on the kid gloves by not only toning down the gore but also by making sure the scares aren't too scary. Mission accomplished! There are a few potentially spooky moments in the film, but they're blunted by either revealing the killer too early or by presenting the "boo" moment in such an expected manner, it's rendered inert. McCormick actually pulls out the old "medicine cabinet mirror" scare not once, but twice. And the film does itself a disservice by making the killer as, if not more, visible than the victims. There's no air of mystery about a guy walking around in a tweed coat making polite conversation.” I agree part of this statement because I was a very jumpy person so I was a little scared when things just popped out and the killer randomly showed up or jumped out places. I did not like the ending though. I think the director could have done way better. But over all I did like this movie. I don’t think there was a specific theme but if someone is after you then have the common sense to move somewhere where he won’t find you. But after the trauma Donna went through, I can understand. This is a great film and very entertaining.
